LIC Nivesh Plus (849) Plan: A New ULIP

April 27, 2020

Salient Features

  1. It is a unit-linked insurance plan (ULIP). This means there is no guarantee of returns.
  2. This is a Type I ULIP. At the time of demise, the nominee gets Higher of (Sum Assured, Fund Value). Under a Type II ULIP, the nominee gets Sum Assured + Fund Value. Everything else being the same, Type I ULIP provides better returns while the Type II ULIP provides better life cover.
  3. Single Premium plan (you need to pay the premium just once)
  4. Sum Assured: You have two choices. The option once chosen cannot be changed. This choice has very important tax and return implications. Will discuss this later.
    1. Option 1: 1.25 times Single Premium
    1. Option 2: 10 times Single Premium
  5. Policy Term: Can range from 10 to 25 years, depending upon your age and Sum Assured option chosen.
  6. Eligibility: I reproduce an image from the product brochure
  7. Charges in the plan: You have usual suspects. Premium allocation charges, Mortality charges, fund management charges, switching charges, partial withdrawal charge etc. Will discuss these later in the post.
  8. You CAN NOT get a loan under LIC Nivesh Plus plan. Loans are not permitted for ULIPs.
  9. You have 4 fund choices
