About LIC Jeevan Umang

LIC Jeevan Umang is a whole life assurance plan which offers a combination of income and protection to your family.

In addition, LIC Jeevan Umang also takes care of liquidity needs through loan facilities, unlike the LIC Saral Jeevan Bima policy.

Jeevan Umang Benefits

  1. Death Benefit

    On the demise of the policyholder during the policy term, the sum assured on death along with a vested simple reversionary bonus and a final additional bonus is paid to the beneficiary of the policy.

    Sum assured on death will be equal to the basic sum assured amount or 7 times the annualized premium, whichever is higher.
