LIC Komal Jeevan Plan

Introduction to LIC Komal Jeevan Plan

The LIC Komal Jeevan policy offered specific portions from the assured amount on the occasion of the child turning 18, 20, 22, and 24 years of age. These are some of the most important years in a child’s education, often involving huge costs. The proceeds from the LIC Jeevan Komal Plan helped parents fund their kids’ tuition fees, accommodation, other interests, etc. during this period.

Moreover, the final amount on the life assured’s death comes with additional payments in the form of guaranteed and loyalty additions. This increases the total benefit amount from the original sum assured.
