LIC Launches Bima Platinum and Jeevan Raksha Plans
LIC has introduced two different life insurance plans.
Bima Platinum is for people who want life protection along with savings-related benefits.
It adds a guaranteed amount based on the annual premium paid.
It can also pay a booster benefit if the policyholder survives long enough.
The plan may provide regular income during its payout period.
Jeevan Raksha is mainly designed to protect a family if the insured person dies during the policy term.
Its death benefit is fixed and guaranteed.
It does not pay bonuses or a share of LIC’s surplus.
People should compare their protection needs, premiums and policy terms before choosing a plan.
LIC introduced Bima Platinum and Jeevan Raksha on Tuesday during its 70th anniversary.
Bima Platinum combines savings and protection, offering guaranteed additions of ₹70 per ₹1,000 of annual premium paid.
Bima Platinum provides a 70% booster benefit and annual income of 10% of the basic sum assured during the payout period.
Jeevan Raksha is a pure-risk plan with a fixed, guaranteed death benefit and no bonuses or surplus participation.
Jeevan Raksha covers entrants aged 18 to 45, with basic sum assured options from ₹5 lakh to ₹24 lakh.
