LIC’s new children plan 2015-Jeevan Tarun (Table No.834) Review

May 7, 2015by Basavaraj Tonagatti

LIC soon launching one more child plan called Jeevan Tarun (Table No.834) from the month of May 2015. It is typical non-linked, with-profit and limited premium payment option. LIC claims that this plan is suitable to meet the educational or other needs of growing children.

Below is the eligibility for buying this plan.

LIC's Jeevan Tarun (Table No.834)

What do you mean by Date of commencement of risk?

In case the age of entry Life Assured is less than 8 Yrs, then risk under this plan commence either one day before the completion of 2 years from the date of commencement of the policy or completion of 8 years of age, whichever is earlier.

For those aged 8 years or more, the risk will commence immediately.

What do you mean by Premium Wavier Benefit (PWB)?

If the proposer (in this plan, parent) opts for PWB then in case of death of the proposer, future premiums will be waived off. Means, you no need to pay future premiums. This benefit will be offered based on the proposer’s age, personal declaration and other related documents.

If proposer commits suicide within 12 months of policy commencement, then this benefit will not be available. In addition, this benefit ceases in case of lapsed/paid up condition.

Whether you have to buy this plan?

As I said in my review of New Children’s Money Back Plan (Table No.832), here also the life risk is on your kid. So think twice whether Life Insurance required for your kid or not. LIC is offering PWB benefit. However, the life risk will be on your kid.

Life Insurance coverage required on the earning member who has financial depends. In this case, it is on kid’s name. Strange but few falls to trap as this is called children plan. If death occurs to parents then kid’s future education or marriage goals affect. However, if death occurs of the kid then parents will not suffer any financial loss. Hence, Life Insurance must be on parents, but not on the kid.

As of now, the premium chart is not available. However, this being a typical endowment plan, I expect a return of 6% to 7%. Currently, education inflation is hovering around 9% to 10%. I feel this plan will not generate enough wealth to meet your kids’ education goal. Think twice before proceeding to buy this plan.

The only new feature they inserted as unique is survival benefits. Some percentage of the sum assured will be payable to you upfront and the rest will be for the next 5 years as yearly instalment. However, in case you chosen Option No.4 then they immediately pay you 25% of Sum Assured+Bonus+FAB. Rest 75% of Sum Assured will be disbursed as yearly 15% of the sum assured for next 5 Yrs. You notice that remaining 75% of Sum Assured they keep with them and pay 15% yearly up to 5 yrs. However, they will not add a single rupee on this. Hence, it will be idle with them. I suggest choosing Option No.1, where you get the full sum assured. Once you get it, then you can park it FDs kind of product then it will earn some interest than keeping money idle with LIC.

    Dear Mr Basavraj,

    Would like to draw your attention towards you going wrong in your analysis of Jeevan Tarun Plan. You have mentioned in the last paragraph:

    “However, in case you chosen Option No.4 then they immediately pay you 25% of Sum Assured+Bonus+FAB. Rest 75% of Sum Assured will be disbursed as yearly 15% of the sum assured for next 5 Yrs. You notice that remaining 75% of Sum Assured they keep with them and pay 15% yearly up to 5 yrs. However, they will not add a single rupee on this. Hence, it will be idle with them. I suggest choosing Option No.1, where you get the full sum assured. Once you get it, then you can park it FDs kind of product then it will earn some interest than keeping money idle with LIC.”

    This is completely different from actual payment schedule which is as follows:

    Survival benefit is payable from age 20 to 24 years in all options 1, 2, 3, 4.

    MATURITY BENEFIT is payable at AGE 25 YEARS, which means the actual situation would be just reverse of what you said & it would be as follows:

    “However, in case you chosen Option No.4, then 75% of Sum Assured will be disbursed as yearly 15% of the sum assured for next 5 Yrs (20 to 24 years). You notice that remaining 25% of Sum Assured they keep with them and pay Bonus + FAB for FULL SUM ASSURED FOR COMPLETE 25 YEARS.”

    I would advise you to take precautions while doing any type of analysis & posting it anywhere as people make their opinions based on whatever you write whether correct or incorrect, so you must be extra cautious.

        Plz don’t deviate from the topic. I have just used the words you were using but in the correct prospective as per correct information, so what’s the problem? You should accept that you wrongly analyzed it. There shouldn’t be any problem in accepting your mistakes. Its pretty easy to find other’s mistakes & criticize it but very difficult to accept own. I am just asking you to accept yours & just be careful in future.

            I am also again saying, you are not replying to what I said but just deviating from the topic I raised. Whether it changes the whole return aspect & feature is different point of discussion. The point right now is being factually correct or wrong in your analysis. Its your choice if you wish to accept it or not.

      Sanjay-First buy term insurance online (to the tune of 15-20 times of your yearly income), health insurance for family, accidental insurance and emergency fund of at least 6-12 months of household expenses. Once these are ready, then start investing in PPF (30% of what you want to invest for your kid’s future) and rest 70% in below said mutual funds.
      Franklin India Bluechip Fund, ICICI Pru Discovery and Franklin Prima Fund.

      there must be endorsement of term rider on the bond, if its not there then get it done from your servicing branch.

    Good analysis, thanks, don’t know how these kind of policies are allowed, especially considering that a child plan has the child as life assured instead of parent what will parents do with money if child dies ? And what will the child do for education food if parent dies ?,

    Think a simple term plan for the working parent + a SIP in equity fund in the name of child for say 15 years plus could work wonders instead of this.

I sold 73 policies but could not sell a single Term plan…… Anyways, I am trying my best……..

    Hello I took endowement assurance policy in 2010 and paid around 84022 in premiums till now
    It is split into 24 different premiums of small amounts (each endowment assurance policy) and i would be getting a small amount after 50yrs of age till 73 yrs. Ultimately it acts like a pension plan
    But after checking the minus’ of Endowment policies, i feel that i should invest that money in somethin else
    What is your suggestion
    How much return money I get if I paid up the policy ?
    If I paid up the policy than what could be the intrest rate I got in maturity time?
