The LIC’s Tech Term Plan was launched in 2019 and has become one of the most prominent plans to provide the best benefits and features to the people of India. It is a pure life cover policy that is available only through online channels. Upon the purchase of plans and payment of premiums, the beneficiary is liable to be paid a basic sum assured which is equal to the premiums paid.

Key features:

• The LIC Tech Term Plan is available only through online portals

Benefits under the LIC’s Tech Term Plan:

There are several levels of benefits that are provided under this plan which are categorized in the following paragraphs:

• Option 1: Sum Assured – In the event of death, the sum assured will be absolute and remains the same through the policy period
• Option 2: Increasing sum assured-The absolute sum assured remains the same for the first years of the date of commencement. After this, the rate of basic sum assured increases by 10% from the 6^th to the 15^th year of the policy. This happens every year until the new sum assured becomes twice the basic sum assured. On completion of the 15^th year, from the 16^th year, the new sum assured will remain the same for the rest of the policy term.
