LIC’s Tech-Term (Plan 854) – Death Benefit
The death benefit is the ‘Sum Assured on Death’ which becomes payable in case of death claims, provided, the death occurs before the maturity date and the policy is in force at the time of death.
For Regular premium and limited premium policies
Sum Assured on death shall be the highest of
- 7 times of annualized premium; or
- 105% of all premiums paid as on date of death; or
- Absolute amount assured to be paid on death.
For Single premium policy,
Sum assured on death shall be the higher of
- 125% of the
single premium. - Absolute amount assured to be paid on death.
(All rider premiums and extra premiums will be excluded for arriving at the premium paid)
Level Sum Assured vs Increasing Sum Assured
Two options are available under this plan to chose ‘Sum Assured at Death.’
Option 1: Level Sum Assured
Absolute amount assured to be paid on death shall be an amount equal to Basic Sum Assured which remains the same throughout the policy term.
Option 2: Increasing sum assured
In case of Increasing Sum Assured, the absolute amount assured to be paid shall remain equal to Basic Sum Assured, till the completion of the fifth policy year. Thereafter it increases by ‘10% of basic sum assured’ each year from the sixth policy year till the fifteenth policy year. From sixteenth policy year on-wards the ‘absolute amount assured to be paid on death’ shall remain fixed at twice the basic sum assured.
Lets us consider an example of a one crore sum assured policy with a 20-year term. The risk coverage will be as shown below.

Accident Benefit Rider
Accident Benefit Rider shall be available under Regular and Limited Premium Payment policies only. You can opt this rider at the time of inception or any time later within the premium paying period.
If this benefit is opted for and if the life assured is involved in an accident, leading to death and such incident occurs within 180 days from the date of the accident, then an additional amount equal to the Accident Benefit Sum Assured shall become payable. Maximum accident benefit sum assured shall be One Crore inclusive of all existing policies (excluding Jeevan Shiromani plan where additional one crore benefit shall be available).
Option to take Death Benefit in Instalments.
The death benefit can be received in installments over the chosen period of 5 or 10 or 15 years, instead of the lump-sum amount if required. This option can be exercised by the life assured during his lifetime also. The amount opted by the life assured can be either in absolute value or as a percentage of the total claim proceeds payable.
The interest rates applicable for arriving at the installment payments under this option shall be as fixed by the corporation from time to time.
Premium Calculator – LIC’s Tech-Term (Plan 855)
Minimum installment premium for regular/increasing sum assured shall be Rs. 3000. If the installment premium is below 3000 make modifications to bring it above 3000 either by increasing sum assured or term.

Hello sir,
Today I have enquired about lic tech term plan in lic Chennai divisional office .I met Assistant branch manager and asked him about sum assured details. He suggested me to take offline plan(Jeevan Amar). I can’t understand why the senior officials also suggesting to take online plan instead of online plan. Both plans are comes under the roof of LIC
Kindly clarify
There is no difference is terms of claim settlement for online as well as offline plans. Only difference is that in offline plans, an agent will there to service the policy.. and in online mode you or your family members will have to take care of the servicing aspects including claim settlement. But in LIC, claim settlement is not difficult.
I can’t understand why the senior officials in lic also recommending offline plan (Jeevan Amar). They are not giving single details about tech term plan. Both products comes under lic only. Is there any difference between at the time of claim with online and offline plan.
Hello sir,
Thank you for your clarification.

I also opted for the Lump sum amount in the Death benefit, but in the Proposal form, it was left blank mentioning that the Installment amount would be received as 15 years with Full percentage and Monthly Option. I didnot click it but how come it takes without my consent?
Income proof is a must for the tech term plan. You will have to submit documents showing income proof at the time of the underwriting of the plan. Earlier this plan was allowed only for taxpayers but now up to 50 lakh sum assured other income proofs are also accepted. The death amount is normally provided as a single lumpsum amount. It will be provided as installments if you specifically request for it.

