In a move that offers both financial security and wealth creation, the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has introduced its premium investment-cum-insurance policy — Jeevan Shiromani. This plan is tailored for high-income individuals looking for a secure long-term investment with assured returns and life cover.
LIC’s Jeevan Shiromani is a non-linked, with-profit, money-back plan, offering a minimum assured sum of ₹1 crore, with no upper limit. Policyholders need to pay premiums for only 4 years, making it a limited premium payment policy with long-term benefits.
This scheme is especially ideal for those who want to grow their capital safely while also ensuring financial protection for their families.
Minimum Sum Assured: ₹1 Crore
Maximum Sum Assured: No Limit
Premium Payment Term: Only 4 Years
Policy Term Options: 14, 16, 18, and 20 Years
Entry Age: Minimum 18 Years
Maximum Age: Varies based on policy term
14 years: up to 55 years
16 years: up to 51 years
18 years: up to 48 years
20 years: up to 45 years
If you’re targeting a sum assured of ₹1 crore, you may need to invest approximately ₹94,000 per month for four years. However, LIC provides flexibility in premium payments — monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annually — based on your preference.
This policy acts like a money-back plan, where periodic payouts are made during the term, and the remaining sum is paid on maturity:
14-Year Policy: 30% of the sum assured in the 10th & 12th year
16-Year Policy: 35% in the 12th & 14th year
18-Year Policy: 40% in the 14th & 16th year
20-Year Policy: 45% in the 16th & 18th year
The balance amount is paid at maturity along with bonuses.
The Jeevan Shiromani policy comes with in-built critical illness coverage. If diagnosed with a listed severe illness, 10% of the sum assured is paid immediately. Additionally, loans can be availed after 1 year, provided premiums are up to date. The loan amount depends on the policy's surrender value, and interest rates are decided by LIC from time to time.
In the unfortunate event of the policyholder's demise during the term, the nominee receives the sum assured along with bonuses, making it a robust protection tool for families.
