What is the LIC New Endowment Plan-914?

LIC’s New Endowment Plan is a regular premium non-linked individual life insurance plan that offers both savings and protection to the policyholders.

Along with this, the policyholder also gets the facility of loan in this plan. On completion of the policy, the policyholder receives a hefty sum.

What’s Endowment Plan?

Endowment is basically a life insurance plan which encourages an insured to protect his life as well as to make a regular savings. After a certain period a good amount is paid to the insured.

Let’s understand this policy with an Example:

Name: Mr. Archit Tomar

Age: 21 years

Policy Term: 35 years

Sum Assured: Rs. 5 Lakh

Plan: LIC New Endowment Plan

Premium Paying Term (PPT): 35 years

There is a person named Archit Tomar who is 21 years old and he has taken this policy for 35 years with a sum assured of Rs. 5 lakhs. So here Archit’s premium for a policy of 35 years will go to Rs 1,186 per Month or Rs. 13,923 per Year

Total Premium: Rs. 4,87,612

Maturity Benefit (After 35 Years)

Sum Assured of the policy: Rs. 8 Lakhs

Vested Simple Revisionary Bonus: Rs. 8.40 Lakhs

Final Additional Bonus: Rs. 11.50 Lakhs

Maturity: Rs. 24.90 Lakhs

When the policy’s 35 years are completed, Archit will get maturity something like this. He gets Rs. 8 Lakhs as sum insured, Rs. 8.40 Lakhs as bonus and Rs.11.50 Lakhs as final additional bonus. In this way the total amount will become Rs 24.90 Lakhs. It can be seen here that Archit deposited Rs 4,87,612 as premium and on maturity he will get around 25 lakhs.

So here we can see that in 35 years, we are getting tripple amount.
