LIC’s New Endowment Plan is a comprehensive life assurance solution that combines protection and savings benefits. It is a non-linked, participating, individual policy designed to provide financial security to the family of the policyholder in the event of their untimely passing, as well as a substantial lump sum payout to the policyholder upon maturity. Additionally, this plan offers the flexibility of a loan facility to address any immediate liquidity needs.
Benefits
Death Benefit:
In case of the policyholder’s demise during the policy term, the death benefit includes the ‘Sum Assured on Death,’ which is the higher of the Basic Sum Assured or 7 times the annualized premium, and it’s always at least 105% of total premiums paid, excluding taxes and additional premiums.
Maturity Benefit:
If the policyholder survives the policy term and the policy is in force, they will receive the ‘Sum Assured on Maturity,’ which includes the Basic Sum Assured, vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses, and any Final Additional Bonus, if applicable. The ‘Sum Assured on Maturity’ is equal to the Basic Sum Assured.
Participation in Profits:
The policy is eligible for Simple Reversionary Bonuses based on the corporation’s performance, as long as the policy is in force. A Final (Additional) Bonus may be granted when the policy matures or results in a claim due to death. However, Final Additional Bonuses are not applicable to paid-up policies.
