Death Benefit
LIC’s Saral Jeevan Bima gives a good amount of money to take care of your loved ones if something happens to you. This is called the death benefit. If you pass away while you have the plan 859, the person you chose (your nominee) will get this money, but there are some rules:
If you die within the first 45 days of getting the plan and it wasn’t because of an accident, LIC will give back all the money you paid for premiums (but not the taxes). But if it was because of an accident in those 45 days, they’ll pay the full death benefit. After 45 days, they’ll pay the death benefit no matter what caused your death.
If you’re paying premiums every year or for a set time, the death benefit is figured out in a special way. It’s either 10 times your yearly premium, 105% of all the premiums you’ve paid, or the exact amount LIC said they’d pay – whichever is highest. If you paid just one big premium at the start, it’s either 125% of that premium or the promised amount – again, whichever is more.
Remember, LIC SARAL JEEVAN BIMA is only meant for protection. You won’t get any money back at the end of the plan if you’re still alive.
Additional Details
If you paid just one premium or only for a set time and you cancel your policy early, you might get some money back. This is called the cancellation value. How much you get depends on when you cancel and what kind of plan no 859 you have.
If you stop paying your premiums and your policy lapses, you can start it again within 5 years from when you missed the first payment. To do this, you have to pay all the premiums you missed plus some interest that LIC will decide.
One thing to keep in mind is that you can’t take a loan against your LIC’s Saral Jeevan Bima policy.
Exclusions
- Suicide Clause: If you take your own life within a year of starting the plan, your nominee will get back 80% of what you paid in premiums (but not taxes). The policy will then end. It doesn’t matter if you were in your right mind or not when it happened.
