Jeevan Lakshya - 833
LIC's Jeevan Lakshya is a participating non-linked plan which offers a combination of protection and savings. This plan provides for Annual Income benefit that may help to fulfill the needs of the family, primarily for the benefit of children, in case of unfortunate death of Policyholder any time before maturity and a lump sum amount at the time of maturity irrespective of survival of the Policyholder. This plan also takes care of liquidity needs through its loan facility.
On death of the Life Assured before the stipulated Date of Maturity provided the policy is in full force by paying upto-date premiums, Death Benefit, defined as sum of “Sum Assured on Death”, vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses and Final Additional Bonus, if any, shall be payable.
Where “Sum Assured on Death” is defined as the sum of:
- Annual Income Benefit equal to 10% of the Basic Sum Assured, which shall be payable from the policy anniversary coinciding with or following the date of death of Life Assured, till the policy anniversary prior to the date of maturity.
- Assured Absolute Amount equal to 110% of Basic Sum Assured, which shall be payable on due date of maturity; and The vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses and Final Additional Bonus, if any, included in the Death Benefit, shall be payable on due date of maturity.
The Death Benefit defined above shall not be less than 105% of all the premiums paid as on date of death.

Maturity Benefit:
“Sum Assured on Maturity” equal to Basic Sum Assured, along with vested Simple Reversionary bonuses and Final Additional bonus, if any, shall be payable in lump sum on survival to the end of the policy term provided all due premiums have been paid.
Participation in Profits:

In case of death under a policy which is in full force, the policy shall continue to participate in profits upto the date of maturity and the entire vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses and Final Additional Bonus, if any, shall be payable on due date of maturity. Hence, the Simple Reversionary Bonus and Final Additional Bonus, if any, shall be payable under the policy on due date of maturity irrespective of survival of the Life Assured.
In case the premiums are not duly paid (except in case of death of the Life Assured under inforce policy), the policy shall cease to participate in future profits irrespective of whether or not the policy has acquired paid up value. However, the policy shall be considered as inforce on death during the grace period.

Revival of rider(s), if opted for, will be considered along with revival of the Basic Policy, and not in isolation.
Paid-up Value:
If after at least three full years’ premiums have been paid and any subsequent premiums be not duly paid, this policy shall not be wholly void, but shall subsist as a paid-up policy.The benefit payable in case of death under a paid-up policy called “Death Paid-up Sum Assured”, shall be equal to the sum of:
- [(Number of premiums paid/Total Number of premiums payable) x Absolute amount assured to be paid on death] which shall be payable on the date of maturity; and
- Reduced Income Benefit i.e. 10% of Basic Sum assured x (Number of premiums paid/Total Number of premiums payable) shall be payable from the policy anniversary coinciding with or following the date of death of Life Assured till the policy anniversary prior to date of maturity.
The Sum Assured on Maturity under paid-up policy shall be reduced to such a sum called “Maturity Paid-up Sum Assured” and shall be equal to Sum Assured on Maturity * (no. of premiums paid / no. of premiums payable).
A paid-up policy will not accrue any further bonuses. However, the vested simple reversionary bonuses, if any, shall remain attached to the reduced paid up policy and shall be payable only on the date of maturity.
Rider(s) do not acquire any paid-up value and the rider benefits cease to apply, if policy is in lapsed condition.
Surrender Value:
The policy can be surrendered provided atleast three full years’ premiums have been paid. The Guaranteed Surrender value shall be percentage of total premiums paid (net of service tax) excluding extra premiums and premiums for rider(s), if opted for. This percentage will depend on the policy term and policy year in which the policy is surrendered.
In addition, the surrender value of any vested simple reversionary bonuses, if any, shall also be payable. The surrender value factors applicable to vested bonuses will depend on the policy term and policy year in which the policy is surrendered.
Corporation may, however, pay Special Surrender value, if it is more favorable to the Policyholder.
Policy Loan:
Loan can be availed under the policy provided the policy has acquired surrender value and subject to the terms and conditions as the Corporation may specify from time to time.
In case of exit i.e. either by Surrender or Maturity, any loan outstanding along with interest shall be recovered from the claim proceeds. However, in case of death of the policyholder, until the loan is fully repaid, interest on such outstanding loan (principal amount with interest) as on the date of death shall be recovered from any immediate benefit(s) i.e. Rider Benefit(s) payable under the policy and Annual Income Benefits. The principal amount of loan outstanding shall be recovered from any rider benefit(s) if payable under the policy else from the final lumpsum payment.
Taxes:
Taxes including Service Tax, if any, shall be as per the Tax laws and the rate of tax shall be as applicable from time to time.
The amount of tax as per the prevailing rates shall be payable by the Policyholder on premiums including extra premiums, if any. The amount of tax paid shall not be considered for the calculation of benefits payable under the plan.
Cooling-off period:

On receipt of the same the Corporation shall cancel the policy and return the amount of premium deposited after deducting the proportionate risk premium (for basic plan and rider(s), if any) for the period on cover, expenses incurred on medical examination, special reports, if any and stamp duty.
