Main Benefit of this plan

1.    One time premium payment assures you cover for 12 years. No annual payment obligation.

2.    Unlike Pure Term Plan the premium paid by you is not zero rather come backs to you with a assured post tax return of 7.66% (Tax impact is nil as maturity proceeds are exempt u/s 10(10D). 

3.    Non ULIP Plan.

4.    The assured return of 7.66% is much better than return of FD whose interest of 8% can be reduced to 5.6% post tax. Plus this plans also give you life coverage which FD won’t. 

5.    If you are going for long run period of 12 years it better to opt for LIC than any other private players. With the kind of asset base LIC have, we can be really sure that it will be there to repay you at the end of 12 years.
