As per the policy, LIC starts giving Survival Benefit from the age of 40. When my policy completes the accumulation period before my 40 years of age. Would there be a benefit for the period of the age at the accumulation period and age of 40 years?
Please give your age, and term of the plan to give a proper explanation for your query.
Pretty clear information.
Thank You.
Dear Sir,
This is wonderful piece of hard-work and well articulated one available in internet. Thanks much.
I have few generic queries, my details as below
Sum Assured = 15 lakhs
Term = 20 years
Payment made = 10 years ( 2010 to till 2019 – 10 years)
1. Do i able to change the term from 20 years to 15 years and continue to complete the tenor to enjoy revised (?) full benefits
i.e. 15,000,00 sum assured might be revised to 11 lakhs apx based on 15 years * 75000 instead of 20 years payment and so do my survival benefit
2. Do we have any option to take out the entire money during end of premium paying term along with bonus instead of going for survival benefit. if so what portion of it we will get it.
Thanks.
You can reduce the term of the plan to 15 years but you will have to pay all the premium difference if any with the interest there off to change the term. Reducing sum assured and term simultaneously will not be possible due to technical difficulties.
The only way to get the entire money back is by surrendering the policy. But that is not recommended as it can bring in a loss. Just think of the guaranteed, tax-free survival benefits available for life long in the current scenario of dwindling interest rates.
Thanks a lot sir.
I will check the possibility of reducing the term of the plan to 15 years as per the suggestion and stick to the survival benefits instead of surrendering the policy.
Thank you very much for the clear information…!!!

You cannot get the sum assured of the Jeevan Tarang policy normally after the maturity as the plan is designed to get the sum assured and loyalty addition at the time of death of the policyholder. But you can surrender the policy, but it will be a loss. You can get the surrender value from the nearest LIC branch office.

Jeevan Tarang is an excellent policy that guarantees 5.5 % of sum assured for life, apart from the bonus amount paid after the premium paying term. Additional loyalty addition eligibility is also there during life long annuity period. You may be knowing that interest rates are coming down year after year and nobody is willing to provide any guaranteed benefits in the current scenario. It is not wise to surrender such a policy, especially in this COVID period.
If you still want to surrender the policy you can get the value from the nearest LIC branch office. But that is not advisable.

Hello Mr. Anish,
I must appreciate all your hard-work and the wonderful explanation you have brought for us for our Jeevan Tarang Policy. So far I haven’t find any place where can we get such a crisp clarity on this Policy. Please keep up the good work. Thank you.
Thank you for your great words of appreciation.
Is it possible to close this after completion of its tenure(say 20 yrs) and get the money in lump sum along with vested bonus accumulated ?
For that, you will have to surrender the policy and you will be entitled to surrender value only. That can bring in a loss for you as a portion of the sum assured will get deducted while surrendering.

Hi Sir,
I have jeevan tarang policy in which yearly premium is rs.10044, premium paying term is of 20 years. The policy was started when I was 18 years old. My question is how much amount will get at the end of 20 years (primium paying term) and after that with 5.5% rate how much amount will I get on yearly basis? And at the end of 100 years?
On the 20 th year approximately you can get the sum assured as per the current bonus rates. It seems your policy is for 2 lakh sum assured and you will receive 11000 per year as survival benefits.
Hi anish,
I had jeevan tarang policy started in 2013 for sum assured of 5 lakh for 20 years paying. Which is best option if I surrender policy today or I surrender it after paying term.
To be frank the best option is not to surrender the policy as it is like an ‘Akshaya Pathra’ Providing guaranteed life-long income benefits at 5.5% and Life long insurance coverage (which includes huge loyalty additions) free of cost. You may be aware that bank rates are dwindling at fast pace.
Hi Anish,
Thank you for explaining the policy in details, many of my doubts clarified after going through this.
Regarding Bonus (after the Premium payment term) it is 47,48,49 rupees per 1000/- for 10,15,20 years respectively. Is it going to be constant or can vary ? If it is a Variable how can i get to know the present value.
The bonus rates can vary in the future depending on the experiences of the corporation. Current rates are 43, 44, and 45 respectively as per the latest declared rates of 2020. It was after several years the rates were changed by LIC in the current year.
I have a policy Jeevan tarang, here are the details

Please use the calculator provided in the post itself to understand the benefits of the plan. If you have any difficulty please let me know.
Even After completing 20 yrs , it will be consider as surrender ? Please suggest.
Jeevan Tarang is designed in a special way. You will be entitled for life long guaranteed income @ 5.5% per annum and life long insurance coverage. It really attractive as even the fixed deposit interest is below that. Well if you do not want this facility you will have to surrender it.
Sir I have a doubt about jeevan tarang plan, what will happen if not paid premiums complete term we stopped paying premium before 3years of the term.
Minimum three years premium has to be paid to get paid up status for the policy. If the policy does not have paid-up status nothing will be payable. and policy will be completely null and void.
Hi, Good day. I have Jeevan Tarang policy of 3 Lakhs and getting accumulation period (15 years) completing by end of this year. Can you please let me know how much amount will I get? with and without surrendering? Also, can you please let me know when I can expect the amount
Please use the calculator provided in the post itself to understand the indicative maturity amount.
hi, i took jeevan tarang policy in 2011 for 750000/ paid regular monthly premiums, pl send me calculations, my agent said that time that intrest rate will be 7.5 percent . what is bonus now paid . pl get me calculations.
you can use the calculator provided in the post itself to get an indicative maturity amount figure. Well, LIC bonus rates are not declared in % values. It is declared as the bonus per 1000 sum assured per year. The latest bonus rates are 43, 44, and 45 per 1000 sum assured for 10, 15, and 20 years term respectively.
Hello Anish,
I opted plan 178 . period not aware, but yearly premium 59064 since 2013. I am not getting clear idea what is maturity amount in hand. Also receipt says plan is 178, term is 70. What is meaning ??? Term is max 20 years only na ? That way this figure 70 am not able to relate anywhere…
Plan 178 or Jeevan Tharang is a special type of plan where only the total bonus accrued in the policy account shall become payable after the completion of the premium paying term. Thereafter throughout life or till 100 years of age 5.5% of the sum assured shall become payable. Life-long coverage also will be available. As survival benefit and lifelong coverage are available till 100 years of age, the term is shown as 70 years. It seems you have taken the policy at the age of 30 years of age.
dear sir,
i took policy in 2013 for 1000000 for 20 years.
please let me know that can i increase the policy amount to 3000000.
Increasing the risk coverage is not possible in a policy contract. The only thing possible is to take a new policy for the required additional sum assured. Please remember to give the details of the old policy while purchasing the new policy.
My last premium paid date is 15.12.2022. Sum insured is Rs. 1 Lakh. If I surrender my jeevan tarang policy after 15.12.2022, how much amount shall I get?
Please contact the nearest LIC branch office for surrender value. By the way, Jeevan Tharang is offering better life-long return than Fixed deposits.
