LIC Jeevan Aadhar Plan is a special category plan as it is a Life Insurance Policy especially for Handicapped dependents. It is basically a Limited Payment Whole Life Plan which can be utilized as a long term annuity plan after the death of the Life Insured.
In this plan, premium needs to be paid for a maximum period of 35 years but the life cover continues till the death of the handicapped dependent. If the Life Insured dies before the handicapped dependent, the Death Benefit is paid partly in lumpsum and partly in instalments. 20% of the Sum Assured is paid in Lumpsum and the remaining amounts of 80% of the Sum Assured along with additions are utilized to purchase an annuity certain for 15 years which continues as long as the handicapped dependent is alive.
However, if the handicapped dependent dies before the Life Insured and during the premium paying term of the policy, the Life Insurance contract ends and the Life Assured will have the option of either keeping the policy for a reduced paid-up Sum Assured or receive the refund of premiums.
Since this is a whole life plan, there is no maturity benefit under this plan.
Hence this plan is a Limited Payment Whole Life cum Annuity plan with Guaranteed Additions which caters to the needs and requirements of a handicapped dependent.
