Comprehensive Details & Benefits Guide (Discontinued October 2024)
Most policyholders invest in Life Insurance with the best intentions for their families. But here is a harsh reality: very few actually understand how to maximize their returns, simply because they do not fully grasp the policy rules. They pay their premiums year after year, hoping for the best, without leveraging the true power of their investment.
If you live in Chhanibari (PIN Code: 335511), or the surrounding Bhadra tehsil in Hanumangarh, this guide is your financial roadmap.
Important Note: LIC officially launched this specific policy on December 20, 2021, and discontinued it for new sales in October 2024. If you were smart enough to secure this policy before it closed, congratulations—you are holding one of the most reliable assets in the Indian insurance market. Today, we are breaking down the complete LIC Bima Jyoti Plan 860 details so you can stop guessing and start taking control of your family’s financial destiny.
Before looking at the payout numbers, we must understand the DNA of this policy. What makes it so special compared to modern, market-linked investments?
LIC's Bima Jyoti (UIN: 512N339V02) is a Non-Linked, Non-Participating, Individual, Life Assurance Savings Plan.
This plan offers an attractive combination of protection and savings. At its core, this plan provides financial support for the family in case of unfortunate death of the policyholders during the policy term and guaranteed lumpsum payment to the surviving policyholder at the time of maturity.
While this plan is no longer available for new buyers, existing policyholders in Chhanibari often ask us if they should continue paying their premiums. The answer is a resounding "Yes" if you fit into any of these categories:
To properly manage your active policy, you must keep track of your specific premium paying term, which is unique in this plan.
| Minimum Age at Entry | 90 days (Completed) |
|---|---|
| Maximum Age at Entry | 60 Years (Age Nearer Birthday) |
| Minimum Age at Maturity | 18 years (Completed) |
| Maximum Age at Maturity | 75 Years (Age Nearer Birthday) |
| Policy Term | Ranges from 15 to 20 years |
| Premium Paying Term | Policy Term minus 5 Years (E.g. Pay for 15 years for a 20-year term) |
| Minimum Basic Sum Assured | ?1,00,000 (multiples of ?25,000/-) |
Let us look closely at how this policy financially defends your family and rewards your savings discipline. The LIC Bima Jyoti benefits are uniquely structured to provide absolute certainty.
This is the heart of the Bima Jyoti plan. Unlike other policies where bonuses fluctuate, this plan contractually guarantees your growth.
Provided the policy is in-force by payment of due premiums, Guaranteed Additions at the rate of Rs. 50 per thousand Basic Sum Assured will be added to the policy at the end of each policy year.
Local Example: If a shop owner in Chhanibari secured a Basic Sum Assured of Rs. 10 Lakhs, LIC guarantees to add Rs. 50,000 to his policy value at the end of every single year, regardless of the economy. Over a 20-year term, that translates to an absolutely guaranteed Rs. 10 Lakhs in pure additions alone!
Warning: In case the premiums are not duly paid, the Guaranteed Additions shall cease to accrue under a policy.
If the worst were to happen, the financial shock to your family in Rajasthan would be fully absorbed. On death during the policy term after the date of commencement of risk, the payout consists of the "Sum Assured on Death" and Accrued Guaranteed Additions.
The "Sum Assured on Death" is defined as higher of 125% of Basic Sum Assured or 7 times of annualised premium. To ensure you never lose value, the Death Benefit shall not be less than 105% of the total Premiums paid up to the date of death.
On Life Assured surviving the stipulated Date of Maturity provided the policy is in-force, "Sum Assured on Maturity" along with Guaranteed Additions, shall be payable. Under this specific plan, the "Sum Assured on Maturity" is exactly equal to the Basic Sum Assured.
Many policyholders in Bhadra opted to enhance their base coverage with powerful riders by payment of an additional premium. Check your policy document to see if you have these active:
Premiums can be paid regularly at yearly, half-yearly, quarterly or monthly intervals. A grace period of 30 days shall be allowed for payment of yearly/half-yearly/quarterly premiums and 15 days for monthly premiums.
If the premium is not paid before the expiry of the days of grace, the Policy lapses. However, a lapsed policy can be revived within a period of 5 consecutive years from the date of First Unpaid Premium but before the date of maturity.
This plan also takes care of liquidity needs through its loan facility. Loan can be availed under the policy provided atleast two full years premiums have been paid.
Receiving a massive sum of money at once can be overwhelming. The Settlement Option allows you to receive Maturity Benefit or Death Benefit in instalments over the chosen period of 5 or 10 or 15 years instead of lump sum amount. The minimum instalment amount for Monthly is Rs. 5,000/-, Quarterly is Rs. 15,000/-, Half-Yearly is Rs. 25,000/-, and Yearly is Rs. 50,000/-.
Delay in premium payment or policy updates can lead to devastating financial loss. A lapsed policy means your guaranteed additions immediately stop compounding.

On Life Assured surviving the stipulated Date of Maturity provided the policy is in-force, "Sum Assured on Maturity" along with Guaranteed Additions, shall be payable. The "Sum Assured on Maturity" is exactly equal to your Basic Sum Assured.
