Plan coverage – What the LIC's Jeevan Rakshak Plan covers

The LIC's Jeevan Rakshak Plan aims to give reliable protection for the entire life of the policyholder. If the policyholder dies before the plan matures, then the company will pay a benefit to the dependents of the policyholder. If the policyholder survives till the policy matures, then he or she will receive a lump sum amount as a maturity benefit. Moreover, the plan also offers an optional benefit which can be taken by the policyholder if he or she is interested in it.

Type of benefit	Features of the benefit
Death benefit	When the policyholder dies during the policy period, then the nominee will receive a death benefit. This is given only if all the premiums have been paid promptly. The death benefit will be 10 times the annualised premium, basic sum assured, or 105% of all the premiums that have been paid till the date of death, whichever is higher.
Maturity benefit	When the policyholder survives till the end of the policy period, then a maturity benefit will be paid if every premium has been paid accurately.
Participation in profits of the insurance company	If you are eligible to receive profits under this policy and if the policy is active, you will get a share of the profits depending on the performance of the company.

With the LIC's Jeevan Rakshak Plan, you can choose to take a rider or an add-on plan in order to receive enhanced protection. You can take the LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider by paying an extra premium.
