  • Death Benefit: SA + bonuses
  • Best For: Lump sum goals like education, marriage, or home purchase

🔸 Jeevan Anand

  • Premium: ~₹4,800/year × 20 years = ₹96,000
  • Maturity Benefit: ₹1,00,000 + bonuses (~₹40–60K)
  • Post-Maturity Cover: Continues lifelong
  • Best For: Dual benefit—maturity payout + lifelong protection

🧠 Which Policy Suits Whom?

  • For Amma (Cardiac & Diabetic): Jeevan Utsav offers short premium term and lifelong income—ideal for post-retirement peace.
  • For Siri & Sindhu (Daughters): Jeevan Labh helps build a corpus for education or marriage.
  • For Yourself: Jeevan Anand ensures maturity benefit and continued protection—perfect for a family pillar like you.

🛡️ Common Features Across All Three

  • ✅ Loan facility after 1–2 years
  • ✅ Tax benefits under Section 80C and 10(10D)
  • ✅ Optional riders for accident, critical illness, and premium waiver
  • ✅ Grace period for missed premiums (15–30 days)

🧣 Final Thought: Insurance as Legacy

In our kutumba, insurance isn’t just about numbers—it’s about nurturing continuity. Whether it’s Amma’s comfort, Siri’s dreams, or your own quiet strength, the right LIC policy becomes a living blessing.
