LIC’s New Children’s Money Back Benefits
Death Benefit
If the policyholder passes away during the active policy term with all premiums paid:
- If the death occurs before the risk commencement date, the beneficiary receives the total premiums paid (excluding taxes and extra/rider premiums).
- If the death occurs after the risk commencement date, the beneficiary receives the Death Benefit, which includes the “Sum Assured on Death,” vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses, and any Final Additional Bonus. The “Sum Assured on Death” is the higher of the Basic Sum Assured and seven times the annualized premium. The Death Benefit will be at least 105% of the total premiums paid, not including taxes, extra premiums, or rider premiums.
Survival Benefit
If the Life Assured is still alive on each policy anniversary that aligns with or immediately follows reaching the ages of 18, 20, and 22, they will receive a payment of 20% of the Basic Sum Assured on each of these occasions, provided that the policy is active.
Maturity Benefit
If the Life Assured remains alive throughout the policy term, and the policy is active, they will receive the “Sum Assured on Maturity” along with any vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses and a Final Additional Bonus, if applicable. The “Sum Assured on Maturity” is equivalent to 40% of the Basic Sum Assured.
Participation in Profits
The policy will share in the profits of the Corporation and will be eligible to receive Simple Reversionary Bonuses based on the Corporation’s experience, provided that the policy is in force.
A Final Additional Bonus may also be granted under the policy in the year when a claim arises due to either death or maturity. However, Final Additional Bonus is not applicable to paid-up policies.
The actual distribution of the surplus from the actuarial assessment to policyholders will be determined and approved by the Central Government in accordance with the provisions outlined in the LIC Act of 1956.
