LIC Jeevan Umang (T-845) – All details with calculators and examples
LIC’s Jeevan Umang (T-845) – All details with premium, maturity and benefit calculators with examples. LIC Jeevan Umang (T-845) is a versatile, ‘with profit whole life plan’ which has several benefits of erstwhile popular plan Jeevan Tharang (T 178). Off late, this plan has gained immense popularity owing to its innovative benefit pattern. The advantage of the Jeevan Umang plan is that it offers a life long, guaranteed, pension/annuity and increasing insurance cover to the policyholder and that too without any tax liability on pension amount.
LIC has withdrawn Jeevan Umang with plan number 845 with effect from 31/01/2020 and has reintroduced it as Jeevan Umang (Plan 945). Read complete details of Jeevan Umang (plan 945).
In the current economic scenario, bank interest rates are getting reduced day by day and nobody is willing to offer any guaranteed interest rates for long periods. On the other hand, LIC has taken a bold step by offering guaranteed annual survival benefits at the rate of 8% of Sum Assured, after the premium paying term, till 100 years of age.
Insurance coverage and surrender value of the plan increases steadily after the premium paying term, providing high insurance coverage and liquidity at a higher age. Even though LIC would like to keep the maturity at 100 years of age, the policyholder can surrender the plan earlier if he requires money earlier.
