Let’s understand this with the help of an example.
Say that Ravi (30 years old) wants to purchase the LIC 736 policy with the following coverage options -
Basic Sum Assured (BSA) – Rs. 10 Lakhs
Policy Term - 21 years
Premium Paying Term - 15 years
LIC Bonus Rate 2020-21 for Jeevan Labh 936 – Rs. 44 per Rs. 1000 BSA
Using the LIC Jeevan Labh Calculator, the annual premium comes to be Rs. 54,707.
Death benefit to the family if Ravi dies in the 10th year of the policy
Higher of (7 x 54,707 = Rs. 3.82 Lakhs) or the BSA (Rs. 10 lakhs), which means the nominee will receive the latter.
Over 10 years, the bonus will be equal to Rs (44 x 10,00,000/1,000) x 10 = Rs. 4.4 Lakhs.
The total death benefit will be equal to Rs (10,00,000 + 4,40,000) = Rs. 14,40,000.
Maturity benefit if Ravi survives the entire policy term of 21 years
He will get the BSA (Rs. 10 lakhs) plus accrued bonuses.
The total bonus amount for 21 years will be equal to Rs (44 x 10,00,000/1,000) x 21 = Rs. 9.24 Lakhs.
The final maturity value at the end of 21 years will be equal to Rs. 19.24 lakhs.
