How it works - You pay a regular premium for a policy term of your choice. You will now be eligible to a life cover called the “Basic Sum Assured”. The life cover will increase automatically with every block of 5 policy terms - details of which are mentioned below. You can also avail the 'Accidental Death and Disability Rider' along with the cover. The rider will come at an additional cost.
What you get in LIC Jeevan Pragati Policy
Maturity Benefit (in case the policyholder survives till the end of the policy term) –
At the end of the policy term you will get “Basic Sum Assured” + “Simple Reversionary Bonus” (which you have received till date) + “Final Additional Bonus”.
Death Benefit (in case the policyholder dies at any time during the policy term) –
The nominee of the policyholder will now get “Sum Assured on Death” + “Simple Reversionary Bonus” (which have been received till date) + “Final Additional Bonus”.
Explanation of the terms used above:
Basic Sum Assured – this is the amount of cover which you are eligible for when you buy the plan.
Simple Reversionary Bonus – In this plan you will be eligible for a bonus which will be declared every year by LIC. This bonus may change from year to year. You can find the historical details of Bonus declared by LIC for various plans here.
Sum Assured on Death – this is based on the number of years that the policy has been active. This is calculated as follows:
Highest of:
10 times the Annualised Premium
100% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 0 to 5 years of policy term
125% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 6 to 10 years of policy term
150% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 11 to 15 years of policy term
200% of Basic Sum Assured in case of death within 16 to 20 years of policy term
Final Additional Bonus – This plan is also eligible for a one-time bonus at the end of the policy term. This is like a loyalty bonus for long term plans (usually reserved for policy terms greater than 15 years). The loyalty bonus is also declared by LIC every year.

Now let us see the benefits which Akshay will get in this plan.
Death Benefit - In case of Akshay's death, his nominee will be paid the get “Sum Assured on Death” + “Simple Reversionary Bonus” (which have been received till date) + “Final Additional Bonus”. Let us assume that Akshay's unfortunate death was after 7 years. Based on this the calculation would be as follows:
(A) Sum Assured on Death = 125% of Basic Sum Assured = 125% of Rs. 2,50,000 = Rs. 3,12,500
(B) Simple Reversionary Bonus = Rs. 10,500 x 7 years = Rs. 73,500
Here we have assumed that a Bonus of Rs. 42 per 1000 Sum Assured has been declared every year. So the bonus every year would be 42 x 2,50,000/1,000 = Rs. 10,500
(C) Final Additional Bonus = Since Final Additional Bonus is generally paid only if one has paid 15 years of premium, there will be no payout under this head. His nominee would have received an amount under this head in case the death had happened after 15 years.
So in case Akshay dies after paying 7 premiums, the Death Benefit payable to his nominee would be = (A) + (B) + (C) = Rs. Rs. 3,12,500 + Rs. 73,500 + Rs. 0 = Rs. 3,86,000
Death Benefit in LIC Jeevan Pragati in this example = Rs. 3,86,000
You can use this to get a fairly accurate estimate of the death benefit of LIC Jeevan Pragati plan of yours. The death benefit amount of LIC Jeevan Pragati is totally tax free.

Now let us see how much Akshay would get in case as Maturity Value in LIC Jeevan Pragati
Maturity Benefit - At the end of the policy term, Akshay will be paid the “Basic Sum Assured” + “Simple Reversionary Bonus” (which have been received till date) + “Final Additional Bonus”. Based on this the calculation would be as follows:
(A)Basic Sum Assured = Rs. 2,50,000
(B) Simple Reversionary Bonus= Rs. 10,500 x 20 years = Rs. 2,10,000
Here we have assumed that a Bonus of Rs. 42 per 1000 Sum Assured has been declared every year. So the bonus every year would be 42 x 2,50,000/1,000 = Rs. 10,500
(C) Final Additional Bonus = Rs. 12,500
Here we have assumed a Final Addtional Bonus rate of Rs. 50 per 1000 Sum Assured = 50 x 2,50,000/1,000 = Rs. 12,500
So Akshay will get the following amount as Maturity Value = (A) + (B) + (C) = Rs. Rs. 2,50,000 + Rs. 2,10,000 + Rs. 12,500 = Rs. 4,72,500
Maturity Benefit in LIC Jeevan Pragati in this example = Rs. 4,72,500
