How it works
You pay a regular premium for a policy term of your choice. You will now be eligible to a life cover called the “Basic Sum Assured”. The life cover will increase automatically with every block of 5 policy terms - details of which are mentioned below. You can also avail the 'Accidental Death and Disability Rider' along with the cover. The rider will come at an additional cost.
Basic Sum Assured – this is the amount of cover which you are eligible for when you buy the plan.
Simple Reversionary Bonus – In this plan you will be eligible for a bonus which will be declared every year by LIC. This bonus may change from year to year. You can find the historical details of Bonus declared by LIC for various plans here.
Sum Assured on Death – this is based on the number of years that the policy has been active. This is calculated as follows:
Highest of:
- 10 times the Annualised Premium
- 100% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 0 to 5 years of policy term
- 125% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 6 to 10 years of policy term
- 150% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 11 to 15 years of policy term
- 200% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 16 to 20 years of policy term
Final Additional Bonus – This plan is also eligible for a one-time bonus at the end of the policy term. This is like a loyalty bonus for long term plans (usually reserved for policy terms greater than 15 years). The loyalty bonus is also declared by LIC every year.
