LIC’s Jeevan Raksha is a non-participating, non-linked individual pure-risk life insurance plan, Plan 894 (UIN 512N368V01), available for sale from September 2026. It is designed to provide financial protection to the family if the life assured dies during the policy term while the policy is in force. The Basic Sum Assured ranges from ₹5 lakh to ₹24 lakh per life, subject to LIC’s underwriting rules. Entry age is 18 to 45 years, and the cover must end by age 60. Policy terms range from 15 to 42 years, with a minimum 20-year term for the 15-year Limited Premium option. Premium-payment choices include Regular Premium, Limited Premium for 10 or 15 years, and Single Premium. The plan offers different rates for women and for smokers and non-smokers, as well as a high-sum-assured rebate and an online-purchase rebate where eligible. There is no maturity benefit if the insured survives the term. LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider can be selected for additional protection under eligible Regular and Limited Premium policies.
Pure-risk protection with Regular, Limited or Single Premium options and an optional Accident Benefit Rider on eligible policies.
Jeevan Raksha may suit buyers who need a straightforward term-insurance policy with a smaller cover amount and several premium-payment choices. Its ₹5 lakh to ₹24 lakh cover range makes it different from LIC plans designed for substantially higher life cover. Under Regular and Limited Premium policies, the Sum Assured on Death is the higher of seven times the annualised premium or the Basic Sum Assured, and the death benefit cannot be less than 105% of total premiums paid, subject to the policy wording. For Single Premium policies, the Sum Assured on Death is the higher of 125% of the single premium or the Basic Sum Assured. The optional Accident Benefit Rider can provide an additional benefit but is not available with Single Premium policies and has separate age and remaining-term conditions. Buyers should check the actual premium quote, policy term and eligibility before applying. This is pure-risk insurance, so no maturity payout is made on survival.
