LIC Jeevan Ankur Plan

According to this plan, the premium is required to be paid till the policy term ends. Additionally, at the end of the policy term, the Sum Assured along with the Loyalty Additions is paid as the Maturity Benefit, regardless of whether the Life Insured, i.e. the parent is alive or not.

If the Life Insured dies before the end of the policy term, the nominee, i.e. the child, gets the basic Sum Assured as the Immediate Death Benefit. The policy doesn’t end in such cases and the insurer continues to pay the rest of the premiums.

In addition, the nominee also gets the Income Benefit, which is 10% of the Sum Assured, every year till the end of the policy term, from the date of death of the policyholder. Furthermore, the policy is available with two additional riders to ensure extra protection and benefits for the policyholders.
