Market Plus Plan
This is a unit linked pension plan wherein the pension is payable after a   specified period.  Four types of investment Funds namely Bond, Secured, Balanced and Growth Fund are offered. Though primarily a Pension product, the plan has many attractive features and options which make it an ideal Retirement solution for the future.
Benefits
A) On Vesting :
On   vesting of the policy, the Fund Value will be utilized to provide a pension based on the then prevailing Annuity rates. An option to commute upto one third of the payable benefit in a lump sum is available.

B) On Death :
 In event of the unfortunate death of the policy holder the Fund Value along with the Riders, if any,  will be payable in a lump sum or as a pension.
Options
Three attractive benefits, viz. - Life Cover, Accident Benefit and Critical Illness Benefit are available as options or riders. Life option is available within certain limits depending on the age at entry of the life assured. The other options are available to all proposers who have opted for Life Cover. The quantum of the risk covers can also be reduced; subject to the minimum limits, once a year. A policy can be taken without any of the riders also.
Revival
An attractive feature of the plan is that provided the premiums have been paid for a minimum period of three years, all the riders under the policy will continue for a period of two years from the due date of first unpaid premium by deduction of relevant charges from the policy fund. This period of two years is called the “Revival Period”. Further, if premiums have been paid for a minimum period of three years, revival can be effected merely by paying the arrears of premium, within the Revival Period.
Payment of Premiums
Premiums can be paid in a lump sum (single premium) and also by monthly(ECS), quarterly, half-yearly and yearly modes.
Changes in Fund type (Switch)
The plan also allows a policy holder to switch from one type of fund to another upto four times a year, free of charge.
Other Features
There will be no spread between the Bid and Offer price. The Net Asset Value (NAV) will be declared on a daily basis. Additional premium in multiples of Rs.1,000 can be paid without any limit at anytime during the term of policy.

The above information is only a gist of the benefits/features of the plan. For further details please refer to the sales brochure available with our agents / offices.

Statutory Warning
Some benefits are guaranteed and some benefits are variable with returns based on the future performance of your life insurance company.  If your policy offers guaranteed returns then these will be clearly marked "guaranteed" in the illustration table on this page. If your policy offers variable returns then the illustrations on this page will show two different rates of assumed investment returns. These assumed rates return are not guaranteed and they are not upper or lower limits of what you might get back as the value of your policy is dependent on a number of factors including future investment performance.

Note :
  • This illustration is applicable to a non-smoker male/female standard (from medical, life style and occupation point of view) life
  • The non-guaranteed benefits in the above illustrations are calculated so that they are consistent with the Projected Investment Rate of Return assumption of 6% p.a. (scenario 1) and 10% p.a. (scenario 2) respectively.  In other words, in preparing this benefit illustration, it is assumed that the Projected Investment Rate of Return that LICI will be able to earn throughout the term of the policy will be 6% p.a. (scenario 1) or 10% p.a. (scenario 2), as the case may be.  The Projected Investment Rate of Return is not guaranteed
  • The main objective of the illustration is that the client is able to appreciate the features of the product and the flow of benefits in different circumstances with some level of quantification
