Real Calculation Example
Consider the official LIC illustration with these details:
| Policy detail | Selected value |
| Age of Primary Life Assured | 35 years |
| Age of Secondary Life Assured | 35 years |
| Death Benefit Option | Option I |
| Policy term | 20 years |
| Basic Sum Assured | ₹10,00,000 |
| Purchase mode | Offline, new customer |
The annual Guaranteed Addition is:
₹10,00,000 ÷ 1,000 × ₹70
= ₹70,000 per yearTotal Guaranteed Additions after 20 years are:
₹70,000 × 20
= ₹14,00,000The maturity benefit is:
Basic Sum Assured ₹10,00,000
Total Guaranteed Additions ₹14,00,000
Estimated Maturity Benefit ₹24,00,000In LIC’s illustration, the single premium without GST is ₹8,12,750 after the applicable premium adjustment, and the Sum Assured on Death is ₹10,52,188. Therefore:
- First death during the policy term: ₹10,52,188
- Second death at the end of policy year 10: ₹10,52,188 + ₹7,00,000 = ₹17,52,188
- Maturity after 20 years, if at least one spouse survives: ₹24,00,000
These amounts do not include rider benefits. Any outstanding policy loan and interest may also be deducted from the amount payable.

Premium Rebates
High Basic Sum Assured Rebate
The high Basic Sum Assured rebate is deducted from the Tabular Single Premium. It is stated per ₹1,000 of Basic Sum Assured.
| Basic Sum Assured | 10 years | 15 years | 20 years | 25 years |
| ₹3 lakh to below ₹5 lakh | Nil | Nil | Nil | Nil |
| ₹5 lakh to below ₹10 lakh | ₹11 | ₹13 | ₹15 | ₹16 |
| ₹10 lakh to below ₹15 lakh | ₹21 | ₹26 | ₹29 | ₹32 |
| ₹15 lakh and above | ₹25 | ₹30 | ₹33 | ₹35 |
The 20-year and 25-year columns apply only where those terms are available. Option II does not offer these terms.
An online proposal completed without an agent or intermediary gets a rebate of 2% of the Tabular Single Premium. A separate term-based rebate is available to eligible existing policyholders and eligible nominees or beneficiaries of deceased policyholders. The official eligibility rules must be met.

Surrender Value
The policy can be surrendered during the policy term. LIC pays the higher of:
- Guaranteed Surrender Value plus the surrender value of accrued Guaranteed Additions; or
- Special Surrender Value.
| Surrender time | GSV percentage of eligible single premium |
| During the first three policy years | 75% |
| After the first three policy years | 90% |
Tax, rider premium and underwriting extra are not included in the single premium used for this calculation. Accrued Guaranteed Additions are not simply added in full. LIC applies the GSV factor for the selected policy term and surrender year.
The calculator can show an indicative GSV-based amount. It cannot confirm the Special Surrender Value because LIC reviews that value under the rules applicable at the time of surrender. Early surrender may give less than the amount originally paid.
Policy Loan
A loan can be taken after three months from the policy issue date or after the free-look period ends, whichever is later. The maximum loan depends on the policy year.
| Policy year | Maximum loan as a percentage of surrender value |
| Years 1 and 2 | 50% |
| Years 3 to 5 | 60% |
| Years 6 to 9 | 65% |
| Year 10 onwards | 70% |
The loan amount displayed by the calculator is based on its estimated surrender value. LIC will calculate the final surrender value, loan amount and interest rate when the loan is approved. Outstanding loan and interest are recovered from policy benefits.
Optional Riders
LIC’s Accidental Death and Disability Benefit Rider and LIC’s New Term Assurance Rider are available for both spouses at the start on payment of an extra premium. The combined rider premium cannot exceed 30% of the base-plan premium. Each rider’s Sum Assured cannot exceed the Basic Sum Assured, and the Secondary Life Assured’s rider cover cannot be higher than the Primary Life Assured’s rider cover.
Death and Maturity Benefits in Instalments
The policyholder may choose to receive all or part of a death or maturity benefit in instalments over 5, 10 or 15 years. Payments can be monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly.
| Payment frequency | Minimum instalment |
| Monthly | ₹5,000 |
| Quarterly | ₹15,000 |
| Half-yearly | ₹25,000 |
| Yearly | ₹50,000 |
The option for death benefits can be selected during the policyholder’s lifetime while the policy is active. The maturity settlement option must be selected at least three months before the maturity date. If the claim amount is too small to provide the required minimum instalment, LIC pays it as a lump sum.
Important Policy Rules
- Free-look period: The policy can be returned within 30 days of receiving the policy document. LIC may deduct proportionate risk premium, medical costs and stamp duty.
- No grace period or revival: There are no future base premiums because the premium is paid once.
- Suicide exclusion: For suicide within 12 months from commencement of risk, LIC pays the higher of 80% of the eligible single premium or the available surrender value. The policy then ends.
- Tax Rule: LIC’s current illustration shows GST as exempt, but the tax applicable on the purchase date will follow the prevailing law.
Who May Consider to Buy This Plan?
The plan may be useful for a married couple who wants one policy covering both spouses, can pay a large amount once and prefers fixed benefits instead of market-linked returns. It may also suit a couple who wants the policy to continue for the surviving spouse after the first death.
It may not be suitable when the main need is a large life cover at a low premium. A pure term insurance plan normally provides more cover for the premium when protection is the only goal. It may also be unsuitable if the single premium may be needed for an emergency, because early surrender can give a lower value.
