Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) launched a plan last month called LIC BACHAT PLUS. It is a non-linked (not linked to the stock market), Individual Life Assurance Saving Plan. In this policy, if the policy holder dies before maturity, the nominee gets a hefty amount. If he stays alive then the policy holder gets the benefit of maturity in which there is also a loyalty edition. It is issued every year by LIC.
This policy has been launched on 15 March 2021 and will be sold for only 180 days. Meaning you only have the chance to buy it till 15 September 2021. Tax exemption under 80C can be availed on purchasing this plan and the return is also tax free. In this plan, two options for premium payment have been given. You can deposit a lump sum premium in Single Premium. Two options have also been given under this. Another is the option of Limited Premium which is for five years. Two options are also given in this. In this way, there are a total of four options for depositing premium. For ease of understanding, it can be considered as four different policies because their features are different. The minimum sum assured is 1 lakh rupees, which is equal to all four. There is no limit for maximum sum assured.

For the first option in limited premium it will be ten times the annual tabular premium and for the second option it will be seven times the annual tabular premium.
Tax benefit
Talking about the rule of tax, the first option of single premium and limited premium in which the death benefit is ten times the annual premium, the premium is exempted under 80C. Maturity is also tax free. If you buy a policy for the purpose of investment and insurance cover, then you should choose another option of single and limited premium.
