LIC Jeevan Saral is a very special kind of endowment plan from LIC. The policy offers various benefits like flexibility in choosing the premium, tenure of the policy, tax benefits, loyalty additions, various riders and is aimed at investors who would like to get guaranteed returns from their investment.
Also, unlike other LIC policies, this policy also gives back the premium amount along with sum assured on death. One can choose the premium on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis as per their convenience.
Death Benefit – How much will I get if die before my policy term?
In case one dies before the maturity period, the family (nominees) of the policyholder will get the following things
Survival Benefit – How much will I get on the Maturity of policy?
In case one dies before the maturity period, the family (nominees) of the policyholder will get the following things
Apart from the base policy, one can also add some extra benefits in this plan (called RIDERS) by paying an extra premium. Under this plan, 2 riders are available
Rider 1 – Term Rider
If one wants to increase their sum assured by a big margin, one can opt for a term rider (which is just like a term plan), which will give a big boost to your sum assured amount.
Rider 2 – Accidental Death and Disability Rider
If one wants to cover the risk of accidental death or disability, one can opt for this rider. So, even if one loses some body part or is unable to work after an accident, they will get certain benefit from this policy.
It is a benefit that one gets on surrendering the policy. One can get the guaranteed surrender value of the policy only when the policy has completed 3 years. Once the policyholder receives the surrender value, the policy will terminate and no benefit can be extracted from that policy.
Income Tax Benefit of LIC Jeevan Saral
This policy comes under 80C benefits. So all the premiums you pay for this policy will be exempted up to Rs 1,50,000 per year. Also, one does not have to pay any tax on maturity withdrawals or on death (Section 10D)
Is there any loan facility available in this policy?

What all is not included in the policy?

Can I revive my policy if it has lapsed?

I am not clear what help are you looking for ? You want to invest that money which you will get from maturity?
i want to surrender my jeevan saral ploicy . it has been 9 years & few months . which would be best time to surrender the policy . i donot want to lose money
You need to check what is the surrender value and in your situation will it make sense to invest that and future premiums to gain more than the maturity value.

What is the average rate of return of a Jeevan Saral policy on maturity of 11 yrs,21 yrs and 31years
I think it shall come in range of 3-5%
Someone enquired from me who is NRI and had taken the policy some 12 years back while holding status of NRI on the advice of his LIC agent whether eligible to hold such policy till maturity( 35 year plan) or not and if not, whether to surrender the policy or continue. In case of surrendering policy, if required then will there be any tax liability.
Would highly appreciate if someone could tell for sure whether NRI is eligible to take this Jeevan Saral policy or the policy is meant only for Indian Resident. Also request if someone can tell where to raise this query if definitive answer is not known
Yes, NRI can take these policies.. but its not suggested from investment point of view as these policies return is quite low like 4-5% max!
thank u very much for the response. U r right that there is no point NRI to take policies here in India but his LIC Agent failed to explain this and w/o giving a thought, he invested.
would appreciate if u could suggest whether advisable to surrender the policy after completing 12 years and would be any tax liability.
thanks once again.
No tax liability!
Just surrender the policy!
