Issuing life or health insurance policies or annuity contracts on a salary savings, bank draft, preauthorized check or payroll deduction plan or other similar plan at a rate which is lower than that charged when the policies are not issued on such plan or with special underwriting considerations, such rate or underwriting considerations being reasonably related to the savings made by the use of such plan. e. Issuance of life, health insurance policies or annuity contracts at rates less than the usual rates of premiums or considerations for such policies or contracts or modification of premium or consideration based on amount of insurance or annuity; but any such issuance or modification shall not result in reduction of premium or consideration in excess of savings in administration and issuance expenses reasonably attributable to such policies or contracts.
