Surrendering the LIC JeevanTarang Policy

If you are unable to pay the premiums and want to surrender the policy after three years, you would have to select one of the following options:

• Make the Policy Paid up - In this scenario, you will get eligible for the Sum Assured as per the ratio between premiums paid and those that are yet to be paid.  This value is received either on maturity of the policy or on death of the insured. For instance, you decide to surrender your policy after 6 years for which the Accumulation Period is 15 years and the Sum Assured is 10 lacs. In this case, you would get 4 lacs as the Sum Assured (i.e. 40% of the actual Sum Assured), because premiums are paid for 6 years (i.e. 40% of the total Accumulation Period). Formula for calculating the Paid-Up Value is:Paid-Up Value = (Number of premiums paid / Total number of premiums payable) * Original Sum Assured
• Take the Surrender Value – Surrender Value is the amount you receive at time of surrendering the policy. You may get the surrender value in case you have paid the premium for three years.It is equal to 30% of the sum of premiums paid excluding the first year’s premiums, any extra premiums, or premiums paid for optional benefits. The formula to calculate Surrender Value is: Surrender Value = (30% of all premiums paid – 1st year’s premium)
