LIC term insurance is costlier than others

Insurance Premium of term insurance plan of LIC is very costly than other insurer in India. What would be the reason?If 30yrs old person gets term insurance than Yearly premium would be rs 19000 for 1cr sum assured policy even though private insurer charge approx 10 to 11k only.
Few reasons to ponder prior to take LIC term insurance:

LIC CLAIM RATIO: LIC CLAIM statement is the highest in the world Its 98.3% as per IRDA data. We all know LIC has huge customers but maintaining greatest CLAIM RATIO .

Government’s backing: LIC is paying huge dividends to government from its Yearly profit . On the contrary Government provides sovereign Guarantee on each policies . Which is not available in PRIVATE INSURER.

Mortality Rate: it is basic ingredient to calculate premium of any policies . But we know that mortality Rate is common for all insurer. Private company must not reduce it. Even though longevity of every citizen has been increased and on an average people living 72 years normally.Which is common for all insurance company

Admin Charge: LIC has the lowest administration charge amongst almost all insurers. Salary of LIC staff,Offices and all other expenditure is very less in LIC.It is visible to all.

Note: The only reason for high premium of its Guaranteed CLAIM payments. One can take online term insurance from LIC with reduced premium.

LIC gives BONUS to policy holders

LIC declare Bonus rate every years but it not paid immediately, it will be paid at the time of maturity or premature death of policy holder. Bonus varies as per the plans term and condition.Bonus rate of LIC is declared on per thousand of sum assure(SA) basis.
Original bond paper consist the detail of type of bonus available in the Insurance PLAN. One can get bonus rate charts of desired year from LIC website home page

 

 Types of LIC bonus

There are four types of bonuses declared by LIC.

  • Simple Reversionary Bonus

  • Final Additional Bonus (FAB) or Terminal Bonus

  • Loyalty Additions

  • Guaranteed Additions (GA

Simple Reversionary Bonus

  • What we simply meant when we say Bonus is this “Simple Reversionary Bonuses”. This bonus is declared per thousand of the Sum Assured Amount in each financial year by LIC but will be paid at the end of maturity period or on the death of the policyholder, whichever is earlier.

  • For instance if you are holding Jeevan Lakshya policy with Sum Assure amount of Rs.10 lakhs and policy term exceeding 20 years and the bonus declared this year is Rs.49, then your bonus amount would be Rs.49,000 for current year, but as said earlier, you will get this amount only at maturity or on death.

Final Additional Bonus (FAB) or Terminal Bonus

  • This is the second type of bonus declared by LIC termed as Final Additional Bonus (FAB). FAB is a onetime payment and paid only to those policyholders who have policy of longer duration, say 15 years and more, and has paid premium for all 15 years. Usually, policies having Guaranteed Additions are not eligible for FAB.

Loyalty Additions

Loyalty Addition is a non-guaranteed bonus which is given as an appreciation of being a long-term loyal customer of LIC. Usually this is also declared per thousand of sum depending and at the end of the policy term but for some policies it gets declared after completion of certain policy period such as in Jeevan Saral Policy, loyalty additions will be awarded to the policyholders after completing minimum of 10 years. But likewise FAB, loyal addition is also paid at the end of maturity period or on death whichever is earlier subject to completion of minimum policy period.

Guaranteed Additions (GA)

  • Some of the LIC Policies offers a “Guaranteed Additions” which means that policyholder will get an assured amount of sum for a specified period. For instance, Jeevan Shiromani policy provides a Guaranteed Additions of Rs.50 per year per thousand sum assured for first five years of the policy.

  • Another such policy is Komal Jeevan (Now closed plan). Guaranteed Additions are added with the Basic Sum Assured and paid at the time of claim.

How to Calculate LIC bonus

  • Suppose SA =10,00,000 and policy is taken for Term 30 yrs

  • Bonus declared = 49/1000

                                        then   1000000X49X30  

                                                       1000

                    =14,70,000

  • FAB declared = 1100/1000

=11,00,000

 

Then Total Maturity =SA + Bonus + FAB

 

= 10 lac+14.70 lac+11 lac=35.70 lac
