How Does This Plan Work?

Under this LIC Aadhaar Shila plan an individual especially a female chooses a policy term between 10 and 20 years. She pays regular annual premium for the entire policy term. On maturity, she receives Sum Assured on Maturity along with Loyalty Additions (if payable). Sum Assured on Maturity is Basic Sum Assured.

During the first five years of the policy term, if her unfortunate death occurs then her nominee would only get Sum Assured on Death. But if she dies anytime after fifth year during the policy term then her nominee would get Loyalty additions( if payable) along with Sum Assured on death.

The Sum Assured on Death is a higher value chosen from:

• 10 times of annualised premium
• Sum Assured on Maturity
• 110% of Basic Sum Assured

Now let us understand this plan with the help of an example.

Consider,

Woman’s age: 35 years
Sum assured: Rs 3 lakh
Policy term: 20 years
Premium paying term: 20 years

 A 35 years old woman agrees to pay Rs10,498 as an annual premium for a sum assured of 3 lakhs under LIC Aadhaar Shila plan for a term of 20 years. After the policy term ends, at maturity she will receive Basic Sum assured (Rs 3 lakhs) + Loyalty additions payable at 8% (Rs 49,500) as Maturity Benefit.

In-case of an unfortunate death of the woman occurs in the 6^th year of the policy; her nominee will receive Sum assured on Death and loyalty additions (Rs7500).

The sum assured on death paid is a higher value from:

• 10 times of annualised premium (Rs 1,04,980)
• Sum Assured on Maturity (Rs 3 lakhs)
• 110% of Basic Sum Assured (Rs 3,30,000)

So, the total death benefit received is of Rs 3,37,500.

It is accrued at the end of every fifth year and paid to the nominee on death during policy term or to the insured on maturity
For this plan Loyalty rate is assumed to be calculated at Rs 11 per thousand of Sum Assured
For a sum assured of Rs 1,00,000  it would be 1.1%, then the amount of Rs 11,000 gets accumulated into the policy for that year.
