Note: The premium (mentioned above) doesn’t include rider premium, additional premium, or taxes if applicable.
- Survival benefit:
This is the second benefit and feature that a policyholder will get after availing of the insurance plan.
During the period of the policy, if the policyholder survives at the end, then he/she is entitled to receive the minimum sum assured. But here’s the catch!
All premiums should have been paid by the user then only he/she shall receive the amount. Let’s take a look at the different policy terms:
- Maturity Benefit:
Just like the survival benefit aforementioned, this benefit states that if the policyholder survives till the end of the period of the policy, he/she is entitled to receive “Sum Assured on Maturity” along with loyalty and guaranteed addition. But there’s a condition that he/she should have paid all the amount of the premium during the period of the policy.
- Grace Period:
This is one of the biggest features of LIC Bima Shree, making it a popular plan among its segment. If the policyholder (due to some reason) fails to pay the premium on the first date, then he/she will likely receive a grace period of 30 days for yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly premiums.
During the period of the policy, if the user fails to pay the premium even before the grace period expires, then the policy will lapse.
Note: Keep in mind that the grace period is also applied to the rider premiums that should be paid on time.
- Paid-Up Policy:
As the name suggests, if the policyholder fails to pay the amount of the premium (for less than 2 years of the policy period), then he/she shall not get any benefits under the policy and later, the company will cease the policy.
Talking about another scenario, if the policyholder, fortunately, paid the premium amount of the full 2 years but failed to pay any subsequent premiums, then the policy may not be completely cancelled but shall subsist as a paid-up policy till the conclusion of the period of the policy.
