LIC Jeevan Anand Policy Table 149 by LIC of India

Policy Details : An excellent combination of endowment and whole life plans, LIC’s Jeevan Anand not only give survival benefits at the end of the term of policy, but also guarantees life cover to continue till the death of the policyholder.

What was even more exciting about the scheme was the fact that the amount of life cover (sum assured) is payable two times. One, at the end of the premium paying term to the policyholder, and after that, to nominee upon the death of the policyholder.

The following illustration explains the features of this plan:

Prashant , aged 31 years old, take Jeevan Anand for a period of 25 years for a sum assured of Rs Ten lakh. He will accordingly pay premiums on this policy till he become 65. At the end of the policy term, when Prashant is 56 years old, he will get maturity proceeds Rs 10 lakh, that is the sum assured, by the policy, and the amount of accrued bonuses, accumulated over 25 years.If in case Prashant dies at the age of 75, his nominee will once again get the sum assured of Rs 10 lakh from LIC.

During the previous three years, the bonus rates declared by LIC for Jeevan Anand have been Rs 34, Rs 37, Rs 41 and Rs 45 per Rs 1,000 sum assured for policy terms of 10, 15, 20 and 25 years, respectively.

But, in case of the death of the policyholder during the policy term, that is in the above illustration, if Prashant were to die during the 25 year policy term, his nominee will get the sum assured of Rs 10 lakh and the amount of accrued bonuses and the policy shall come to an end. There will be no additional receipts from LIC.

Death Benefit – In the event of death of the Life Insured prior to the end of the Policy Period, the sum assured plus accumulated bonus is paid
In case there is death of the Life Insured after the Policy Term, Sum Assured is given as death benefit at any time the policyholder dies.

Maturity Benefit – At the maturity of the insurance policy, the insured will get Sum Assured + accrued bonus plus final addition bonus

Income Tax Benefit – Premiums paid under life insurance policy are free from tax under Section 80 C and maturity earnings are free from tax under Section 10 (10D)
