Let’s take the example of Dev who is a 30-year-old male at the time of buying this policy. Assuming that he is looking for the following coverage -
Using the LIC Jeevan Umang calculator, the annual premium that Dev will have to pay comes to be Rs. 54,036 (including taxes).
* Note - Taxes include GST of 4.5% levied on 1st-year premiums and 2.25% on premiums payable in the subsequent years.
Let’s see what benefits Dev or his family will be entitled to in the following cases -
-
Scenario 1: If Dev dies within the premium paying term
Dev’s family will receive the death benefit, which is either 7 times the annual premium (Rs. 3,78,252) or the Basic Sum Assured plus applicable bonuses (Rs. 10,00,000 + bonus). Since the latter is higher, LIC will pay this amount.
-
Scenario 2: If Dev dies 10 years after the premium paying term ends
-
Dev will receive annual survival benefits for surviving these 10 years. It is equal to 8% of the BSA. Therefore, he would have received Rs. 80,000 annually for 10 years till his death.
-
On his death, Dev’s family can claim the death benefit amount, which will be equal to (Rs. 10,00,000 + bonuses).
-
Scenario 3: If Dev survives the policy term of 70 years
-
Dev will receive the Basic Sum Assured plus applicable bonuses (Rs. 10,00,000 + bonus) as a maturity benefit.
-
Dev will also have received annual survival benefits from the end of the premium-paying term until the end of the policy term. Each year of survival entitles Dev to 8% of the BSA, equal to Rs. 80,000 annually.
