What Is The LIC's Accident Benefit Rider?

The LIC Accidental Death Benefit Rider offered by LIC is designed to mitigate the financial aspect of accidental death, ensuring that the grieving family is well-taken care of despite the loss. It is an added benefit that offers extra financial compensation for the death of the life assured due to an accident. 

LIC defines an accident as a sudden, unforeseen, and involuntary event caused by external, visible, and violent means. Nominees of the deceased policyholder can claim the death benefit under the base insurance policy along with the rider sum assured under this accidental death benefit add-on if: 

  • The policyholder has an insurance policy in force to which this rider is attached, and 

  • Death due to the accident must have occurred within 180 days from the date of the accident.

  • Affordable Premiums: The premiums for the Accident Benefit Rider are usually quite affordable, making it an accessible option for policyholders looking to enhance their coverage without a significant increase in their overall insurance costs.
