Benefits of Aadhaar Stambh Plan

Here are some of the key benefits of this plan that will help you to understand the plan better. You must go through them and see how they are helpful for you.

Death Benefits

In case of unfortunate death of the insured the nominee is entitled to receive the death benefits.

If the insured dies during the first five years then the Sum Assured on death will be payable to the nominee. But if the insured dies after 5 years then the company will pay the Sum Assured and Loyalty benefits as well to the nominee.

The value of the Death Benefit will be the highest of the following:-

1. Basic Sum Assured
2. 7 times of the annualized premium

The death benefit will never be less than 105% of the total premiums paid up to the time of death.

Maturity Benefits

If the insured successfully survives the policy term then he is entitled to receive the following:-

1. Sum Assured on Maturity
2. Loyalty Additions

Loyalty Additions

If the insured has completed 5 policy years successfully and has paid all the premiums then the company will give loyalty additions to the insured. The value of the sum assured will keep on increasing once the loyalty additions have been made and the insured will receive the loyalty additions after the completion of the policy term.

Option to Take Death Benefits in Instalments

The LIC Aadhaar Stambh Plan allows the nominee to take the death benefits in installments. You can take the death benefits for the time span of 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years. It is not mandatory to take the benefits as a lump sum. Here are the different minimum amounts for different payment modes.

1. Monthly Rs.5000
2. Quarterly Rs.15000
3. Half-Yearly Rs.25000
4. Yearly Rs.50000

Various Modes for Paying the Premium

LIC gives you different payment frequency modes for paying the premium and they are on a yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, and monthly basis. You can use the NACH facility to make the payment of your premium amount in which the company will deduct the premium amount automatically from your account on the due date.

Grace Period

If in case you fail to make the payment of the premium on time then the company will give you a grace period of 30 days to make the payment. A grace period of 30 days is only allowed if you have chosen premium paying frequency yearly, quarterly, and half-yearly. If you are paying the premium monthly then the company will give a grace period of 15 days.

Revival Benefit

You will get a revival benefit in this policy that means if the policy is lapsed due to the non-payment of the premium within the grace period then the company gives you a time of 5 consecutive years to make the payment of all the arrears including the interest and revive the lapsed plan.

Paid-up Benefits

If you discontinue making the payment of the premium after paying it regularly for 2 years then you will get the paid-up value. On the other hand, your death benefits and the maturity benefits will be reduced if you discontinue the payment of the premiums after 2 years of the policy term.

Surrender Benefits

In case of an emergency, you can surrender the Aadhaar Stambh Plan and take the surrender value. But the company allows you to surrender the policy only if you have paid all the premiums for 2 years without missing any premium. So, surrendering the policy during the policy term is allowed in this plan but on the condition that you have paid all the premiums for 2 policy years.

Loan Against Policy

If you don’t want to surrender the policy and still need some funds then you can take a loan against the policy from the company. But you are allowed to take a loan against the policy only if you have paid all the premiums for 2 policy years. The company will charge the applicable interest on the loan borrowed against the policy.

The maximum loan amount will be:-

1. Up to 90% in the case of in force policies
2. Up to 80% in the case of paid-up policies
