   LIC offers a grace period of 15-30 days to policyholders who still need to pay a due premium. If the premium payment frequency is monthly, the grace period is 15 days, for the rest of the frequencies, it is 30 days. The policy lapses unless payment is made by the end of this period.

2. Free-look Period

   LIC offers a 30-day free-look period from the date of policy initiation. During this period, the policyholder can cancel the policy if he/she is dissatisfied with its terms and conditions.

3. Policy Surrender

   The policyholder can surrender the policy and receive a guaranteed surrender value, provided the premiums are duly paid for two consecutive years. On surrender, the insurance company will pay a surrender value equal to the special or guaranteed surrender value (whichever is higher).

4. Loan Facility

   A policyholder becomes eligible for a loan after paying premiums for at least one year without fail. The plan offers a loan facility wherein, one can avail loan to meet financial emergencies as per the below criteria:

   Policy Status	Before payment of two  full year’s premiums	After payment of two  full year’s premiums
   Active Policies	50%	75%
   Paid-Up Policies	40%	65%

   Any outstanding loan and interest will be deducted from the claim payout at the time of policy exit.

5. Paid-up Value

   If the life assured has paid premiums for 1 year but stops after that, the policy will continue as a paid-up policy. In such cases, the sum assured shall decrease per the remaining premiums.

   The paid-up sum assured on death is equal to:

   • Number of premiums paid/ total number of premiums to be paid X sum assured on death

   Similarly, the paid-up sum assured on maturity is equal to:

   • Number of paid premium/ total number of premiums to be paid X sum assured on maturity

Riders, if any, can only be revived along with the base policy.

   If revival occurs after the premium paying term and survival benefits are due:

   • For paid-up policies with Maturity Paid-up Sum Assured < ₹2 lakhs: unpaid survival benefits will be paid.

   • For policies with Sum Assured ≥ ₹2 lakhs: the difference between full and reduced survival benefits will be paid.
