Maturity Benefit:
The “Sum Assured on Maturity” will be paid if the life assured survives the designated date of maturity and is equal to the “Total Premiums Paid” under a Regular Premium Payment policy and the “Single Premium Paid” under a Single Premium Payment Policy.
Rider Benefits:
The policyholder can enhance the policy by selecting various optional riders available under the plan with an extra payment. They are as follows:
- LIC’s Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider
- LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider
Settlement Option:
If the policyholder chooses the settlement option, he can choose to receive his maturity benefit from a paid-up or in-force policy in 5 annual installments rather than a lump sum. The amount selected by the life assured (i.e., Net Claim Amount) may be calculated either as a percentage of the total claim funds payable or as an absolute sum.
Option to Take Death Benefit In Installments:
This is an option to receive the death benefit under an in-force as well as paid-up policy in five-year installments rather than a lump sum. The life assured may use this option at any moment during his or her lifetime to receive all or a portion of the death benefits provided by the policy.
Grace Period:
From the date of the first unpaid premium, a grace period of 30 days will be given for the payment of yearly or half-yearly premiums. The policy will be regarded as continuing to provide risk coverage throughout this time, in accordance with the provisions of the policy, without interruption. The policy will expire if the premium is not paid before the days of grace have passed.
Free Look Period:
If the policyholder has any objections to the “terms and conditions” of the policy, they may return the policy to the corporation within 30 days of the day they received the physical or electronic version of the policy document, whichever comes first, along with a statement of their complaints.
The following conditions are related to the policy’s exclusions:
Under Regular Premium Payment:
- The nominee or beneficiary of the life assured shall be entitled to receive 80% of the total premiums paid up until the day of death, providing the policy is in place, if the life assured (whether sane or insane) commits suicide at any time within 12 months from the date of the beginning of risk.
- An amount equal to greater of 80% of the total premiums paid up to the date of death or the surrender value available as of the date of death must be payable in the event that the life assured (whether sane or insane) commits suicide within 12 months of the date of revival. The life assured’s nominee or beneficiary is not eligible for any additional insurance claims. This clause will not apply to plans that have expired without accumulating paid-up value, and such policies will not be subject to any payments.
Under Single Premium Payment:
The nominee or beneficiary of the life assured shall be entitled to 80% of the single premium paid if the life assured (whether sane or insane) commits suicide at any time during 12 months from the date of commencement of risk. Taxes, additional amounts charged under the insurance owing to an underwriting decision, and any applicable rider premiums are not included in the aforementioned payment.
