LIC Jeevan Umang Plan Example

Let us understand this plan with the help of an example:

Suppose Sachin who is 35 years old buys this plan with the following parameters.

Sum Assured = Rs. 50,00,000
Policy Term = 100 - Age at entry = 100 - 35 = 65 years
Premium Payment Term = 20 years

Based on this the yearly premium will be Rs. 2,60,000 + (Approx)

Since his age is greater than 8 years at the time of taking the plan, the risk cover will start immediately. 

Scenario 1 Sachin dies after 7 years of paying the premium.

His nominee will get the Death Benefit which is higher of the following:10 times the Annualised Premium = Rs. 26,00,000 or Basic Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus = Rs. 50,00,000 + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition BonusIn fact, his nominee will get this same benefit, if Gaurav dies anytime before the premium payment term.

Scenario 2 Sachin dies after 22 years of taking the plan and has paid all 20 premiums.

Since his premium payment of 20 years is over, he would be eligible for Survival Benefits every year after that as follows:1 year after he has finished paying the 20th premium = 8% of Sum Assured = 8% of Rs. 50,00,000 = Rs. 400,000. 2 years after he has finished paying the 20th premium = 8% of Sum Assured = 8% of Rs. 50,00,000 = Rs. 400,000
His nominee will get the Death Benefit which is higher of the following:10 times the Annualised Premium = Rs. 2,60,000 or Basic Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus = Rs. 50,00,000 + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus
Note: Now for every year that Sachin is alive after the premium paying term, he will get 8% of the Basic Sum Assured. He will get this Rs. 400,000 till he reaches the age of 100 or till his death, whichever is earlier.

Also, if Gaurav dies anytime after the premium payment term, his nominee will get the Death Benefit and the policy will terminate.

Scenario 3 -   Sachin survives till the age of 100.

He will get the Survival Benefit of Rs. 400,000 every year after the completion of the premium payment term of 20 years. 

He is also eligible for the Maturity Benefit also which = Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus.
