                                                              Jeevan Shree-I
This is an Endowment Assurance plan offering the choice of many convenient premium paying terms. It provides financial protection against death throughout the term of plan with the payment of maturity amount on survival to the end of the policy term.
Premiums:
Premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or through Salary deductions, as opted by you, throughout the premium paying term or till earlier death. Alternatively premium may be paid in one lump sum (Single premium).

Guaranteed Additions:
The policy provides for the Guaranteed Additions at the rate of Rs. 50/- per thousand Sum Assured for each completed year for first five years of the policy. The Guaranteed Additions are payable along with the Basic Sum Assured at the time of claim.

Bonuses:
The policy participates in the profits of the Corporation’s life insurance business from the 6th year onwards. It will get a share of the profits in the form of bonuses. Simple Reversionary Bonuses will be declared per thousand Basic Sum Assured annually at the end of each financial year. Once declared, they will form part of the guaranteed benefits of the plan.

Salient Features
  • It requires an annual premium payment for 16 years, with the premium linked to the sum assured and the age of the applicant. LIC insists on a `simple' medical examination for the Jeevan Shree.
  • The premium payments stop after 16 years, but the returns, a lumpsum, come at the end of the 25th year.
  • Though the premium payment stops after the 16th year, the insurance cover continues till the 25th year.
  • The risk cover - amount paid to nominees in case the policyholder fails to survive the policy's duration - increases with time. If, for instance, the risk cover is for Rs 5 lakh at the outset, the size of the cover increases with the passage of time to account for the returns on the investment made by LIC.
