LIC Market Plus 1 was launched on July 5, 2006, and closed on June 30, 2010, after the IRDA mandated that all ULIP plans have to come with a life cover. 

LIC Market Plus 1 – Key Features

Let's look at the features of LIC Market Plus 1, in brief, and detail for both with cover and without. 

LIC Market Plus Without Life Cover – Features

Being designed primarily for retirement, LIC Market Plus 1, gave insured the option to choose whatever premium they prefer to pay. Let’s look at the features in more detail: 

  • The LIC Market Plus plan had a minimum entry age of 18 years and above while the maximum entry age was 75 years for regular premium, and 80 years for single premium plans.
  • The minimum maturity age for LIC Market Plus 1 was when the person had completed 40 years while the maximum maturity age was 85 years.
  • LIC Market Plus had a minimum deferment period of 10 years for investors paying a regular premium and 5 years for investors opting for the single premium payment option.
  • Being a unit-linked policy without cover, LIC Market Plus 1 had no sum assured. Both maturity and death benefits are comprised of only the plan's fund value.
  • Minimum premium under LIC Market Plus was different depending on the type of payment:
    • For monthly ECS payments, the regular premium was Rs.1,000 p.m. for a deferment term of 15 years and above, and Rs.1,500 p.m. for a deferment timeframe of 10 to 14 years. The premium can only be in multiples of Rs.250.
    • For other regular ECS modes, the premium was Rs.5,000 p.a. for a deferment period of 20 years and above, Rs.10,000 p.a. in case of deferment of 15 to 19 years, and Rs.15,000 p.a. if deferment is for 10 to 14 years. The premium can only be in multiples of Rs.1,000
    • The minimum single premium under LIC Market Plus was Rs.30,000 for a deferment term of 5 years and above.
  • Investors can move from one fund to another during the tenure of their LIC Market Plus 1 policy.
  • LIC Market Plus investors will receive an annuity based on the prevailing annuity rates on the maturity of their plan.
  • Policyholders also have the option to commute one-third of their fund value on vesting which will be paid as a lump sum and a reduced amount will be paid an annuity.
  • LIC Market Plus 1 will give an investor the option to purchase any pension plan from any life insurance company in India on vesting. If this option is exercised, the investor must inform LIC of their decision at least 6 months before the date of vesting of the plan.
  • LIC offers a cooling-off period of 15 days in which the investor may opt to return the premium if they are not satisfied with the plan.
  • Policyholders cannot take a loan against the plan.
