LIC has been introducing several novel concepts in the Indian insurance space. LIC Bima Bachat is one such policy that offers several benefits to its policyholders on death, maturity, and at specific durations of the policy. The following sections discuss the LIC Bima Bachat policy in detail.
Read moreLIC Bima Bachat Policy is a non-linked, participating policy for which premiums are paid in a lump sum. This money-back insurance scheme offers life cover as well as opportunities to save.
With this plan, you receive survival benefits along with a guaranteed sum assured on death and maturity of the policy.Â
The benefits offered by LIC Bima Bachat Policy are manifold. Some of the important ones are detailed below:-Â
Death Benefit - The nominees assigned by the life assured are entitled to the sum assured on death while the policy is still in force. If death occurs in the first five years of the policy, the death benefit equivalent to the sum assured is paid. However, if death occurs after five years, the sum assured on death is paid along with loyalty additions.
The sum assured is higher than 1.25 times the single premium amount or basic sum assured.
Survival Benefits - LIC Bima Bachat survival benefit is also paid to the policyholder by the insurer. If the life assured survives specific policy years, (s)he is entitled to receive a fixed percentage of the sum assured on each of those years. The policy years are:
15% at the end of the 3rd and 6th year of the policy, on choosing a policy term of 9 years.Â
15% at the end of the 3rd, 6th, and 9th year of the policy, on choosing a policy term of 12 years.

Maturity Benefits - If the life assured survives the policy term, (s)he is entitled to the sum assured on maturity with loyalty additions. The amount receivable is equal to the single premium amount paid at the time of policy inception.Â
Loyalty Additions - LIC Bima Bachat is a participating policy which means that policyholders can enjoy a percentage of the profits earned by the company. However, loyalty additions are non-guaranteed benefits and are subject to changes based on the annual financial valuation of the company.Â

LIC’s Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider - In case the life assured succumbs to death as a result of an accident, (s)he is entitled to receive the rider sum assured in a lump sum.Â
Alternatively, if the life assured suffers from any kind of disability due to an accident, (s)he is eligible to receive the rider sum assured in monthly installments spread across 10 years.Â
LIC’s New Term Assurance Rider - If the life assured opts for this rider, (s)he is entitled to receive an amount equal to that assured under the rider on the death of the policyholder during the policy term. This amount is in addition to the death benefit amount discussed above.
Settlement Option - The settlement option under LIC’s New Bima Bachat policy offers an option to receive the maturity benefits in installments. This feature helps policyholders ensure a stream of regular income across the years.Â
The installments are made throughout 5, 10, or 15 years, as chosen by you. The following conditions ply if you choose to avail of this option:
