LIC’s SIIP is an individual life insurance plan that falls into the category of Unit Linked, Non-Participating, and Regular Premium policies. This plan provides combined insurance and investment coverage for the entire policy term.
You can purchase this plan both offline through an intermediary and online by visiting www.licindia.in.
This plan allows you to invest your premiums in one of four available types of investment funds. Each premium payment, after deducting the Premium Allocation Charge, will be used to purchase units in the chosen Fund. The value of these units can fluctuate based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) and is subject to various associated charges.
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
Refund of Mortality Charges
If the Life Assured survives until the maturity date, and all due premiums under the policy have been paid, an amount equal to the total mortality charges deducted for the life insurance cover will be paid along with the Maturity Benefit. These charges do not include any additional amount due to underwriting decisions or taxes on the mortality charges.
Please note that the refund of mortality charges will not be paid in the case of a surrendered or discontinued policy.
