July 11, 2022

LIC Jeevan Pramukh (Plan No. 167) is the best plan for high-worth individuals i.e. Managers, CEOs, corporates, professionals, industrialists, estate owners, NRI, film stars, etc. Jeevan Pramukh’s plan comes with a convenient premium paying term of 3, 4, and 5 years. However, the Life insurance cover continues for a longer term even after the premium paying term.

Jeevan Pramukh also provides guaranteed addition of Rs.50/- per thousand Sum Assured per year for the first 5 years and a revisionary bonus thereafter in addition to your basic sum assured.

This is an Endowment Assurance plan offering the choice of three premium paying terms. It provides financial protection against death throughout the term of the plan with the payment of maturity amount on survival to the end of the policy term.

Modes of Premium Payment:
Premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly, as opted by you, throughout the premium paying term or till earlier death.

Guaranteed Additions:
The policy provides for the Guaranteed Additions at the rate of Rs. 50/- per thousand Sum Assured for each completed year for the first five years of the policy. The Guaranteed Additions are payable along with the Sum Assured at the time of claim.

Bonuses :
The policy participates in the profits of the Corporation’s life insurance business from the 6th year onwards. It will get a share of the profits in the form of bonuses. Simple Reversionary Bonuses will be declared per thousand Sum Assured annually at the end of each financial year. Once declared, they will form part of the guaranteed benefits of the policy.

Maturity Benefit:
The Sum Assured along with accrued guaranteed additions and vested simple reversionary bonuses and Terminal Bonus, if any, is payable in a lump sum on survival to the end of the policy term.

Death Benefit:
On the death of the Life Assured during the term of the policy an amount equal to the Sum Assured along with accrued Guaranteed Additions and vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses and Terminal Bonus, if any, shall be payable provided the policy is in full force.

Paid-up Value:
If, after more than one full years’ premiums have been paid in respect of the Policy, any subsequent premium be not duly paid, the Policy shall not be wholly void but the Sum Assured shall be reduced to such a sum which shall bear the same ratio to the full Sum Assured as the number of premiums actually paid shall bear to the total number of premiums originally stipulated for in the Policy.

The policy so reduced shall thereafter be free from all liabilities for payment of the within-mentioned premium and shall not be entitled to the future Guaranteed Additions and bonuses.

However, the existing accrued Guaranteed Additions and vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses, if any, will remain attached to the reduced paid-up policy.

The paid-up value along with accrued Guaranteed Additions and vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses, if any, shall be payable on maturity or earlier death of the Life Assured.

Surrender Value:
The policy can be surrendered for cash after more than one year’s premiums have been paid.
The Guaranteed Surrender Value allowable under this plan will be equal to 30% of the total amount of premiums paid excluding the premiums for the first year and extra premiums if any.

The cash value of any accrued Guaranteed Additions and vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses, if any, will also be payable after the completion of 3 years.

Special Surrender Value will be available after the policy has completed 3 years from the date of commencement. The cash value of any accrued Guaranteed Additions and vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses, if any, will also be payable after the completion of 3 years.
