Navjeevan Plan 858 -Eligibility of loyalty addition
Policies shall be eligible for declared loyalty additions at the time of exit by way of maturity or death, provided the premium has been paid for at least five policy years and five years have been completed at the time of exit.
Declared loyalty additions will be considered in the surrender value calculations of both single as well as limited premium payment plan also, provided, five full-year premium has been paid.
Navjeevan – How much returns you can expect?
As LIC of India has not declared Loyalty Addition rates we will not be able to accurately predict the maturity value of Nav Jeevan plan. But there is a way to reasonably predict the loyalty addition rates.
Benefit illustrations provided by LIC can throw light on the possible loyalty addition rates. LIC of India provides benefit illustrations at 8% gross investment returns scenario as per the IRDA instructions. If we analyze the benefit illustrations of LIC plans we can understand that most of the plans offer bonus rates higher than 8% scenario.

LIC’s Navjeevan Plan – 853 – What are the unique benefits
LIC’s Navjeevan plan has some unique features which can be useful at times. Let us have a detailed look.

Navjeevan is Income Tax Ready
Navjeevan Plan offers minimum insurance coverage of 10 times the premium paid. This is highly advantageous for getting income tax rebates under section 80C. Both Single, as well as regular premium plan, can be used for income tax purpose.
In order to get income tax rebate the premium paid in a financial year for a plan should not exceed 20% of the Sum Assured of it.
Navjeevan – only single premium plan with Accident and Disability rider
Normally single premium plans do not have Accident benefit Rider option. But LIC is offering this benefit for the first time with Navjeevan plan.
Incidentally, the limited premium payment option of Navjeevan also offers accident and disability rider. So by just paying accident benefit premium for 5 years accident coverage up to 18 years can be availed.
Navjeevan is Senior Citizen Ready – Maximum age at entry of 65 Years
LIC of India generally offers plans with age at entry is restricted up to the age of 50 or 55 years. Even the basic endowment assurance plan can be taken only up to the age of 55 Years. It is great to get minimum coverage of 7 times of the premium paid (Under Option 2) for a 65 age old person. On the other hand, a sixty-year person can avail a coverage up to 10 times the premium paid.
Navjeevan is Pension Ready with Tax-free Annuity
Settlement option available for maturity amount can make Navjeevan a pension plan to some extent. Maximum settlement period available is 15 years. When you opt for settlement option with the monthly mode the maturity amount shall be available as an annuity for a period up to 15 years.
As the settled maturity amount is tax-free under section 10 (10D ) of the income tax act, unlike other pension plans where the annuity is taxable, Navjeevan offers a tax-free pension.

Navjeevan Plan 853 – Riders and Options Available
Let us have a look at the riders and options available under the plan.
Accidental Death and Disability Rider
This rider can be opted only at the time of inception of the plan. If this rider is opted for, in case accidental death of the life assured, the accidental death sum assured is paid along with the death benefit as a single lump sum payment.
In case of accidental disability arising due to an accident (within 180 days from the date of accident) an amount equal to the accident benefit sum assured will be paid in monthly installment spread over 10 years and the future premiums for the rider as well as premiums for that portion of the sum assured shall be waived.
Settlement Option – Get maturity in instalments
Settlement option can be used to receive the maturity benefit or death benefit in installments over a chosen period of 5 or 10 or 15 years instead of lump sum amount. Whole maturity amount or a part of it can be used for settlement option. The interest rates applicable for arriving at the installment payments under settlement option shall be fixed by the corporation from time to time.
Settlement option is available in Yearly, Half-yearly, Quarterly or Monthly mode subject to the minimum settled amount of 50000, 25000, 15000 and 5000 for respective modes.
Commutation is available any time after the settlement option has been executed and this adds to the flexibility of the settlement option.

Excellent Anish…beacuse your clear explanation i have purchased this plan.thank you so much.
Hi Rajesh, Thank you for the nice words of appreciation.
If one died before first five year policy, will he get 10 times of Single premium + all premium paid
Hi Azim,
Yes, but loyalty additions won’t be available. Please use the updated calculator to understand more.
How much will be the loyalty additional for limited premium
And for 13 year term
As the loyalty addition rates are not declared, I cannot give you an accurate estimation of possible loyalty additions. But 8 % gross investment return scenario gives us a direction towards what could be the loyalty additions. I have implemented 8% scenario in the calculator. Please use the calculator again to get an answer to your query.
Hi Anish,
Kindly explain, If I plan for a Sum assured of 15Lac, My premium/month shows 19549*12=234588 for 1st year & from 2nd yr to 10th year, my premium is 19128*108 months = 2065824 , Total Premium payed by me = (234588 + 2065824 = 23,00,412/-) whereas I will be getting only sum assured = 15,00,000/- + LA. So what are my benefits for pay premium as my 10 yrs Premium itself is more than the sum assured.
In Nav Jeevan Plan premium payment is only for five years. Please check the calculation once again. Total premium and benefits are shown in the calculation itself. If you have any doubts please let me know.
Is there any medical requirement for a 64 year old prospect for table no. 853 for one lac S.A.?
Yes, Medical report is required for taking the policy. Medical requirements are Full medical report + ECG + Fasting Blood sugar (FBS).
Sum Assured – 15 Lac, Premium/ month(1 yr ) = 19,549*12 = 2,34,588/-, Premium/ month(2 yr to 5 yr = 48 Months ) = 19,128*48 = 9,18,144 /-. Total premium paid = 234588 + 918144 = 11,52, 732/-, After 10 yrs , I will get 16,05,000 Lac. But if this is done in FD for 5 yrs @ 7%P.A = 11,52, 732 * 7% = 80691/yr * 5 = 4,03,456, Total = 1152732 + 403456 = 15,56,188/-. So why should one go/choose this plan.
Dear Anand,
While comparing it with other investments we should consider the following facts.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
Please explain Abbot full medical reports? What is the requirement?
A full medical report is a single basic medical examination done by LIC approved doctor. First, this report has to be obtained and then other reports.
Can a person do under option 2 in lic’s plan 853?
What should be ideal for him to invest in regular premium paying mode in lic’s Navjivan policy ?
Dear sir, Maturity settlement option, you mentioned 5,10,15 yrs. Now 15 yrs option available or not
Yes, 15-year settlement option is available and Navjeevan is the only plan with 15-year settlement option. For all other plans, it is less than or equal to 10 years.
