As an example of the LIC Jeevan Umang plan, let’s consider a 30-year-old male, Dev, who wants to buy the policy with a sum assured of Rs. 10,00,000, a policy term of 70 years (100 minus 30 years), and a premium paying term of 20 years. The annual premium he will have to pay comes to Rs. 54,036, including taxes. If Dev dies within the premium paying term, his family will receive the death benefit, which is the higher amount between 7 times the annual premium and the basic sum assured amount. If Dev dies 10 years after the premium paying term ends, he will receive annual survival benefits for those 10 years and his family can claim the death benefit. In case Dev survives till the maturity date, he will receive the basic sum assured along with applicable bonuses.
