What Are The Prominent Features Of LIC Bachat Plus?

Following are the key features of the LIC Bachat Plus plan:

  • Revival Of A Lapsed Policy

It is critical for policyholders to pay their premiums before the grace period expires in order to avoid their policy lapses. The insured, on the other hand, has five years from the date of the first due premium to the date of the plan’s maturity to resuscitate the lapsed policy.

  • Premium Payments

When we talk about payment of premiums under the LIC Bachat Plus plan, it can be paid in one lump payment or on an annual, half-yearly, quarterly, or monthly basis or by salary deductions during the premium paying term.

  • Grace Period

Policyholders of the LIC Bachat Plus plan benefit from a generous grace period. Individuals who pay premiums on a monthly basis are given a 15-day grace period. Policyholders who pay their premiums quarterly, semi-annually, or annually are given a 30-day grace period.

  • Loan Facility

The loan facility is an appealing aspect of the LIC Bachat Plus Plan. The loan facility for single premium payers will be available after three months from the policy’s start date. In addition, the loan amount can be as much as 90% of the surrender value. The loan opportunity for limited premium payers, on the other hand, will be available only after two years of continuous premium payment. Depending on the parameters, the loan amount can range from 80% to 90% of the surrender value.

  • Free Look Period

It is possible that the policyholder is dissatisfied with the policy’s terms and conditions for a variety of reasons. The insurance can be returned to the company within 15 days for offline sales and 30 days for online purchases in this instance.
