How it works
LIC Limited Premium Endowment Plan with an Example
We have Raghav Saxena, age 30 who wishes to buy this plan. He goes in for the plan with the following:
Sum Assured - Rs. 3,00,000
Term - 12 years
Premium Payment Term = 9 years
Riders - None selected
Based on these parameters, his annual premium is Rs. 29,944 + Taxes = Rs. 31,291. Here we have assumed the current tax rate of 4.5%.
Death Benefit
Scenario 1 : If Raghav dies after 4 policy years.
Now Sum Assured on Death is the highest of the following:
- 10 times the Annualised Premium = 10 x 29,944 = Rs. 2,99,440
- 125% of Basic Sum Assured = Rs. 1.25 x 3,00,000 = 3,75,000
- 105% of all premiums paid = 105% x 4 x 29,944 = Rs. 1,25,765
Hence the Sum Assured on Death = Rs. 3,75,000
His nominee gets the sum of the following:
- Sum Assured on Death = Rs. 3,75,000
- Simple Reversionary Bonus = 4 x 12,000 = Rs. 48,000
- Final Addition Bonus = Nil
Here we have assumed the Simple Reversionary Bonus Rate of Rs. 40 per 1,000 Sum Assured. So the bonus in a year will be 40 x 3,00,000 / 1,000 = Rs. 12,000. Please keep in mind that is an assumption - the actual bonus rates will only be known when LIC declares it every year.
His nominee will get Rs. 3,75,000 + Rs. 48,000 = Rs. 4,23,000
Scenario 2 : If Raghav dies after 8 policy years
Now Sum Assured on Death is the highest of the following:
- 10 times the Annualised Premium = 10 x 29,944 = Rs. 2,99,440
- 125% of Basic Sum Assured = Rs. 1.25 x 3,00,000 = 3,75,000
- 105% of all premiums paid = 105% x 4 x 29,944 = Rs. 1,25,765
Hence the Sum Assured on Death = Rs. 3,75,000
His nominee gets the sum of the following:
- Sum Assured on Death = Rs. 3,75,000
- Simple Reversionary Bonus = 8 x 12,000 = Rs. 96,000
- Final Addition Bonus = Nil
Here we have assumed the Simple Reversionary Bonus Rate of Rs. 40 per 1,000 Sum Assured. So the bonus in a year will be 40 x 3,00,000 / 1,000 = Rs. 12,000. Please keep in mind that is an assumption - the actual bonus rates will only be known when LIC declares it every year. The Final Addition Bonus is also an assumption.
His nominee will get Rs. 3,75,000 + Rs. 96,000 = Rs. 4,71,000
Maturity Benefit
Scenario 3 : If Raghav survives till the end of the policy term of 12 years - He will get the sum of the following:
Basic Sum Assured = Rs. 3,00,000
Simple Reversionary Bonus = Rs. 1,44,000
Final Addition Bonus = Nil
Here we have assumed the Simple Reversionary Bonus Rate of Rs. 40 per 1,000 Sum Assured. So the bonus in a year will be 40 x 3,00,000 / 1,000 = Rs. 12,000. Please keep in mind that is an assumption - the actual bonus rates will only be known when LIC declares it every year. The Final Addition Bonus is also an assumption.
On Maturity Raghav will get = Rs. 3,00,000 + Rs. 1,44,000 = Rs. 4,44,000
