Jeevan Labh – Maturity Benefits.
Premium vs Maturity benefit of Jeevan Labh plan
Premium of Jeevan labh plan is considerably lower compared to the sum assured of the plan. A comparison of total premium paid vs maturity benefit is provided below.
Maturity benefit of LIC Jeevan Labh policy in various situations are explained here.
Fully paid policies
On Completion of the policy term, Sum Assured along with vested bonus + Final Addition Bonus (if any) shall become payable provided all the premiums for premium paying term have been paid fully.
Premium has been paid for less than three years
For policies where at least 3 full year premiums are not paid, nothing will become payable as maturity benefit.
In other words, a lapsed Policy should have acquired paid-up status by paying at least 3 full years premium to become eligible for maturity benefit.
Lapsed policies but premium paid for more than 3 years
Such policies are called paid up policies and shall be eligible for reduced benefits based on the paid up value of the policy. Paid up value can be calculated using the formula given below.
Paid Up Value = Sum Assured * Number of premiums paid / No of premiums payable
Example:-
- Sum Assured = 10,00,000
- Term /PPT = 25/16 (Term 25 Yrs and Premium payment 16 Yrs)
- Premium Paid= 4.5 Years
- Paid up value = 10,00,000*4.5/16
- = 2,81,250
He will be eligible for a maturity benefit which includes the paid up value of 2,81,250 and accrued bonus at the time of maturity.
Jeevan labh – Risk Coverage.
Insurance benefits of Jeevan Labh will commence immediately on starting premium payment of the policy. Death coverage available in the policy is the sum of “Sum Assured on death” and the “Accrued Bonus”.
Sum assured on death is the higher of
- Basic Sum Assured
- 10 times the annualized premium
- 105 % of all the premiums paid as on date of death.
Jeevan Labh – Rider benefits
The following riders are available under the Jeevan Labh plan.
Accidental death and disability rider (AD &D)
AD & D rider can be opted at the time of purchase or at any policy anniversary thereafter, provided, the outstanding premium paying term is at least 5 Years. As this rider is not available for a minor he can add this rider after attaining 18 years of age. Maximum sum assured under accident rider shall be one crore or Sum Assured of the policy whichever is lower.
Term Assurance Rider
Term rider provides, “add-on coverage” over and above the sum assured of the policy, equal to the opted term rider sum assured. Maximum Term rider sum assured shall be less than 25 lakhs or sum assured, whichever is lower.
Critical Illness Rider (CIR)
On opting CIR rider, the policyholder gets a coverage equal to CIR Sum Assured for fifteen pre-specified critical illnesses. Read complete details of LIC’s Critical illness Rider with Critical Illness Rider (CIR) calculator.
Income Tax implications – Jeevan labh
Jeevan Labh plan as all other endowment plans follows E-E-E model as far as income tax implication is concerned.
- Premium paid – The premiums paid shall be exempted from income tax under section 80C of Income Tax Act.
- Maturity Amount – Maturity amount is exempted from income tax u/s 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act.
- Death Claim – Death Claim amount received by the nominee shall be exempted from income tax u/s 10(10D) of IT Act.
Surrender of Jeevan Labh policy
The policy can be surrendered any time before maturity provided at least three full-year premiums have been paid and the policy has acquired a paid up value. It is advisable to consider the following facts before surrendering a policy.
- You are losing valuable insurance coverage and that too taken at a lower premium as the policy was started several years ago.
- Surrendering of Jeevan Labh plan can bring in a loss as the surrender value can be lower, especially if the premium paid period is for a shorter period.
- If your policy has lapsed and you are unable to revive your policy, a better option is to keep the policy as paid up and get the maturity amount after the end of the term. You will have insurance cover based on the paid up value and full accrued bonus along with paid-up value of the policy can be availed at the time of maturity.

