How Does This Plan Work?

Under LIC Jeevan Pragati an individual chooses a policy term between 12 and 20 years to pay regular premium for a Basic Sum Assured. During the policy term after every 5^th year, the Death Cover increases. After the policy term is over, at maturity he receives a lump sum comprising of Basic Sum Assured, along with vested Simple Reversionary bonuses and Final Additional bonus, if any, shall be payable

If in-case on death of the insured, during the policy term his nominee receives the Death benefit that is a lump sum amount comprising of accrued bonus and sum assured on death, which is an amount higher among;

• 10 times of the Annualized premium
• Absolute amount assured to be paid on death: Depending on the insured’s death year during the policy term, the increased death cover is paid;
• 100% of the Basic Sum Assured during first 5 policy years,
• 125% of the Basic Sum Assured during 6^th to 10^th policy years,
• 150% of the Basic Sum Assured during 11^th to 15^th policy years and
• 200% of the Basic Sum Assured during  16^th to 20^th policy years
