LIC’s SIIP Plan Benefits
Death Benefit
Before Risk Commencement Date: Unit Fund Value is paid.
After Risk Commencement Date: The higher of Basic Sum Assured minus recent Partial Withdrawals, Unit Fund Value, or 105% of total premiums paid (adjusted for recent Partial Withdrawals) is paid.
Charges collected after death are refunded along with the death benefit. Any added Guaranteed Additions (in case of delayed death claim intimation) are deducted from the Unit Fund.
The death benefit can be received as a lump sum or in installments if the Settlement Option is chosen, as per the preference of the Policyholder/Life Assured.
Maturity Benefit
