LIC Premium Endowment Plan

LIC Premium Endowment Plan has been withdrawn by LIC and is not available for sale and purchase.

LIC has always been one of the most trusted life insurance companies in India. The choices for insurances and getting benefits out of it are the main reasons why people tend to select this one over others. Citizens can find their particular one after reading the terms and conditions provided to them. Recently, LIC'S Limited Premium Endowment Plan is gaining popularity due to its dual objectives. It provides the user an opportunity to save and find protection at the same time.

What Is LIC Premium Endowment Plan?

This plan has double roles to play. Firstly, this plan is applicable for safeguarding a family after the untimely death of the policyholder. Secondly, after maturity, it provides a handsome amount of money to the policyholder. After the end of each year, this policy has to offer a bonus amount which will be added with the main amount.

The name itself suggests that this plan is a limited period offer. The meaning is the premiums that need to be paid are limited. After the end of certain years, the policyholder doesn't need to pay them anymore. This is one of the most attractive features of this plan. For example, if this policy is going to mature after 12 years then the policyholder has to pay premiums for at least 8 years. After that time period, they don't have to bear the payments. The amount of the actual policy will be paid fully if the policyholder dies unnaturally before maturity and also if it matures naturally.
