Dhan Varsha (Plan No. 866, UIN No. 512N349V01) plan from LIC is a newly launched, non-participating, non-linked, savings, individual life insurance plan that provides an opportunity for the policyholder to combine protection with savings. The plan can be purchased by paying a single lump sum premium amount and comes in two variants: Option 1 and Option 2.

Some of the key features of the plan are as follows:
Payment Of Premiums: The plan allows the premium payment in a single lump sum payment mode only.
Rebate For Online Sale: Policies purchased through online sales without the aid of an agent or intermediary are entitled to a 2% discount on the tabular premium.
Surrender Value: At any point throughout the policy term, the policyholder may surrender the coverage. When a policy is surrendered, the corporation will pay the higher of the guaranteed surrender value or the special surrender value as the surrender value.
Loan Facility: After three months from the policy’s completion (i.e., three months from the date of issuance of the policy), or after the expiration of the free-look period, whichever comes later, a loan may be obtained under this plan at any time during the policy term, subject to the terms and conditions that the corporation may from time to time specify.
Free Look Period: The policy may be returned to the company within 30 days of the date of receipt of the electronic or physical mode of the Policy Document, whichever is sooner if the policyholder is dissatisfied with the “Terms and Conditions” of the policy.
The plan offers the following benefits to the policyholder:
Death Benefit: The death benefit payable on the death of the life assured within the policy period following the date of the beginning of risk but prior to the date of maturity will be “Sum Assured on Death” along with accrued Guaranteed Additions.
Sum Assured on Death will be as follows for both options:
Option 1: 1.25 times of Tabular Premium for the chosen Basic Sum Assured
Option 2: 10 times of Tabular Premium for the chosen Basic Sum Assured
Maturity Benefit: At maturity, the “Basic Sum Assured” and accrued Guaranteed Additions will be paid. The accrued guaranteed additions, which are included when a policy is surrendered, also contain the guaranteed additions in proportion to the months that have already passed for the relevant policy year.
Guaranteed Additions: The Basic Sum Assured, the Policy Term, and the Option Chosen will all have an impact on the Guaranteed Additions, which will accrue at the conclusion of each policy year throughout the policy term. The guaranteed addition rates are as listed below.
Basic Sum Assured Policy Term Of 10 Years Policy Term Of 15 Years

Rider Benefit: Only at the time of purchase are the following two optional riders available for purchase:
LIC’s Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider (UIN: 512B209V02)
LIC’s New Term Assurance Rider (UIN: 512B210V01)
Let’s understand the working of the plan with a suitable example.
Mr. Sumit, a 30 years old healthy male, purchases the Option 2 variant of the LIC Dhan Varsha plan. Other details of the plan are as follows:
Policy Term: 15 Years
Basic Sum Assured: Rs. 10,00,000
Sum Assured On Death: Rs. 79,87,000
GST Rate: 4.50%
Single Premium (Without GST): Rs. 7,98,700
Single Premium (With GST): Rs. 8,34,642
Now, let’s take a look at different scenarios!
If Mr. Sumit dies in the 10th policy year.
The nominee will get the following amounts:
Sum Assured On Death: Single Premium Paid X 10: Rs. 83,46,420
Guaranteed Additions: Rs. (40 X 10,00,000/1,000) X 10: Rs. 4,00,000
If Mr. Sumit survives the policy term of 15 years.
He will get the following amounts:
Basic Sum Assured: Rs. 10,00,000
Guaranteed Benefits For 15 Years: Rs. (40 X 10,00,000/1,000) X 15: Rs. 6,00,000
Therefore, the final maturity benefit will be Rs. 16,00,000.
