Benefits of the New Endowment Plan 714

The New Endowment Plan by Life Insurance Corporation of India offers a combination of financial protection and savings, helping you secure your family’s future while building long-term wealth. Here are the key benefits that make this plan a smart choice for your financial goals.

• Maturity Benefit:
  If the policyholder survives the entire tenure of the policy, then at the time of maturity, he/she will receive the basic sum assured amount along with accrued bonuses as a maturity benefit, and the policy's tenure will lapse.

• Death Benefit:
  If the insured person dies during the policy's tenure, the beneficiary receives the death benefit as the total sum assured on death along with the simple reversionary bonus or accrued bonus, and the policy's tenure lapses.
  Sum Assured on Death is defined as higher of:

  • The basic Sum Assured as chosen at the beginning of the policy

  • 7 times of annualized premium

  Subject to a minimum of 105% of the total premiums paid as of the date of death

• Death benefit in instalment or Settlement option:

  There are options to receive the death benefit in instalment instead of a lump sum. The maturity benefit can also be received in instalments using the Settlement option. For both cases here is the breakdown of the payout:

  Mode of Instalment payment	Minimum Instalment Amount (Rs)
  Monthly	5,000
  Quarterly	15,000
  Half-yearly	25,000
  Yearly	50,000

• Participation in Profit:
  LIC New Endowment Plan participates in the company's profits, and the policy accumulates Simple Reversionary Bonuses and a Final Additional Bonus, which are declared based on the company's experience. A simple reversionary bonus is offered to the insured in case of the death benefit or maturity benefit, provided the policy has completed the certain minimum years.

• Rider Benefit for Enhanced Protection:
  LIC New Endowment Plan offers four optional riders such as LIC's Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider, LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider, LIC’s New Term Assurance Rider, and LIC’s Premium Waiver Benefit Rider. These riders financially protect the policyholder and their family from life’s uncertainties such as death, disability and diseases

Riders Available in New Endowment Plan 714

You can get enhanced protection by adding the following available riders to the LIC New Endowment Plan 714 base policy.

• LIC’s Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider

  This rider can be added to an active policy if the premium paying term is atleast 5 years and the life assured is below 65 years. It offers coverage up to 70 years or the end of the policy term. In case of accidental death, a lump sum is paid. For accidental disability within 180 days, the benefit is paid in monthly instalments over 10 years, and future premiums are waived. For minors, it is available after 18 years on request. 

• LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider

  This rider works similarly and can be added at any point during an in-force policy, if the policyholder is under 65 and has at least 5 years left in the policy term. This only provides a lump sum payout if the policyholder dies due to an accident. It does not offer any payout in case of disabilities caused by the accident.

  Note: Only one of the Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider and the Accident Benefit Rider can be chosen.

• LIC’s New Term Assurance Rider

  This rider can only be selected at the start of the policy. The coverage under this rider will be available throughout the policy term. If chosen, an amount equivalent to the Term rider sum assured on death will be paid in case of the life assured’s death during the policy term. 

• LIC’s Premium Waiver Benefit Rider 

  This rider can be added to an active policy on the policy anniversary if at least five years of premiums remain. It can be chosen only if the life assured is a minor. If the proposer dies, future premiums are waived during the rider term. This rider can't be added if the proposer's age plus the rider term exceeds 70 years.
