Here are some of the prominent features of the LIC Jeevan Umang plan:

Functioning Of LIC’s Jeevan Umang Plan

Let’s understand this plan with a suitable example!

Imagine Mr. Ajay, 30 years old, buys LIC Jeevan Umang plan of sum assured Rs. 5 lakhs and premium payment term of 20 years. The policy term will be 100 – Entry Age, i.e., 100 – 30 = 70 years. Therefore, the annualized premium including tax will be Rs. 26,104 + 1,175 = Rs. 27,279.

SCENARIO 1: Mr. Ajay dies after 6 years of paying the premium.

In such a case, the nominee will get the death benefit which is higher of the following:

• 10 X Annualized Premium = 10 X 27,279 = Rs. 2,72,790

• Basic Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus = Rs. 5,00,000 + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus

SCENARIO 2: Mr. Ajay dies after 23 years of paying the premium

As the premium payment term is over and Mr. Ajay has paid all his 20 premiums, he will be eligible for the survival benefits. 

1 Year After The 20th Premium: 8% of Sum Assured = 8% of 5,00,000 = Rs. 40,000

2 Years After The 20th Premium: 8% of Sum Assured = Rs. 40,000

3 Years After The 20th Premium: 8% of Sum Assured = Rs. 40,000

Moreover, after Mr. Ajay’s death, the nominee will get the death benefit as mentioned in the above case. 

Therefore, Mr. Ajay will receive 8% of the Basic Sum Assured for each year he lives following the premium-paying period. Until he is 100 or until he passes away, whichever comes first, he will receive this Rs. 40,000. Additionally, if he passes away at any point beyond the term for paying the premiums, his nominee will get the Death Benefit, and the insurance will expire.

SCENARIO 3: Mr. Ajay survives till the age of 100.

After the 20-year period of premium payments has ended, Mr. Ajay would receive the Survival Benefit of Rs. 40,000 per year. The Maturity Benefit, which consists of the Sum Assured plus the Simple Reversionary Bonus and the Final Addition Bonus, is also available to him.

Exclusions Under LIC’s Jeevan Umang Plan

The following things are excluded under the policy:

• Only 80% of the premiums paid up to the date of death may be claimed by nominees if the life assured commits suicide within the first year of the policy.

• After a full year from the policy’s resurrection date, if the life assured dies by suicide, the nominees may be entitled to the higher 80 percent of premiums paid thus far or the policy’s acquired surrender value.
