Premium Comparison:-

The Yearly premium for LIC online term plan for 50 lacs sum assured is Rs 8,202 (for 30 yrs old male and for 30 yrs term) In below chart I tried to compare LIC’s online plan with other online term plan available in market. Interestingly compare to other private insurance term plan LIC e-Term plan is costlier. Age 30 years Term 30 Years, Risk cover 50 Lacs. LIC e-Term Premium Should I buy this Policy?

Cost:-

If you look at only cost LIC e-Term is costly affair. We have better other online term plan in market like SBI life e-shield or HDFC click 2 Protect. Compare to existing offline term plans of LIC – Jeevan Amulya 2 this plan looks cheaper.

Claim Settlement Ratio:-

LIC offers highest claim settlement ratio last year LIC claim settlement ratio was 97.3%. Claim settlement ratio of private insurance companies like HDFC, SBI, ICICI is around 90%. So from claim settlement point of view e-Term is better.

If you have not purchased any term plan and you have apprehension in purchasing term plan from private insurance company LIC e-Term is for you.

Other Important Points:-

  • No accidental benefit rider.
  • Maximum age is up to 75 Yrs.
  • No additional riders.
  • Medical test is must.
  • We have no experience about service level of LIC in terms of Online term plan.
