What is the Old Bima Kiran LIC Policy?
Table of Contents
The new Bima Kiran policy is a premium back-term insurance plan that provides financial security in case of death during the term of the plan and returns the premium paid on maturity. The premiums in this plan are payable quarterly, half-yearly, or yearly during the term of the policy. Although LIC calls it a term plan, since it also provides maturity benefits and loyalty bonuses, we can call it a combination of term and endowment plans.
Old Bima Kiran LIC policy is a non-linked, non-participating individual savings and life insurance plan. On completion of maturity, the premium amount is returned. If something happens during the policy period, the family members will be financially supported.
Generally, the premium amount is not refundable in term policies. In this plan, the insurance is guaranteed at the time of the policy and the premium amount is returned at the time of maturity. Simply put, the policyholders, if they survive the term, get back the entire premium paid under the policy.
Loyalty Bonus:
This is a with-profit plan. In this plan, a part of the benefit is available in the form of a loyalty bonus. A loyalty bonus will be paid in addition to the death benefit or maturity benefit provided the policy is in force and all premiums have been paid. A loyalty bonus will not be available if the policyholder dies in the first four years of the policy.
Death Benefit:
The sum assured and loyalty bonus (if any) are payable in a lump sum at the time of death of the policyholder.

An amount equal to the total amount of premiums paid (including accident benefit) will be paid to the life insured on maturity.
