Benefits of LIC Nivesh Plus Plan

LIC Nivesh Plus Plan ensures two kinds of benefits to its policyholders.  They are as follows:

1. Death Benefit

   In the event of the death of a policyholder, before the risk commencement begins, he will receive an amount that is the same as the Unit Fund Value.

   In the event of the death of a policyholder after the date of risk commencement, he will receive an amount that is higher than either the Basic Sum Assured or Unit Fund Value.

2. Maturity Benefit

   In the event that the policyholder survives to the date of maturity of the policy, a sum equal to the Unit Fund Value will be payable to him.

3. Guaranteed Additions

   A fixed % of the Single Premium amount paid keeps getting added to the Policy Unit Fund once the LIC Nivesh Plus Policy has completed a specific number of years.  They are as follows:

   • At the end of 6 years – 3%
   • At the end of 10 years – 4%
   • At the end of 15 years – 5%
   • At the end of 20 years – 6%
   • At the end of 25 years – 7%

Optional Benefits

1. Rider Benefit

   Rider benefit can be obtained by a customer, provided the LIC Nivesh Plus Plan has an outstanding term of 5 years.  

2. Partial Withdrawals

   Partial withdrawals are allowed at any time after the fifth policy anniversary.  They are however subject to a number of factors decided by the corporation, for example, the age of the policyholder etc.

   Once the partial withdrawal has been carried out, then for the next two years, the Basic Sum Assured will be reduced on the basis of the sum that has been withdrawn.  Once the two year period is over, the Basic Sum will automatically be restored.

3. Switching

   The option to switch between four different types of funds is available to all holders of the LIC Nivesh Plus Policy during the term of the policy.  If a policyholder chooses to make a switch to a new fund then the entire Fund Value will be transferred to the new fund.

   Settlement Option

   The death benefit can be received in installments, using this option.  

   This plan also provides tax benefits on the premium amount paid.

In the event that a policyholder commits suicide within 12 months from the date of starting of the policy, the Unit Fund Value will be payable to his nominee or beneficiary, on the day that the corporation is informed of his death.  A death certificate is mandatory in such a case.  The LIC Nivesh Plus Policy will then be terminated and no claims will be taken up on the same.  

Any charges except the Fund Management Charges that have been charged to the policyholder after the date of death will be added back to the Fund Value.

Similarly, any Guaranteed Additions that might have been added after the date of death will then be subtracted from the Unit Fund.
