LIC Anmol Jeevan - 1

Objective

This is a pure term plan that pays sum assured on death of the insured. The plan does not pay any surrender or maturity value.

Our View

A pure term policy is a definite buy for everyone.
LIC charges higher premiums as compared to other insurers. Nonetheless  the policy can be valuable for those in the substandard life category, unable to get insurance protection from other insurers.
You can take this policy if you are willing to shell out high premiums for nominal coverage.
This policy can be continued only till 65 years of age.

Suited for

This policy can be taken to insure physically impaired individuals apart from standard lives.

What does it do?

Apart from standard lives, this plan can cover substandard lives and physically handicapped persons too.
LIC defines substandard life as a person whose life is at higher risk because of any existing physical condition, family or personal history of disease, occupation, residence in unhealthy climate or dangerous habits.

Pros

The policy gives rebate at 1 per cent to policies that pay premium annually.

The policy covers substandard lives and physically handicapped persons as well.

Premiums qualify for taxation benefits.

Cons

Maximum sum assured is limited to Rs 25 lakh. Thus, the plan is not suitable for anyone who needs higher coverage.

The plan does not offer any rider(s) for enhanced protection.
