One of the most trusted and largest insurance companies in India, LIC has introduced New Bima Gold Plan, which is a money back endowment plan providing an extended cover beyond the premium paying term. Categorized under special plans by LIC, New Bima God Insurance policy is non-unit linked insurance plan that offers comprehensive life coverage at a nominal cost.
Under this plan, even if the premium is paid for the entire tenure of the policy, the plan continues till the extended term. The policy offers survival benefits to the insured at regular pre-decided intervals. After the tenure of the policy comes to an end, the policyholder receives the maturity benefit, which is the difference between the survival benefits and all the premiums you paid plus the loyalty additions. Moreover, till the extended tenure of the policy, 50% of the sum assured as life coverage is paid to the insured. During the extended term, the insured does not need to pay any premium.
In case of unfortunate demise of the insured person during the tenure of the policy, 100 % of the sum assured is paid to the beneficiary of the policy. If the insured dies after the tenure of the policy but during the extended term, then 50% of the sum assured is paid to the beneficiary.
In case the life insured survives during the whole tenure of the policy, then
On the maturity of the policy, the insured will get back the total of all the premiums paid till date plus loyalty addition. However, the amount already paid in the form of the survival benefits will be deducted from the sum assured on maturity. Moreover, till the extended tenure of the policy where no further premiums are payable, 50% of the sum assured is provided as life coverage till the end of the extended term.
The premium paid and maturity proceeds are exempt from tax deduction under section 80C and 10(10D).
