How LIC Jeevan Umang Policy Works with Example

Let’s look at the working of the plan in detail.

Suppose Ram takes this plan with following details in regular premium:

Age – 30
Policy Term – (100 – 30) = 70 years
Sum Assured – 2 Lakhs
Premium Paying Term – 20 Years

Based on the parameters his premium will be calculated and he will have to pay the premium of Rs. 10,692/- every year.

Scenario 1 – If Ram dies after paying premium for 5 years.

So in this case Ram’s nominee will receive the Death Benefit which will be the higher of the following:

  • 10 times the annualised premium = 10 x 10,692 = 1,06,920
  • Basic Sum Assured + Bonuses = 2,00,000 + Bonuses
  • 110% of the Basic Sum Assured = 2,20,000

Scenario 2 – If Ram dies after 25 years of taking the plan and he has paid all the premiums for 20 years

So in this case Ram’s nominee will receive the Death Benefit along with the Guaranteed return of 8% (BSA) for every surviving year after the premium payment term is over.

8 % of 2,00,000 = 16,000. This he will get for 5 years = 16,000 x 5 = 80,000
Again Death benefit will be higher of the following

  • 10 times the annualised premium = 10 x 10,692 = 1,06,920
  • Basic Sum Assured + Bonuses = 2,00,000 + Bonuses
  • 110% of the Basic Sum Assured = 2,20,000

Scenario 3 – If Ram survives till the age of 100

So in this case he will receive the 16,000 amount every year after the premium payment term of 20 years.

Also at the age of 100, Ram will receive Maturity Benefit = Sum Assured + Bonuses
