How does LIC Jeevan Amar work?

Choice of Cover - You have the option of selecting this option at the time of purchase.

• Level Sum Assured - Here the cover amount will remain the same throughout the policy term. 
• Increasing Sum Assured - Here the cover amount will increase with the policy term. There will be no change in the cover amount in the first 5 years. This will be called the Basic Sum Assured (BSA). The cover amount will increase by 10% of the BSA every year, for the next 15 years or the end of the policy term (whichever is earlier). After that, the cover amount will not increase. The increase Sum Assured will be capped at 2 times the Basic Sum Assured. 

Premium payments - Depending on your comfort levels you can choose to make premiums based on the following:

• Single Premium - Pay just once and enjoy the cover throughout the policy term without worrying about any future payments. Best for those who do not have a source of regular predictable income and have cash-in-hand now. 
• Regular Premium - In this option, you have to pay every year, throughout the policy term. So if you have chosen a term till the age of 80, you will have to make payments till that time
• Limited Premiums - This option has become popular with the onset for longer policy terms. Best for those who want to finish paying their premiums during their working years or immediately after that and continue enjoying the cover for the full term. You can choose a premium payment term as follows:
• Policy term minus 5 years
• Policy term minus 10 years

Death Benefit Payout - You can choose to have the death benefit payable to the nominee in lumpsum or in parts.

• Lumpsum Payout - The entire death benefit of Sum Assured will be paid to the nominee at one go.
• Installment Payouts - You can also choose to have part of the death benefit in lumpsum and the balance in installments over a period of 5, 10 or 15 years. This mode can be useful in case you want to maintain a regular cash flow for your loved ones.

Rider - You can choose to take the Accidental Death Benefit Rider by paying an extra amount. In case of death due to accident, you will get the Rider benefit in addition to the Sum Assured in the plan.
