LIC Jeevan Tarun Plan with an Example
We have Suman Banerjee, age 35 who wishes to buy this plan. He goes in for the plan with the following:
Sum Assured - Rs. 2,00,000
Term - 20 years. Based on this the premium payment term gets decided
Based on these parameters, his annual premium is Rs. 6,874 + Taxes = Rs. 7,183. Here we have assumed the current tax rate of 4.5%.
Death Benefit
Scenario 1: If Suman dies after 3 policy years - The nominee would get the Sum Assured only.
Total Premiums Paid = Rs 21,549
Sum Assured = Rs. 2,00,000
Simple Reversionary Bonus = Nil, as the policy has not completed 5 years
So nominee will get Rs. 2,00,000
Scenario 2: If Suman dies after 15 policy years - The nominee would get the Sum Assured + Loyalty Addition
Total Premiums Paid = Rs 1,07,745
Sum Assured = Rs. 2,00,000
Loyalty Addition - Since the plan has completed 5 years, it is eligible for receiving Loyalty Addition. The exact value of this can only be known when it is declared. However, we have assumed a one-time value of Rs. 300 per 1,000 Sum Assured = (300 x 2,00,000/1,000) = Rs. 60,000
So his nominee will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 60,000 = Rs. 2,60,000
Maturity Benefit
Scenario 3: If Suman survives till the end of the policy term of 20 years - Suman will get the Sum Assured + Loyalty Addition
Total Premiums Paid = Rs. 1,43,660
Sum Assured = Rs. 2,00,000
Loyalty Addition - Since the plan has completed 5 years, it is eligible for receiving Loyalty Addition. The exact value of this can only be known when it is declared. However, we have assumed a one-time value of Rs. 500 per 1,000 Sum Assured = (500 x 2,00,000/1,000) = Rs. 1,00,000
So Sumit will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 1,00,000 = Rs. 3,00,000
