Hi LIC Jeevan Anand Investors -
I purchased a policy with the following details
Purchased - Jan 2009
Sum Assured - 75,00,000
Annual Premium - 244624
Payment Terms - 30 years
As of today, policy shows an accured bonus of 6,75,000.
What I need your input on is-
1) What is this accured bonus figure - is it the sum of all premiums I have paid or bonus that has accrued on top of my premiums paid
2) What is the typical bonus for each year since 2009.
3) What has been the typical payout percentage for all policies since inception of this plan?
4) How much will the estimated maturity value be?
Thanks and appreciate your replies..
@paragkhanna, some one might misguided you. Think of a term policy for 75 lac which you will get less than 30 K price. Rest of the amount, if you invest in PPF or any other medium to high risk sectors, you will get much much better than the returns of Jeevan Anand.
Note that insurance and investment are different objectives. Don't mix them. Insure yourself first, then draft a plan for investment... let the investment plans be endowment insurance policies, PPF, MF, shares, etc...
Your bonus is for the years 2008-09 and 2009-10 which was 45/- and 45/- respectively. Yearly, the LIC announces bonus for every 1000/- of sum assured based on premium payment term. For both these announced years, your bonus is 9000 x 75 = 675000.
Think of surrendering the policy, or change it to some yearly maturing plan for regular returns. Read this thread completely for details. Premium of 244624/- is too huge considering other options.
