LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan

LIC Single Premium Endowment (Plan No. 914, UIN No. 512N277V02) is a non-linked, participating endowment plan that combines life insurance and savings into a single package. This combination of protection and saving ensures that your family is always in a good financial position. You can make a single premium payment at the start of the policy term with this plan. As this plan is a participating endowment plan, the bonus will be paid during the policy’s term.

If the policyholder dies, the sum assured plus any bonuses is paid out according to the terms and conditions. The plan also stipulates that if the policyholder lives to the duration of the insurance term, a lump sum payment will be made to him or her. This insurance plan also includes a loan option for clients who require immediate cash.

Features Of LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan

  • Free Look Period: If the policyholder is unhappy with the plan, he/she has 15 days from the date of issuance to terminate it. The free-look period is the name given to this period. The premium paid, less any applicable expenses would be reimbursed upon cancellation.
  • Guaranteed Surrender Value: If you cancel the plan, you will receive a back part of the single payment paid. The guaranteed surrender value is based on the untaxed premium amount.

Benefits Available Under LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan

The plan includes a plethora of benefits that assist the policyholder. Some of them are mentioned below:

  • Death Benefit: A death benefit is given if the insured dies during the policy’s term. This benefit is contingent on the insured’s death date. If the death of the insured occurs during the policy term before the commencement of risk, there will be the return of a single premium without any interest rates. However, if the insured dies after the date of commencement of risk, the sum assured, vested reversionary bonuses, and any final further bonuses are paid.
  • Maturity Benefit: The policyholder will get the sum of ‘Sum Assured’, ‘Simple Reversionary Bonus’ (which is declared at the end of each year), and ‘Final Addition Bonus’ at the plan’s maturity. On survival, a lump sum payment will be made, and the policy will be terminated.
  • Participation In Profits: The plan is a participating endowment plan, which means it will collect ‘Simple Reversionary Bonuses’ and, if applicable, a ‘Final Additional Bonus’.

How Does The LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan Function?

To understand how the LIC Single Premium Endowment plan functions, we need to go through an example:

Let’s assume that Mr. Suresh, age 35 years, wishes to buy this plan with the sum assured of Rs. 2,00,000 and policy term 20 years. We assume that the current tax rate is 4.5%. Therefore, Mr. Suresh needs to pay his single premium of Rs. 105200 + Rs. 4734 = Rs. 109934. 

If Mr. Suresh dies within the policy period, let’s say after 10 years

If Mr. Suresh dies after 10 policy years, his nominee will get Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus.

SUM ASSURED: Rs. 2,00,000

SIMPLE REVERSIONARY BONUS: We’ve assumed that a bonus of Rs. 45 every 1,000 of Sum Assured is declared every year. 

Therefore, the Simple Reversionary Bonus = Rs. 45 Per 1000 Sum Assured For 10 Years = Rs. 45 X 200 X 10 = Rs. 90,000

FINAL ADDITION BONUS: A one-time Final Addition Bonus of Rs. 20 per 1,000 Sum Assured has been assumed. 

Therefore, Final Addition Bonus = 20 X 200 = Rs. 4000

TOTAL VALUE: The nominee will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 90,000 + Rs. 4000 = Rs. 2,94,000.

If Mr. Suresh survives the policy term

If Mr. Suresh survives the policy term, he will get Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus.

SUM ASSURED: Rs. 2,00,000

SIMPLE REVERSIONARY BONUS: Rs. 45 X 200 X 20 = Rs. 1,80,000

FINAL ADDITION BONUS: 20 X 200 = Rs. 4000

TOTAL VALUE: Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 1,80,000 + Rs. 4000 = Rs. 3,84,000

Therefore, Mr. Suresh will get Rs. 3,84,000 on the maturity of the policy
