It is a Participating, Non-Linked plan that combines guaranteed death protection with savings growth through annual bonuses and a Final Additional Bonus (FAB) at maturity.

The 3 Policy Term Options — Side-by-Side
How Premium Calculation Works
LIC Jeevan Labh uses a standard tabular premium system with three adjustments applied sequentially:
- Tabular Annual Premium — a rate per ₹1 lakh BSA, varying by age and policy term, looked up from LIC’s actuarial rate table.
- Mode Rebate — deducted for yearly (2%) or half-yearly (1%) payment. Quarterly and monthly attract no rebate.
- High SA Rebate — deducted for larger Sum Assured: 2‰ for ₹5L–₹10L; 3.5‰ for ₹10L and above.
The resulting Net Annual Premium is then divided by the mode frequency (1/2/4/12) to get the instalment amount. GST is added at 4.5% in Year 1 and 2.25% from Year 2 onwards.
Maturity Benefit Formula
On survival to the end of the policy term, you receive:
- Basic Sum Assured (BSA) — the full guaranteed amount
- + Vested Simple Reversionary Bonuses — declared by LIC each year; accrues over the entire policy term (not just PPT)
- + Final Additional Bonus (FAB) — a one-time terminal bonus declared at maturity/death for policies in force for a minimum number of years
Death Benefit
In case of death during the policy term (including the premium-free period), the nominee receives:
- Sum Assured on Death = Higher of BSA or 10× annualized premium (age < 45) / 7× annualized premium (age ≥ 45)
- + Vested Bonuses (accrued up to the year of death)
- + Final Additional Bonus (if applicable)
- Floor: Total death benefit is always ≥ 105% of total premiums paid

- A policy loan of up to 90% of the surrender value is available without surrendering the policy.
Tax Benefits
