LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan - Table No. 817



As the name suggests, this is Single Premium Plan - you just make a single premium payment at the beginning of the policy term. It is a participating endowment plan, which means that bonus will be paid through the term of the policy. The bonus is an accumulated and at the end of the policy term, the sum assured + the accrued bonus is paid to the policyholder.

You should keep in mind that such plans are not helpful for tax savings purposes. Read more about it under the tax benefits section below.

How does the LIC Single Premium Endowment Policy work?:

When buying the LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan, the customer has to decide on the following:
  1. Sum Assured - this is the amount of cover that you want. You have to choose a minimum of Rs. 50,000. There is no upper limit.
  2. Policy Term - this is the period for which you wish to have the cover. You can choose a policy term between 10 to 25 years.
Based on the above 2 factors and the age at which you are taking the policy, your annual premium will be decided. 

Since it is a Participating plan, you will be eligible for the following at various points through the policy term. These are not guaranteed and you will only know the values as and when they are declared by LIC.
  • Simple Reversionary Bonus
  • Final Addition Bonus, if any

Benefits in the LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan:

Death Benefit in LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan

In case of death of the policyholder at any time during the policy term, the nominee will receive the sum of the following:
  • Sum Assured
  • Simple Reversionary Bonus which has been declared will date
  • Final Addition Bonus if declared in that year
In case the policyholder is less than 8 years of age, the death coverage will start either 2 years from the date of commencement or from the policy anniversary coinciding with or immediately following the attainment of 8 years of age, whichever is earlier. For those aged 8 years or more at the time of taking the policy, death cover will start immediately. In case of death of the policyholder, before the death coverage has started, the single premium minus the taxes would be paid to the nominee.

Maturity Benefit in LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan

At the time of maturity of the plan, that is when the policy term gets over, the policyholder will receive the sum of the following:
  • Sum Assured
  • Simple Reversionary Bonus which has been declared at the end of every year
  • Final Addition Bonus if declared in that year

Let us understand the LIC Single Premium Endowment Plan better with the help of an example


We have Divyesh Divecha, age 35 who wishes to buy this plan. He goes in for the plan with the following:

Sum Assured - Rs. 2,00,000
Term - 20 years

Based on these parameters, his annual premium is Rs. 1,05,200 + Taxes = Rs. 1,09,934. Here we have assumed the current tax rate of 4.5%.

Death Benefit

Scenario 1
 : If Divyesh dies after 3 policy years - The nominee would get the Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus. 

Total Premiums Paid = Rs. 1,09,934

Sum Assured = Rs. 2,00,000

Simple Reversionary Bonus = Rs. 40 per 1,000 Sum Assured for 3 years i.e. (Rs. 45 x 200 x 3) = Rs. 27,000. Here we have assumed that every year a bonus of Rs. 45 per 1,000 Sum Assured is being declared every year. This is just an assumption and it may be higher or lower than this. 

Final Addition Bonus - Nil. Usually Final addition bonus is declared after a much longer premium payment term.

So nominee will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 27,000 = Rs. 2,27,000

Scenario 2 : If Divyesh dies after 15 policy years - The nominee would get the Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus

Total Premiums Paid = Rs 1,09,934

Sum Assured = Rs. 2,00,000

Simple Reversionary Bonus = Rs. 45 per 1,000 Sum Assured for 15 years i.e. (Rs. 45 x 200 x 15) = Rs. 1,35,000. Here we have assumed that every year a bonus of Rs. 45 per 1,000 Sum Assured is being declared every year. This is just an assumption and it may be higher or lower than this. 

Final Addition Bonus - Rs. 20 per 1,000 Sum Assured i.e. (Rs. 20 x 200) = Rs. 4,000. Here we have assumed a one time Final Addition Bonus of Rs. 20 per 1,000 Sum Assured. This is just an assumption and it may be higher or lower than this.

So his nominee will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 1,35,000 + Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 3,39,000


Maturity Benefit


Scenario 3 : If Divyesh survives till the end of the policy term of 25 years - Arvind will get the  Sum Assured + Simple Reversionary Bonus + Final Addition Bonus

Total Premiums Paid = Rs. 1,09,934

Sum Assured = Rs. 2,00,000

Simple Reversionary Bonus = Rs. 45 per 1,000 Sum Assured for 20 years i.e. (Rs. 45 x 200 x 20) = Rs. 1,80,000. Here we have assumed that every year a bonus of Rs. 45 per 1,000 Sum Assured is being declared every year. This is just an assumption and it may be higher or lower than this. 

Final Addition Bonus - Rs. 20 per 1,000 Sum Assured i.e. (Rs. 20 x 200) = Rs. 4,000. Here we have assumed a one time Final Addition Bonus of Rs. 20 per 1,000 Sum Assured. This is just an assumption and it may be higher or lower than this.

So Sumit will get Rs. 2,00,000 + Rs. 1,80,000 + Rs. 4,000 = Rs. 3,84,000

LIC Bima Bachat Plan (816)

NEW Bima Bachat




LIC's New Bima Bachat:


Ever come across a large pile of banknotes? You know, by winning the lottery or hitting the jackpot at your favorite casino? Your first instinct must have been to buy a Porsche (that can’t really show its true skills owing to the Indian roads and the traffic) or to buy a house that could, possibly, contest for winning the show – MTV Cribs.
But, instead of dwelling on utopia, wouldn’t it be more prudent to consider your immediate surroundings? For example, your mother who loves to have you around just to start a bit of friendly banter or your younger brother who aspires to get into Yale but spends his weekends watching Gossip Girl.
Feeling a little less reckless, aren’t we? The new LIC Bima Bachat Plan is for all those people who would prefer security overspending. It is a single premium participating endowment policy, that is, it is the traditional cash back plan with scheduled payments coupled with the return of the entire premium in addition to loyalty points given at the completion of policy tenure.
LIC's New Bima Bachat is a participating non-linked saving cum protection plan, where the premium is paid in lump sum at the outset of the policy. It is a money-back plan which provides financial protection against death during the policy term with the provision of payment of survival benefits at specified durations during the policy term. In addition, on maturity, the single premium shall be returned along with Loyalty Addition, if any. This plan also takes care of liquidity needs through its loan facility.
