LIC Bima Jyoti Plan Example 

Let us understand this plan with the help of an example:

Suppose Amar who is 40 years old buys this plan with the following parameters.

Sum Assured = Rs. 10,00,000
Policy Term = 15 years
Premium Payment Term = 10 years
Based on this the yearly premium will be Rs. 1,13,217 + Taxes
Since his age is greater than 8 years at the time of taking the plan, the risk cover will start immediately.

Scenario 1 
Amar dies after 7 years of paying the premium.
Every year Guaranteed Additions will be added as follows:
Rs. 50 per 1,000 Sum Assured. So every year 50 x 10,00,000/1,000 = Rs. 50,000 will be added as Guaranteed Additions. So for 7 years the accumulated Guaranteed Additions will be Rs. 3,50,000.

His nominee will get the Death Benefit which is higher of the following and the Guaranteed Additions:
7 times the Annualised Premium = Rs. 7,92,519
125% of Basic Sum Assured = 1.25 x 10,00,000 = Rs. 12,50,000Clearly Rs. 12,50,000 is higher, so the nominee will get Rs. 3,50,000 + 12,50,000 = Rs. 16,00,000 as the Death Benefit.

Also, if Amar dies anytime after the premium payment term, his nominee will get the Death Benefit and the policy will terminate.

Scenario 2 
Amar survives for 20 years, when the policy matures.
He will get the Sum Assured + Accumulated Guaranteed Additions of 20 years.
Sum Assured = Rs. 10,00,000
Guaranteed Additions = 20 x 50,000 = Rs. 10,00,000
So he gets Rs. 20,00,000 as the Maturity Amount.
