LIC Jeevan Tarun Policy Details

1. Grace Period

   To pay the premium, the policyholders have the leverage of 30 days to pay the premium (yearly/half-yearly/quarterly modes). For the monthly premium paying mode, the grace period is 15 days. If the policyholder does not pay within these days, then the policy lapses. 

2. Free Look Period

   This plan gives the policyholder a period of 30 days to think about whether they wish to continue the plan or not. This gives you an option to cancel the policy within this period if the policyholder has made no claim.

3. Revival

   If premiums aren’t paid within the grace period, the policy lapses. It can be revived within 5 years by paying all overdue premiums with interest and meeting LIC’s health requirements. Revival is subject to approval and may be accepted on original or modified terms, or declined. Riders, if any, can only be revived along with the main policy.

4. Paid-Up Policy

   If less than one full year’s premium is paid and a due premium is missed, the Jeevan Tarun LIC policy lapses with no benefits. After paying at least one full year’s premium, the policy becomes paid-up if future premiums aren't paid. In that case, reduced Death and Maturity Benefits apply. No future bonuses, survival benefits, or rider benefits are available under a paid-up policy.

5. Surrender

   The policy can be surrendered after one full year’s premium is paid. It acquires a Guaranteed Surrender Value after two full years’ premiums and a Special Surrender Value after one. On surrender, the higher of the two values is paid. Guaranteed Surrender Value is based on total premiums paid, adjusted for policy term, surrender year, and any Survival Benefits already paid.

6. Loan

   Under this LIC plan for child, loans are available after one full year’s premium is paid. Loan amounts depend on policy status and premiums paid, up to 75% of surrender value for in-force policies. Interest is charged at rates declared annually. If loan interest isn't paid and exceeds surrender value, the policy may be foreclosed. Any outstanding loan is deducted from benefits at the time of claim.

7. Policy Termination 

   The policy will automatically end when any of the following happens:

   1. The lump sum or last instalment of the death benefit is paid;

   2. The surrender value is paid out;

   3. The policy reaches maturity and no settlement option is chosen;

   4. The last instalment under the settlement option is paid;

   5. Loan interest is not paid on time (as explained in Section 11);

   6. The policy isn’t revived within the revival period and hasn’t become paid-up;

   7. The policy is cancelled during the free look period;
