LIC Jeevan Umang is a whole life assurance plan which offers a combination of income and protection to your family. The plan provides annual survival benefits after the completion of premium payment tenure. Also, a lump-sum payment is made at the time of maturity or following the demise of the policyholder during the policy term.
In addition, LIC Jeevan Umang also takes care of liquidity needs through loan facilities, unlike the LIC Saral Jeevan Bima policy.
The following are the benefits offered under LIC Jeevan Umang Plan
On the demise of the policyholder during the policy term, the sum assured on death along with a vested simple reversionary bonus and a final additional bonus is paid to the beneficiary of the policy.
Sum assured on death will be equal to the basic sum assured amount or 7 times the annualized premium, whichever is higher.
If the life assured survives the premium paying term, an annual Survival benefit equal to 8% of the Basic Sum Assured is paid till death or policy maturity (whichever comes earlier).
On survival of the life assured till the date of maturity, LIC is liable to pay the basic sum assured in lump sum plus bonuses.
LIC Jeevan Umang is a participating policy, unlike LIC Saral Jeevan Bima. This means that the policy participates in the profits of the company. This entitles policyholders to the simple reversionary bonus and the final additional bonus, payable along with the death or maturity benefit.
