LIC Future Plus Plan

Eligibility Criteria of LIC Future Plus Plan

Let’s take a look at the eligibility criteria of the policy.

Benefits of LIC Future Plus Plan

The following are the benefits offered by LIC Future Plus Plan.

1. Maturity/Vesting Benefit:

   Policyholders of LIC Future Plus are entitled to receive the pension calculated from the annuity. However, at the time of policy initiation, the policyholder has opted for the commute of one-third of the bid value in the policy fund. In that case, he will be eligible to receive the amount in lump-sum upon maturity, and the pension amount will be reduced proportionately. Otherwise, the sum assured is released as a pension. During the time of vesting, the policyholder needs to decide which fund type he will invest in out of the 4 funds available in this policy, namely, Bond Fund, Income Fund, Growth Fund, and Balanced Fund.

2. Surrender Benefit:

   The LIC Future Plus Plan allows the policyholder to surrender the policy at any time. If the surrender is done before the first two years of the policy are complete, appropriate deductions are applied to the policy fund. After two years of premium payment, no deductions are done on the premium.

3. Death Benefit:

   Upon the death of the policyholder, no more premiums are payable for the ensuing policy tenure and the family/nominee is eligible for the pension proceeds as per the original policy. If the policy was in lapsed condition, then the pension amount released to the family will be as per the annuity rates prevalent at that point in time.    

4. Tax Benefits:

   For the benefits received from this plan, the policyholder and his family can avail themselves the income tax returns. 

   * Tax benefit will correspond to changes in tax laws