R/Sir,
applied for tech term plan in may 2020. received mail today as “ACCEPT WITH HEALTH EXTRA CLASS III(THREE) CLAUSE 53 UNDER P/T 854-40 FOR SUM ASSURED OF 100L WITH NON SMOKER RATES/OPTION I SUBJECT TO CONSENT (REINSURANCE REQD)
EXTRA HAS BEEN IMPOSED IN VIEW OF FINDINGS IN HBAIC COUNT.”
this class iii clause 53 etc not understood.
can you elaborate please.
As HBA1C test has found to be beyond the normal rate, LIC has decided to add a small extra premium to meet the additional risk involved. LIC will let you know the revised premium rates..
Dear sir my age 34 years non smoker .I want 75 lakh rs term plan for 40 years. Can I buy this without any medical.
With out medical examination it is not possible… You will have to undergo medical examination as per the direction of LIC.
i want to add MWPA in my tech term policy but it needs to be done before issue of policy . How can it be done. Please guide
Mention in the purpose column that it has to be completed as mwpa policy… And inform the officials in writing also..
If I am a 47 year old tax payer and would like to take a 1 crore policy…I have a history of diabetes in the family… what if when I do the medical test it shows I have diabetes… could I still get covered.
Or would there be some exclusions made to the police
And in the current covid senario can the medical test be done at home from the recognised LIC pathology lab
The test has to be done at a recognised lab itself. You have to be physically available at the lab to do the tests. Even if Your family have a history of diabetics you need not have it and it can be verified only through hba1c and other tests. Even if you have diabetics LIC will decide on whether the policy can be given or not based on the degree of diabetics. LIC can charge extra premium and give you the policy also. All these decisions will depend on the decision of the underwriting department of LIC.
Please provide premium calculator for 42 years with history of diabetes more than 3 years
There is no premium calculator for having diabetes history. Extra premium may be charged by LIC based on the condition after reviewing medical reports.
Can we add critical illness rider with lici term plan 854
Critical Illness rider is not available in LIC Tech term plan 854.
Hello Sir,
I am bit confused on Death benefits, pls explain-
For Regular premium and Limited premium payment policy, Sum Assured on Death is defined as the highest of:
.7 times of annualised premium; or
• 105% of all the premiums paid as on the date of death; or
• Absolute amount assured to be paid on death
Practically it is the sum assured of the policy. Other conditions will not become applicable for this plan.
Hello sir,
After going through some comments ,I found that you are doing a very noble work .
Even I have come for little clarification . My mother age is 46 ( non- smoker) was diagnosed with cancer and have been cured for the same and it has been 3 years now . Can I get tech term plan . Please guide me through this .
Thank you
The basic eligibility conditions for tech term plan include income and health. First she should have ascertained income. If that is ok, she can apply and LIC will decide on her actual health conditions after reviewing the data of medical examinations on the eligibility for the plan.
Hi can i enquire about HDFC tech term plan over here
You can ask queries and if I can answer it I shall do it. But it is advisable to query at HDFC it self.
HDFC is offering a combination of two plans together term plan and guaranteed return plan.. to be precise.. for 50 lakh sum assured a 33 year old has to pay Rs. 22,080/- for 10 years(limited premium paying term) Term is 40 years.. At the end of 40 years the guaranteed return you get is Rs. 2,19,940/- whereas the intial coverage starts at Rs.50,52,116/- at the term of 40 years the coverage is at Rs. 52,19,940/-. is it advisable to go for this plan.. please advise
This is actually a term plan with a return of premium. But 2,19,940 you get after a period of 40 years is not worth as the premium of Rs. 220800 is remaining with HDFC for a period of 30 Years. You can take a term plan alone with one forth the premium you are paying. So I think it is better to go for a stand alone term plan.
Sir, for LIC tech term for SA.50 lacs,Term- 40 years, the premium is Rs. 9,794/- and you end up paying Rs.3,91,760/- in total with no returns..
If a claim occurs LIC pays Rs. 50 lakh and that is what the plan is intended to. To protect the financial loss of your family in case of an unfortunate event.
Hi SIr,

Hi am a tax payer , 40 age am looking for tech term plan (8540 for 1 cr, can i have this policy without medical test

Hello Sir, what other types of DEATHS are NOT covered in tech term policy. As per the policy document, suicides and sexually transmitted diseases and accidents are not covered.
Is CANCER, COVID, Tumor’s etc covered?
Tech term policy covers accidental deaths. Only thing is that separate additional coverage(Double accident benefit) will not be available under the Tech term. All deaths arising due to diseases will be covered provided the death does not arise from a pre-existing disease.
Hello Sir, Once I buy the policy and if I lose my job and if my next source of income is not >3Lacs immediately, will my policy lapse?
No the income is considered only at the time of commencement of the policy. As long as the policy is in force, nothing will be asked. But if the policy lapses and if you approach LIC for revival of the policy, they can ask again your income proof. So keep the policy in live condition.
