Lic has long been synonymous with financial security. As such, the Jeevan Labh Yojana 2026 was rolled out. It offers two types of benefits-the financial security of the family in the event of the death of the policyholder, as well as the lump-sum benefit at maturity to the policyholder. Consequently, this is seen as a well-balanced strategy for both protection and saving.
Salient features
The non-linked endowment policy known as LIC Jeevan Labh is sheltered from the gyrations of the capital markets. It guarantees limited premium payments, under which a policyholder participates in premiums for a particular period of time while accumulating full cover till the existing policy period. These plans are not expected to fetch any bonuses, which LIC may declare from time to time, which can further enhance the maturity amount anywhere along the timeline.
Premiums and Maturity Amounts.
For example, suppose an person pays close to ₹10,000 annually for 16 years, the total premium paid is ₹1,60,400. At maturity after 25 years, the policyholder could receive about ₹2,20,000 including bonuses, assuming a 4% annual growth rate. Furthermore, if the policy-holder dies during the indexed term, the nominee will receive an assured amount with a bonus as compensation.
Benefits
The plan offers death benefits, maturity benefits, and bonuses. The death benefit ensures financial cover for the family, while the maturity benefit pays a lump sum for future financial emergencies. The bonuses also increase the effective returns on this attractive saving product for LIC.
Limitations
Jeevan Labh does indeed provide guaranteed fixed returns, but the principal is locked in throughout the term of the policy. Premature withdrawal is not an option, somewhat reducing the liquidity of the invested amount. Also, considering current status inflation, the inflation effect on returns means that the actual real value of money received at the time of maturity would be significantly lower over time.
