ULIP Plans in LIC

Ulip plans of LIC of india:
ULIP stand for unit linked insurance plans. Thes plans are involved with the share market of india. The amount paid by the policy holder is invested in the share market for buying the units. Usually one unit denotes one share. Some 30% to 40% of the premuim paid by the policy holder is taken as administration charges and part of the rest of ghe premium is taken towards the life cover of the policy holde. The rest o the amount will be investes on buying the shares for the policy. The minimum lock in period for these kinds of policies will be a minimum of 3 years and a maximum of 5 years. The lock in period denotes the period for which the premium should be paid by the policy holder towards the insuranc company without fail. After the ck in period it is the choic of the policy holder to pay the premium. If he pays the premium units will be bought on his policy. The policy holder canalso surrender his policy after the lockin period.

The benefit or profit in these kinds o policy ourely depends uopon the NAV(NET ASSET VALUE). This value denotes the peice of a single share or unit on the current day. If the policy holder has dwcided to surrender his policy he should check the number of units in his account(this will be notified by lic periodically or it csn be enquired at an lic office) and the value of a single unit then multiply them together to find the current total value. some of the plans available in the lic on this basis are
Money plus
Market plus
Fortune plus
Child future plus

We will discuss more on these policies in the future coming posts

LIC Loyalty Additions

There are differences between bonus and loyalty additions. These two should not be confused with each other. In most of the cases the loyalty addition will be declared for the policy holder based on the period for which he has paid the premium amount even in the case of death. The policy holder should have paid the premium for a minimum specified period to become eligible for the loyalty addition. But this is not the situation with bonus calculation. However the mathematical calculations are same for both the bonus and loyalty additions. The most important point here is that the loyalty addition will be given to the policy holder based on the experience of the company with the policy holder. For some insurances both the bonus amount as well as the loyalty additions are given to the policy holder.
For example if a proposer takes a policy for an amount of rupees 500000 for 20 years and if the loyalty addition is given at a rate of rupees 40 per 1000 sum assured then the total loyalty addition he would get will be 20 x 500 x 40 = 400000. And the total amount along with the maturity amount will be 500000 + 400000 = 900000 /-. This is one of the examples of calculating loyalty addition.

LIC Bonus amount

Bonus amount:



Bonus is a amount given to the policy holders apart from their maturity or death benefits. In india the highest bonus amount is given by the LIC of india. IRDA specifies the regulation for paying the bonus to the policy holders. 90% of the surplus amount got from the profit should be returned to the policy holders in the form of bonus. And the profit of an insurance company directly depends on the numbers. Since LIC of india is having more than 16 crore policy holders the amount of bonus given will be very high. Sometimes this may become more than the maturity sum assured. For example a person has taken a policy having maturity amount of rupees 500000 for a term of 20 years an if the bonus is calculated at an average of rupees 42 per thousand sum assured then the total bonus amount accrued for him at the end of 20 years would be 20 x 500 x 42 = 420000 which is just 80000 short from the maturity amount. And the total amount received by the policy holder will be 500000 + 420000 = 920000. That will be really great.

LIC of india - Modes of insurance payment

There are 5 modes of premium payment methods in LIC of India. LIC of India provides rebates on the premium to be paid based on the mode of payment made by the policy holder. The highest rebate is given to the yearly mode.

Quarterly : The premium has to be paid every 3 months in a policy year. Usually there are no rebates given for this mode of premium payment.

Half yearly: The premium amount has to be paid every 6 months of the policy year. Usually rebates are given to this kind of payment. However the rebate percentage varies according to the policy.



Yearly: This the most welcomed mode of payment by LIC of India. The highest rebate is given to this mode of payment since it eases the managing and accounting processes of the company for the particular policy holder.



Monthly: The policy premium has t be paid every month of the policy year. A 5% percentage of the premium amount has to be paid extra for this mode of premium. This is not the recommended form of premium payment since it increases the overhead for both the policy holder as well as the insurance company.



Salary savings scheme(SSS):

In this mode of premium payment the policy premium will be deducted from the salary of the policy holder every month automatically. The difference between monthly mode and this mode is that the extra premium has not to be paid in this mode of premium. For selecting this mode of premium the organization in which the policy holder is working should support this practice.

What is meant by a rider premium?

A rider premium is an extra amount paid by the proposer in order to enjoy some extra benefits in case of risk.  obviously the enjoyment is only for the nominee of the policy holder.

Example: Double accident benefit rider is a very popular rider that is almost given to all the proposers. The advantage of this rider is that it is very cheap in rate and covers a maximum risk.  when a proposer takes up this rider the nominee of the policy holder will get double the amount of the sum assured on the risk of the policy holder.
