Jeevan Akshay from LIC is an Immediate Annuity Plan. These plans are useful for your retirement as they ensure a regular income for the rest of your life. You pay a lumpsum amount to the insurance company and in return, you have ensured a steady flow of money. The flow of money is predictable and that is what one wants when one retires.
However, there may be scenarios wherein you want a lumpsum amount for some urgent requirement. In such scenarios, it is usually not possible to withdraw money from your Annuity plan. So it is always advisable to only use part of your retirement corpus to purchase an Annuity plan.
Given that such scenarios might occur, LIC has provided some flexibility in one of its Annuity Options. You can surrender your Jeevan Akshay Policy and get a lump sum amount.
