Sum Assured and Premium Range - What you get and what it costs?

Sum Assured

The sum assured is a certain amount of money that the policyholder is entitled to receive as the payout, before the addition of any bonuses. This is what is guaranteed by the insurer. Thus, you will have to carefully consider your financial liabilities and future goals when opting for the sum assured amount.

Premiums*

The policyholder has to pay a certain amount of money called the premium, as per the premium payment term, to the insurer, upon purchasing the policy.

Plan Coverage - What the LIC Jeevan Aadhar Plan covers?

If the policyholder passes away during the policy tenure, the sum assured, terminal additions, and guaranteed additions will be paid by the insurer. 20% of this amount will be paid as a lump sum amount and the balance will be paid as annuity for 15 years and for life thereafter. If the handicapped dependent passes away during the premium payment term, the life assured can either continue the policy for a paid-up (reduced) sum assured or have the premiums paid refunded.