The table provided here will help you to get a clear idea on the insurance coverage, surrender value, expected loan, Income tax benefit etc. available on various years.
Who can go for a LIC Jeevan Labh Plan
As the premium paying term is lower than the term of the policy, this plan is mainly advisable to people with higher income in the initial period. People with uncertainty in continued income for a long period and people who do not want to continue the premium for long period can also go for this plan.
It is generally suitable for Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) as the premium will not be a burden even if they are returning home after a period of time. The longer term of the policy will provide the policyholder with insurance for a longer period which is always desirable.
And further to add, the longer term policy will naturally fetch higher returns at the time of maturity. This plan can also be used to meet the children’s marriage or educational expenses if the policyholder has young children.

Hi Anish,
I was checking similar kind of options in private banks also, so I was looking into Future perfect policy from ICICI bank.
Can you please suggest us to take Jeevan labh or Future perfect ? so that it would help us in selecting a good policy.

ravikanth

Dear Sir
Age 50
Sum inssured 200000
Term 16yrs-10yrs
What should be the premium per month for JEEVAN LABH
Premium per month applicable for the information given is Rs.1608 in the first year and Rs.1574 thereafter. You can use this calculator.
Dear sir,
My father age is 48 he is a farmer ..I want to take a policy monthly 2000 so please tell the a) maturity amount b) death claims c) any medical test is required? For this policy
You have not mentioned the term of the plan but if it is a 16-year plan with a premium paying term 10 years, you can take 250000 SA plan (with Rs.2000 premium per month). For that, no medical report is needed if the age proof is standard.
Please,tell me how can I know what is the lic Jeevan Labh loan interest calculator which will be paid after 6 months
The loan interest applicable shall be at the rate of 9.5% per annum. So if you are taking 1,00,000 loan the interest rate will be 9500 Per year but the interest is collected in the half-yearly mode so Rs 4750 will become payable every six months.
Hello Sir, Im an NRI working in one of the GCC countries. I would like to take a Jeevan Labh policy. but my concern is probable tax burden on the maturity amount at the end of the term. if I would like to take a sum assured of 15 lakhs for 21(16),how much would be my total maturity amount and how much I have to pay tax in India and is this can be transferred to my NRE account in India? im only planning to remit my premium through NRE account. Pls advise me..
many thanks in advance.
The maturity amount of the Jeevan Labh policy is tax-free under section 10(10D) of the income tax act. So no tax is payable on maturity. Please use the calculator provided in the post itself to get the indicative maturity amount of the plan. The maturity amount of the scheme can be credited to the NRI account provided all the premium was paid from the NRI account and you have a proof for that.
Hi, I think the calculator has a little discrepancy. My Policy Maturity Term is 21 years and Sum Assured is 5,00,000. So my Bonus on the maturity should be (5,00,000)/1000 * 47 * 21 = 4,93,500. But the calculator shows 4,62,000. Please clarify
LIC has revised the bonus rates of the plan. Already added bonuses will remain attached to the policy but the calculation shows the revised rates. Please check this article for more details.
Sir, any suggestions for endowment plans..
Aim = Insurance plus Savings ( no goal as such)
Wife, 25 yrs ( no medical history)
Upper ceiling for premium 35-40k annually
My parents have jeevan shree 112 ( very lucrative returns)
I have new jeevan anand
Jeevan Labh is a good plan if you are looking for a limited premium payment. All endowment plans including Jeevan Anand and Jeevan Lakshay can be considered.
Hello Sir,
I have bought this policy in 2018 and was using your calculator for returns.
FAB is clear to me. (450 per 1000 of SA)
However I am a little confused for the BONUS component for this policy (836).
Is it [Sum Assured/1000 * 50] (as per LIC bonus table) or [Premium Paid * 25] as per your calculator.
Difference of calculation is 31.25L vs 27.60L (for bonus component)
My Sum Assured is 25L and premium is 110408.
Bonus rate is declared as the rates per 1000 sum assured and this value is applicable for one year.
So if the bonus rate is Rs 50 per 1000 and sum assured is 2500000,
Bonus for one year will be 25,00,000*50/1000
And if the term of the plan is 25 years, the expected bonus rate is 25,00,000*50*25/1000
I think it is clear.
