What Benefits Are Available Under The LIC Jeevan Labh Policy?

The following are the three major benefits provided by the LIC Jeevan Labh policy:

• Death Benefit: The total of the ‘Sum Assured on Death’, ‘Simple Reversionary Bonuses’, and the ‘Final Additional Bonus’ is handed out as death benefits (if any) to the policyholder. The higher of the 10 times annual premium paid or the basic sum assured is the ‘Sum Assured on Death’. The death benefit will not be less than 105 % premiums paid as of the death date.

• Maturity Benefit: The policyholder will receive the amount assured on maturity as a lump sum at the policy’s maturity, which is equal to the ‘Basic Sum Assured’ plus any vested ‘Simple Reversionary Bonuses’ and ‘Final Additional Bonuses’.

• Profit Participation: If the insurance is in full force, policyholders are eligible for the company’s ‘Simple Reversionary Bonuses’. When a claim for maturity or death is lodged, a ‘Final Additional Bonus’ may also be awarded.

Functioning Of LIC Jeevan Labh Policy

Let’s understand with an example how the LIC Jeevan Labh policy works!

We have Mr. Ramesh, who is 35 years old and wishes to buy the LIC Jeevan Labh policy. He decided to buy the plan with a sum assured of Rs. 2,00,000, policy term of 25 years, and premium payment term of 16 years. 

His annual premium is Rs. 9,290 + taxes = Rs. 9,708. We’ve used a 4.5 percent tax rate as a starting point.

If Mr. Ramesh dies within the policy period, let’s say after 2 policy years

If Mr. Ramesh dies after 2 policy years, the nominee will get Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus. 

SUM ASSURED: Rs. 2,00,000

SIMPLE REVERSIONARY BONUS: We’ve assumed that a bonus of Rs. 40 per 1,000 Sum Assured is declared each year. 

Therefore, Simple Reversionary Bonus will be 40 X 200 X 2, which is equal to Rs. 16,000.

FINAL ADDITION BONUS: The final additional bonus is usually announced after a considerably longer period of premium payment. So, here the value will be nil.

TOTAL VALUE: Therefore, the nominee will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs, 16,000, i.e., Rs. 2,16,000.

If Mr. Ramesh survives the policy term of 25 years

If Mr. Ramesh survives the policy term of 25 years, he will get Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus. 

SUM ASSURED: Rs. 2,00,000

SIMPLE REVERSIONARY BONUS: We’ve assumed that a bonus of Rs. 40 per 1,000 Sum Assured is declared each year. Therefore, the value will be Rs. 40 per 1000 Sum Assured for 25 years, i.e., 40 X 200 X 25 = Rs. 2,00,000.

FINAL ADDITION BONUS: We’ve assumed a one-time Final Addition Bonus of Rs. 20 per 1,000 Sum Assured in this example. Therefore, the value will be Rs. 20 per 1000 Sum Assured, i.e., 20 X 200 = Rs. 4,000. 

TOTAL VALUE: Mr. Ramesh will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 4,04,000.
