Your money will be blocked for ever in this plan. There is no surrender values. There are many hidden clauses . DONT BELIEVE OR TRUST LIC PEOPLE.

Dear Sir,
I am Madhu, an LIC Advisor. People will have different opinion but LIC is ONE. So, its up to you to trust or not to trust.
Coming back to your question:
Your Single Premium would be: Rs. 5,09,000
Monthly Pension would be: 3367 approx
Your Wife’s Single Premium would be: Rs. 5,09,000
Monthly Pension would be: Rs. 3042 approx
The above example is for 15 years term. If the proposer is alive after the term, then the amount will be given back to you. Else, your nominee will get it. Since, you are getting the interest amount as pension every month.. You will get your 509000 as final returns.
Thanks,
Madhu
