High Sum Assured With LIC’s Jeevan Labh Policy

With LIC Jeevan Labh, you can assure savings to the tune of lakhs by investing a small sum every day. In fact, the policy can give you a maturity sum of Rs. 20 lakhs if you just invest a premium amount of Rs. 258 on a daily basis. However, note that to get the entire benefit amount on maturity, you should have continued premium payment throughout the policy term until the due premiums have been paid. 

This savings scheme by LIC has capped the minimum sum assured at Rs. 2 Lakhs and has no limitations on the maximum sum that can be assured. Higher sum assured also entitles you to rebates on premium rates. 

How To Get Rs. 20 Lakhs With LIC Jeevan Labh?

Here’s how you can enjoy the maturity benefit of Rs. 20 Lakhs. Remember that the premiums will depend on your age at the time of proposal. If you are in your 20s, you can save a daily amount of Rs. 257 approx. for a period of 16 years and receive Rs. 20 Lakhs at the time of maturity after 25 years. If you are in your 30s, you will incur a slight increase in the daily premium, at around Rs. 266 for the same sum assured, policy term, and premium paying term.

Maximize Savings With Tax Benefits 

Another impetus towards investing in LIC Jeevan Labh is the income tax savings that one can enjoy post-purchase. Policyholders can claim tax benefits on the premiums paid towards the policy under Section 80C. The maturity and the death benefit offered are also exempt from taxes under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act of 1960. These income tax returns can be used to maximize your savings under the policy.  

Note: Tax benefit is subject to changes in tax laws.
