Review of LIC Jeevan Tarun

Mrs. Ankita, a school teacher and a mother of two children recently bought LIC Jeevan Tarun Plan. The major reason for buying this plan is the commitment of the company to release the claim amount within 25 days of her husband’s death. Her late husband bought the same plan in 2021. The death benefit received under the plan helped Mrs. Srivastava and her family to a great extent in attaining financial independence.

Now, being a single mother and the sole breadwinner of the family, she is determined to provide financial security to her children if something unfortunate happens to her, and for this, she bought LIC Jeevan Tarun.

LIC Jeevan Tarun is a Life Assurance savings plan that is specially designed to protect the financial future of your children in your absence. The plan is eligible for an individual between 90 days to 12 years of age. Along with several benefits, the plan offers 4 survival benefits to the policyholder which can be chosen at the time of buying the policy.
