Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) withdrew two of its term insurance plans, namely Jeevan Amar and Tech Term. However, the company launched a new, revised version of these insurance plans.
LIC launched both, the Jeevan Amar plan and the Tech Term plan in the same year. While the Jeevan Amar plan was launched in the month of August, the Tech Term plan was launched in September 2019.
Ever since then, the company had not increased the premium rates of the plans even once. Hence, owing to the increasing reinsurance rates, LIC had to withdraw their Jeevan Amar and Tech Term plans.
Existing policyholders who already have an LIC term insurance plan need not worry about these changes, as the revised rate won’t affect them in any way. Their existing policy will continue to run as usual, whether they own an LIC Tech Term or LIC Jeevan Amar insurance plan.
In fact, as per a report on LiveMint, people who have already submitted a proposal for buying either of these insurance policies and paid the deposit by November 22 will be allowed to enjoy the benefits of the plan as per the previous rates. However, this is only valid if their proposal gets accepted by November 30, 2022.
\Apart from these, every new or potential customer will have to buy their new term policies as per the revised rates.
The closure or withdrawal of a product or service simply means that it is closed for future sales. This means anyone buying a new Jeevan Amar or Tech Term insurance plan will have to pay their premiums according to the new rates.
LIC’s New Jeevan Amar plan is a non-linked, non-participating, individual, pure-risk premium life insurance plan. This policy provides financial aid to the insured person’s family in case of his/her unfortunate death during the ongoing policy term.
According to the newly updated and revised plan, the core of the plan remains the same. However, there are some slight changes in the premiums one needs to pay to buy this plan. Any person insuring themselves under this program should be between 18 to 65 years of age at the time of buying the insurance. Meanwhile, their age at maturity shouldn’t be more than 80 years of age.
