LIC’s Bonus rates for 2014-15 and Comparison

LIC declared its bonus rates on 1st September 2014. As is expected lot of rates are unchanged and maintained the same flow of Jeevan Saral LA rates.

Below is the overall comparison of LIC bonus rates since 2008 to present.

                               

You may notice that Bonus also declared for new plans such as New Jeevan Anand. However, there is no difference at all from old to new plans. Therefore, it is clear that this change was only to match with IRDA regulations. I marked with red colour for the bonus rates of new plans.

Below is the LA rate for the Jeevan Saral Plan.

You notice that LA changed to an old LA rate for premium ranges of Rs.20, 001 to Rs.50, 000 and above Rs.50, 000. I marked with red colour where they changed the LA from the old rates.

Note-The above bonus rates will be applicable for policy entered upon during the inter valuation period, i.e. 01/04/2013 to 31/03/2014 and in force for full sum assured as on 31/03/2014. It would apply to policies resulting in claims by death or maturity (including those discontinued within one year of maturity) or surrendered on or after 01/01/2015.

  • Why does vested bonus appears to be zero(0) for Jeevan Anand policy. I have purchased the policy in 2014 with SA 500000 and tenure of 16 years.

  • My Brother is living in US. In order for FACTA regulations he needs to get the surrender value of lic policy on 31st Dec from 2011. LIC branch officials say they cannot provide the previous year values. Kindly provide the formula to calculate the same and how to know the bonus received till date on each policy.

    • Ashwin-Contact the branch to know the current values. Yes, LIC not surrender the policy for previous date.

  • Hi Basavarj,

    I have problem,

    In my policy document , My Name was mentioned as ' KATABATHULA VIJAYKUMAR', but i have given 10th marks card which has name K. VIJAYKUMAR as proof while taking policy.My other KYC document it is mentioned as K VIJAYKUMAR, except passport where it was mentioned in full name correctly KATBATTULA VIJAYKUMAR .
    My question is..

    1. Is it possible to change the name from KATABATHULA to KATABATTULA in policy , if yes how and what are the documents we need to submit and where..

    2. will it be ok if we dont change the above name. does it will create any issue while claiming the final policy .

    Please suggest what to do..

    Thanks & Regards

    • Vijaykumar-1) Yes, you can change. You have to submit the KYC document with written application for change of name.
      2) Better to change it NOW.

  • Dear Sir,

    I already have an term insurance plan for Sum Assured 50 lakhs. I am eligible for PLI also. Should i go for PLI EA POLICY or LIC NEW ENDOWMENT POLICY based on returns provided by both of them?

    • Singh-Whether you want to buy insurance or investment? In both the cases, I suggest you to avoid LIC and PLI.

  • Hi,
    i have LIC Jeevan Anand (T.No149). I purchase in 28-Sept-11 and paying half yearly 10,517/- and sum assured is 4,00,000/-. Paying Term id 21 years. Till now i paid 94,653 ( 9 Nos of Installment ). Till date bonus is 57,200/-.

    Now i want to ask you.
    1. How much amount i can get at end of policy.
    2. Should i continue with this policy or no.
    3. if i will stop now this policy, how much i can get from policy
    4. In current market which policy i can buy.

    • Sanjay-Regarding current surrender value, contact LIC branch. You continue this plan only if you are satisfied with returns of around 5% to 6%. In current market, the insurance which I recommend is TERM INSURANCE.

  • Iam 31yrs , bought Jeevan Anand in 2009 for 1500000 till 2030. Paying 19000 prm quarterly. Shall i surrender the policy and go for some mutual gunds??

    • Suresh-It depends on you. If you feel the return of around 5% to 6% is good, then continue. Otherwise better to surrender.

  • Dear ,'

    I have three policy one is Jeevan Anand for 16 years premium is 36k in year sum ASsured 5 Lac then how much i will get after 16 years

    please clarify

  • Dear Sir,

    I want to take jeevan anand policy(5 lakh) for 21 years term. My age is 37 years right now. Will this policy fine for me. How much gain will I receive from this?

    • Kamal-For how long your financial dependents survive with Rs.5 lakh of death claim amount? If you feel Rs.5 lakh is a big sum to survive them for next at least 10-15 years, then go ahead. Also, if you feel 5% to 6% return is BEST return for you, then go ahead. Otherwise, think seriously of NOT going.
