LIC Komal Jeevan Plan

LIC Komal Jeevan Plan- An Overview

LIC’s Komal Jeevan Plan offered by LIC of India is a child insurance plan that offers a guaranteed money-back facility. When your child turns 18 years, the insurer pays back the premiums periodically to the beneficiary every two years. The policy offers 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.

• Death of the child is covered only after completing 2 policy years or after the child turns 18, whichever is later.

• The policy can be surrendered after completing 3 years, following which a higher of the guaranteed surrender value or special surrender value is paid to the insured.
