They have come up with several affordable plans and policies covering a wide range of insurance products, like, term insurance, endowment plans, annuity plans, investment plans, and even child savings and retirement plans.

Key Exclusions of Micro Bachat Plan by LIC India
In the event that a policyholder should commit suicide, the LIC Micro Bachat Planwill immediately be considered void. The following conditions will be taken into consideration before the claims are furbished.
Apart from these two, no other claims will be entertained by the Corporation.
A1. Yes, there is a grace period that is applicable from the first unpaid premium due date. It consists of a period of 30 days. The policy will still be in force in this period with the risk commencement covered. If the premium remains unpaid before the end of the grace period, the policy will automatically lapse. This also applies to premiums for riders.
A2.If premiums have been paid for one full policy year, the policyholder can surrender the policy. A surrender value will be payable to the customer, which will be higher than Guaranteed Surrender Value or Special Surrender Value. One can know the Special Surrender Value from the LIC office. It is reviewed from time to time, with the prior approval of the IRDAI.
A3. Auto cover is a special feature that a policyholder can avail of under the policy. This period starts from the date of the first unpaid premium and includes the grace period. It can be used by a policyholder to gain more time in order to pay the next premium. The term of the auto cover is as stated below:
A4.A policy that has lapsed may be revived within a period of 5 years from the date of the first unpaid premium and before the maturity date. The revival of the policy will be effective as soon as all undue premiums along with interest are paid. The revival of the rider benefits will be taken into account along with the revival of the base policy.
A5.Once the policy has completed three full years, and all the premiums have been paid up, the policyholder is eligible to apply for a loan under the policy. However, this is subject to change by the Corporation.
The maximum loan as a percentage of surrender value is as stated below:
For policies that are in force – up to 70%
For policies that are paid up – up to 60%
The rate of interest on the loan is decided by the Corporation and also subject to change from time to time. If there is any outstanding loan amount, it will be recovered from the proceeds of the claim.
A6. If the policyholder is unsatisfied with the terms and conditions of the policy, he may return the policy to the Corporation within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of the policy. He must state his reasons for doing the same. The Corporation will then cancel the policy and return the premium after a few deductions, e.g., stamp duty charges, expenses incurred during medical examinations, etc.
