Benefits and Features of  LIC’s Jeevan Tarang Policy (Table no. 178) 

Jeevan Tarang Policy (Table no. 178) is a whole Life Plan with Bonus facility offered by Life Insurance Corporation , one of India’s most trusted insurers. Under this innovative plan, policyholders are required to pay the premiums for a pre-determined Accumulation Period, which is usually for a span of 10, 15 or 20 years.

After the end of the Accumulation Period, the vested Bonus is paid out in a Lump sum and the policy continues. Every year, as soon as the Accumulation Period ends, 5 and ½ % of the Sum Assured is paid as Survival Benefit till the Life Insured turns 100 year. If the policyholder survives till 100 years, then the entire Sum Assured + Loyalty Bonus is paid out and the policy terminates.

However, if the Life Insured dies within the accumulation period, then the Sum Assured + vested Bonus is paid out and the policy is terminated. If the Life Insured dies after the accumulation period but before 100 years of age, then the Sum Assured + Loyalty Addition is paid and the policy is terminated.
