Eligibility for LIC Jeevan Amar Plan

Benefits of LIC Jeevan Amar Plan

Benefits available under LIC Jeevan Amar are:

1. Death Benefit

   The death benefit is paid to the nominee after the policyholder's demise during the policy term. The benefit paid for regular and limited premium payment plans will be the highest of:

   • 7 times the annualized premiums paid or 

   • 105% of the premiums paid till death or 

   • the absolute sum assured to be paid on death. 

   The death benefit for a single premium is defined as: 

   • 125% of the single premium paid or 

   • Absolute death benefit, whichever is higher

2. Availability of Riders for enhanced protection

   The plan offers four additional riders, namely LIC Accident Benefit Rider, which can be added to protect against accidental death.

3. Tax Benefits

   The death benefit received under the LIC Jeevan Amar Policy is eligible for tax benefits per the prevalent tax laws.

Optional Benefits:

• The policyholder can add the LIC Accident Benefit Rider to the base plan after the first two years of premium payment. The rider applies to any instance of death by accident and adds the proceeds to the absolute sum assured that is released as a death benefit to your family.

• Under the plan, the policyholder can take Death Benefits in instalments over 5, 10, or 15 years instead of getting a one-time lump sum amount for an active insurance policy. The policyholder can decide to do this while they are alive. They can receive either the full or a portion of the death benefits in installments—a percentage of the total claim amount.
