How Does LIC’s Dhan Rekha Plan Function?

In order to understand how LIC’s Dhan Rekha plan functions, we need to go through an example!

Suppose you take Rs. 10 lakhs policy for 30 years policy tenure.

From the first to the fifteenth year, you start paying the premium. LIC will pay you 15% of your sum assured at the end of the 15th year (beginning of the 16th), the 20th year, and the 25th year. LIC will pay you the full sum assured, i.e., Rs.10 lakhs, after the completion of the 30th year (beginning of the 31st year), and Guaranteed Addition as Rs.50 from the 6th to the 20th year (Rs.7,50,000=Rs.50,000X15) and Rs.55 from the 21st to the 30th year (Rs.5,50,000=Rs.55,000X10). As a result, after 30 years, you will receive Rs.23,00,000 in total.

If you’re happy to invest for 30 years, then go ahead and take advantage of this policy.
