LIC Jeevan Labh : Is it profitable for you?

Overview of LIC Jeevan Labh plan

LIC Jeevan Labh  also called Table 836 is a non-linked participating Endowment Insurance
Plan.  It offers a combination of protection and saving features.

The plan is available from ages 8 to 59 years. The maximum age at maturity is 75 years.

In  LIC Jeevan Labh there are only 3 policy terms with corresponding premium
paying term. The customer can select any one of these according to their
requirement.The policy terms are 16, 21, and 25 years with premium-paying terms of
10,15 and 16 years respectively. Policy term means till when one would be covered with
insurance. Premium Paying Term, PPT, means till when one has to pay premium.
For example if Rahul , who is 30 years of age, plans to take LIC Jeevan Labh for the term
of 21 years which has premium payment term (PPT) of 15 years . He will be covered i.e
have insurance till he is 50 years old but he will have to pay premium only till 15 years i.e

Rider by payment of additional premium. If buyer opted for this rider, an amount equal to
sum assured will be payable if death occurs due to accident. In case of permanent
disability due to accident, future premium will be waived and the amount equal to Sum
Assured is payable in 10 years equal monthly installments.

Understanding Insurance Jargon : Sum

Assured,Policy Term,Participating …
Lets try to understand the Insurance jargon used in the overview of the plan. Our article Life
Insurance explains these terms in detail.

Insurance is basically a contract,a policy, between us and the insurance company.

The insurance company promises you to pay a certain agreed amount,Sum
assured, on happening of an uncertain event.When we buy insurance we transfer a
portion of risk to the insurance company. This protection comes at a price,premium,
but (hopefully) it’s at fraction of cost what we might find otherwise ourselves
burdened with.
Policy tenure or Term : The period for which an insurance policy provides cover

https://www.bemoneyaware.com/blog/lic-jeevan-labh-is-it-profitable-for-you/[9/3/2018 7:33:50 AM]

LIC Jeevan Labh : Is it profitable for you?

or  the number of years you choose to insure yourself. Policy terms vary from a
single year many years. Premium paying term is the number of years you pay
premium on your policy. Usually the premium paying term is the same as the policy
term. However, some policies offer you the option of selecting a premium paying
term that is lower than the policy term.
Endowment  Plan:  An endowment plans if policy holder dies during the policy
term, nominee gets the sum assured plus some returns; if he survives the policy term,
he gets back the sum assured and returns. Unlike Term Insurance where if the
insured dies during the policy term his family gets the money, but if he survives the
policy term he or his family does not get anything.
Non Linked : It means that it is  NOT Unit linked Insurance Plan or
ULIP which are combined life insurance and investment plans. In ULIP part of the
premium paid by the customer goes towards providing the insurance cover and the
balance is invested in venues of investment desired by the policy holder. These
insurance plans double as mutual funds.In Unit Linked Insurance Plans(ULIP),
the investments are subject to risks associated with the capital markets
i.e linked to the stock market. But this plan is not linked to stock
market.

Participating : Over and above the returns mentioned ,you also get an
additional benefit in the form of reversionary bonuses. Typically, these bonuses
are a percentage of the sum assured and are declared at the end of every year. Once
declared they become guaranteed. These bonuses come from the surplus generated by the
participating fund. The insurer is free to exercise its discretion, while declaring the
surplus.Such plans are called as Participating plans. Bonus is only paid to customers
who have bought a Participating Insurance Policy .Our article  Bonus of Life Insurance
Policies explains about Bonus in detail.
Terminal bonus or Final additional bonus : Terminal bonus is paid at maturity
or at the time of claim.
Simple reversionary bonuses : Simple reversionary bonus is a with profits life
assurance bonus, normally declared annually, which is based on the profits of the life

https://www.bemoneyaware.com/blog/lic-jeevan-labh-is-it-profitable-for-you/[9/3/2018 7:33:50 AM]

LIC Jeevan Labh : Is it profitable for you?

company’s investment and is payable at the maturity of the policy or prior

death. Simple reversionary bonuses are declared as a percentage rate, calculated on
the sum assured. For example if you hold a policy of Rs 10,00,000 Sum assured and
the simple reversionary bonus for the year declared is Rs 60 per thousand sum
assured, then your bonus amount is Rs 60 * 10,00,000/1,000 which is Rs 60,000 for
this year, but you will only get it at maturity or on death.
The sum assured is the amount of money an insurance policy guarantees
that the policyholder will receive. This is also known as the cover or the coverage
amount and is the total amount for which an individual is insured.Maturity value is the
amount the insurance company has to pay an individual when the policy matures. So
Maturity value  includes the sum assured and the bonuses.Premium to arrive at
Basic Sum Assured will not include the taxes you paid, any extra premium and is before
applying rebate.
Riders: Additional covers that can be added to a life policy, for a cost For example – If
Akshay, has taken a policy which offers a sum assured of Rs. 10 lakhs and has taken an
accidental death benefit rider of an additional Rs. 10 lakhs. In the event of death of the
policy holder due to an accident during the tenure of the policy, the nominee would get Rs.
20 lakhs as the death benefit.
Tax benefits on Insurance policies is available.
 Premiums paid towards a life insurance policy qualify for tax deductions under
Section 80C with a limit of 1.5 lakh (before 10 Jul 2014 it was 1 lakh) in a financial
year.
 Section 10 (10D) exempts maturity proceeds from tax.
All regular-premium life insurance policies issued after April 1 2012, except pension plans,
will have to offer a protection cover of at least 10 times the annual premium.
Otherwise, they will not be eligible for tax benefits under section 80C and 10 (10D).
Before 1st April  2012, the mandated cover was five times the annual premium.

Lets see what a policy holder of LIC Jeevan Labh will get.

LIC Jeevan Labh : Is it profitable for you?

On Death of Policy holder – If policy holder dies during the policy term, his nominee
will receive the Sum Assured + Accrued Bonuses + Final additional bonus or FAB (if
any). After this, the policy will cease to exist.  The death benefit would not be less than
105 per cent of the total premiums paid as on date of death.
On Surviving till maturity – If policy holder survives till the end of policy term, he will
get the Sum Assured + Accrued Bonuses+FAB (if any). Final additional bonus or
FABThe policy will terminate thereafter.

LIC Bonus Rates

When Life Insurance companies make profits and share the profits with their policyholders they
do so by calling it a Bonus. Bonus is not shared with every customer or every policyholder. It
is only paid to customers who have bought a Participating Insurance Policy such
as  traditional insurance policies like the endowment policy. The percentage of bonus that is
paid to the policyholder is not fixed. We have touched two kinds of bonus, Simple reversionary
bonus (SRB) and Terminal or Final additional bonus (FAB)

Every year LIC declares bonus rates on all its Products. LIC’s Bonus rates for 2014-2015, were
declared in Aug,2015.  Bonus of LIC Plan is available at http://www.licindia.in/bonus_info.htm

SRB Bonus rates vary according to the type of policy, policy and term of the policy. E.g.
Endowment plan have different Bonus rates than WholeBack Plan. Jeevan Anand policy
with a term of 5 year will have a different bonus rate than Jeevan Anand of 11 years.
As per the last reported bonus rates LIC of India reported different rates for policies with
term <11 years, between 11-15 years, between 16-20 years and >20 years
Final Additional Bonus is dependent on the term of the policy and the sum assured. E.g.
LIC of India’s Jeevan Anand policy of Sum Assured of 3 lakhs for 5 years will have a
different FAB than same policy of 10 lakhs for same 5 years.
