How To Check The Maturity Amount Of LIC Policies?

What is the Maturity Amount of LIC Policies?

The Maturity Amount of an LIC policy is the final sum received upon the policy's maturity. In participating plans, the Maturity Value includes the Sum Assured, the Bonuses accrued during the policy term, and any declared Final Addition Bonus.
The exact amount varies depending on the policy type, sum assured, tenure, and the policy’s declared bonuses and profits.

How is the LIC Maturity Amount Calculated?

The exact maturity value of a LIC policy can't be precisely calculated, but you can estimate it to understand the benefits you'll receive at the end of the term. The maturity value typically includes the Sum Assured, any bonuses, and a Final Additional Bonus (if declared).

Here’s how to estimate the maturity value using the LIC online Maturity Calculator:

Example Calculation: Mr. Z buys a policy with a Sum Assured of ₹15 lakh and a term of 20 years. Assume the company declares an annual bonus of ₹42 per ₹1,000 of the Sum Assured and a Final Additional Bonus of ₹22 per ₹1,000.

1. Calculate the Bonus:

   (15,00,000/1000) x 42 x 20 = 12.6 Lakh

2. Calculate the Final Additional Bonus:

   15,00,000/1000) x 22 = Rs. 33,000

3. Calculate the Total Maturity Value:

   15,00,000+12,60,000+33,000 Rs. 27,93,000
   So, if Mr. Z is alive at the end of the 20-year term, he will receive approximately ₹28 lakh. If he passes away during the policy term, his nominee will receive the ₹15 lakh Sum Assured as a Death Benefit.
   Note: Each LIC policy has its specific terms and features based on factors such as the Sum Assured, policy term, age of the policyholder, and premium payments. Therefore, the bonuses and final additional bonuses may vary. Always refer to the details of your specific LIC policy for accurate information.
