LIC Jeevan Lakshya (Plan No. 933, UIN 512N297V02) is a non‑linked, with‑profits, limited‑premium endowment plan focused on protecting a family’s lifestyle, especially children’s needs, if the breadwinner dies before maturity. It combines three elements: a lump‑sum maturity value, an immediate death benefit, and a guaranteed annual income to the nominee from the year of death till policy maturity.
Key features
- With‑profits, limited‑premium endowment: Premiums are payable for policy term minus three years, while cover continues for the full term.
- Family income protection: On the life assured’s death during the term, 10% of Basic Sum Assured is paid every year till one year before maturity, in addition to a lump sum at maturity.
- Lump‑sum maturity: If the life assured survives the term, Basic Sum Assured plus bonuses (and final additional bonus, if any) are paid.
- With‑profits: Eligible for simple reversionary bonuses and final additional bonus as declared by LIC, boosting overall returns.
- Settlement options: Death/maturity benefits can, subject to conditions, be taken as instalments instead of lump sum.
- Optional riders: Up to three riders (only one accident‑related rider) like Accident Benefit, Accidental Death & Disability Rider, New Term Assurance Rider, and Critical Illness Rider can be added for enhanced protection.

Benefits at a glance
Death benefit (during policy term)
If the life assured dies during the policy term and the policy is in force, three components typically apply:
- Immediate lump‑sum “Sum Assured on Death”
- Annual Income Benefit
- Maturity Benefit (in addition)
This structure ensures both immediate funding and ongoing income for the family while still preserving the final goal‑corpus at maturity.
Maturity benefit (on survival)
If the life assured survives till the end of policy term and all premiums are paid:
- Basic Sum Assured, plus
- Vested simple reversionary bonuses, plus
- Final additional bonus, if declared,
are paid as a lump sum.
Who should consider LIC Jeevan Lakshya?
- Parents and young breadwinners who want an income‑oriented protection plan where children continue to receive yearly income and a lump‑sum for future goals after their demise.
- Families who prefer traditional, bonus‑based plans but want stronger income‑replacement features compared to standard endowment policies.
- Clients who already have basic term cover and want an additional structured plan specifically aligned to children’s education and lifestyle security.
Example: A 35‑year‑old parent takes a 20‑year Jeevan Lakshya with ₹20 lakh Basic Sum Assured; in case of early death, the family receives an immediate lump sum, 2 lakh per year (10% of SA) till maturity, and at maturity the nominee still gets ₹20 lakh plus bonuses, effectively ring‑fencing children’s future funding.
