Death Benefits in LIC’s New Plan Aadhaar Shila 

During the first 5 years of policy:

The Sum Assured on Death will be paid to the nominee, which is 110% of the Basic Sum Assured. The Basic Sum Assured essentially means the assured sum while buying the plan.

After completion of 5 years of policy but before the date of maturity:

The Sum Assured on Death and Loyalty addition (if any) will be paid to the nominee of the Life Assured. The death benefit will not be less than 105% of all the premium paid in the policy as on date of death of the life assured. A good point here is, no taxes or extra amount due to underwriting decision and rider premium, will be levied on the said premium.

LIC Aadhaar Shila No.844 Review: Should You Go For It?

From the details available, this new LIC policy seems to be another typical Endowment Plan from the Life Insurance Corporation of India. There is nothing new in this, except the extended auto cover feature. Also the life cover assured is too low. It seems that LIC has come up with a new name to attract the rural population.
