    How Does LIC Jeevan Rakshak Work

    LIC Jeevan Rakshak has a maximum policy term of 20 years and its premium payment term is equal to its policy term. The premium payable varies as per the age of the prospective policy holder, the term of the policy and the chosen Sum Assured. Taking these into consideration, if

    Policy Term = 15 yearsSum Assured = 1,00,000Premium Payment Term = 15 years
    then, considering Mr. Verma (Age - 30 years), Mr. Sharma (Age - 40 years) and Ms. Soni (Age - 50 years) apply for this policy, the sample premiums payable by them would be -

    Mr. Verna - Rs. 5235Mr. Sharma - Rs. 5370Ms. Soni - Rs. 5780
    The policy can be availed by contacting registered LIC offices around India or through licensed agents and brokers of LIC. Medical reports are not a requisite for this policy as it mandates the coverage of only healthy individuals. Proposal form 300, a passport size photograph, address and age proof will have to be submitted during the time of application.

    This policy is of a shorter time frame (20 years) and the maximum entry age is 55 years. While tax benefits are applicable on the policy, it can only be considered a fringe benefit to the actual cover it provides. As an investment option, this policy doesn't stand too bright.
