If the policyholder survives until the policy's maturity date, the "Sum Assured on Maturity," which is equal to the "Basic Sum Assured," will be paid out.

This rider can be added to an active policy anytime during the premium-paying term, but at least 5 years must remain on both the base plan and the rider.

How is it beneficial? 

It proves beneficial in two scenarios: 

    • Accidental Death
      If the policyholder dies in an accident, a lump sum (Accidental Benefit Sum Assured) is paid along with the base plan's death benefit. 
    • Accidental Disability
      If the investor becomes disabled due to an accident (within 180 days of the accident), an amount equal to the Accidental Benefit Sum Assured is paid in 4 equal monthly installments over 10 years. 

Future premiums for the Accidental Benefit Sum Assured and the corresponding Basic Sum Assured under the base plan will be waived.

  • LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider

LIC’s Accident Benefit Rider can be added to an active policy anytime during the premium-paying term. If the policyholder dies in an accident, the Accident Benefit Sum Assured is paid in a lump sum along with the base plan's death benefit. 

  • LIC’s Premium Waiver Benefit Rider

If the proposer dies during the policy term, future premiums of the policy will be waived until the end of the rider term.
