What this product is
A whole-life-style participating plan that pays a guaranteed yearly income (8% of sum assured) for life after the premium term ends, plus a full sum-assured-plus-bonus payout on death.
You might need this if…
- You might need this if you want a plan that keeps paying you an income every year for the rest of your life once you stop paying premiums.
- You might need this if you want life cover that continues until age 100, alongside the income.
- You might need this if you want a participating (bonus-eligible) plan rather than a purely fixed-benefit one.
- You might need this if you're planning for retirement income starting at a defined future date (end of your chosen premium term).
How it actually works
- Entry age 30 days to 55 years; premium payment term chosen from 15, 20, 25 or 30 years; cover runs to age 100.
- Minimum Basic Sum Assured ₹2,00,000, no maximum.
- Once premiums stop, an annual survival benefit of 8% of Basic Sum Assured is paid every year for life (or until maturity at age 100).
- Death benefit at any time: higher of 7x annualised premium or Basic Sum Assured, plus vested bonuses, floor of 105% of premiums paid.
- Simple Reversionary Bonuses accrue during the premium-paying term; a Final Additional Bonus may apply at claim.
- Optional riders: accidental death & disability, accident benefit, term assurance, premium waiver (proposer's death) — combined cap 30% of base premium.
Worked example
A 20-year-old buying ₹2,00,000 Basic Sum Assured with a 15-year premium term pays about ₹16,542 a year (excluding taxes); from year 16 onward they'd receive 8% of sum assured, i.e. ₹16,000, every year for life.
Worth knowing before you decide
- Bonuses are not guaranteed — they depend on LIC's annual declared rates.
- Guaranteed Surrender Value only applies after 2 years of premiums paid, with factors from 30-90%.
- Minimum premium multiples increase in steps as sum assured rises, so double-check exact numbers for your chosen sum assured.
