How to calculate LIC Jeevan Saral Surrender Value After 10 Years?
The LIC Jeevan Saral surrender value after 10 years calculator uses the following formula to calculate the surrender value of the policy -
-
Guaranteed Surrender Value
If you have paid premiums for 3 years, you will get a guaranteed surrender value of 30% of the total premiums paid minus the 1st year’s premium and that of other riders. If you have been paying premiums for 10 years or more, LIC declares a guaranteed surrender value factor. In this case, guaranteed surrender value will be equal to (total premium paid multiplied by the
guaranteed surrender value factor) plus (bonus multiplied by surrender value factor for
bonus).
-
Special Surrender Value
For LIC policies, the special surrender value is equal to (Original sum assured multiplied by (number of premiums paid / number of premium payable) + total bonus received) * surrender value factor.
In the case of LIC Jeevan Saral, the special surrender value depends on the reduced maturity sum assured. The maturity sum assured reduces as per the number of premiums paid. The LIC Jeevan Saral surrender value after 10 years calculator uses the following criteria to estimate the special surrender value -
(a) On paying premiums for less than 4 years, 80% of the reduced maturity sum assured is paid to you.
(b) On paying premiums premiums for more than 4 years but less than 5 years, 90% of the reduced maturity sum assured is paid to you.
(c) On paying premiums premiums for more than 5 years, 100% of the reduced maturity sum assured is paid to you.
Based on how many premiums you have paid so far, all you have to do is insert the numbers in the formula above. If the guaranteed surrender value comes out to be higher, you will be paid the same and the life cover shall end immediately. If the special surrender value amounts higher, LIC will pay you this amount instead.
