What Is LIC New Tech-Term?
LIC's New Tech-Term is a non-linked, non-participating pure term assurance plan sold primarily through online/digital channels, offering a high life cover at a comparatively low premium, with different premium rates for different sum assured bands and, on some variants, different rates for smokers/non-smokers where applicable.
Key Features
- Pure protection — no maturity benefit if the life assured survives the term
- High sum assured available relative to premium, especially at higher cover bands
- Choice of level cover or, where offered, increasing/decreasing cover options
- Option to add riders such as accidental death benefit, subject to current availability
Who May Consider This Plan
- Anyone prioritising maximum life cover for their family at the lowest possible premium
- Salaried professionals and self-employed individuals establishing a protection foundation before adding savings plans
Important Considerations
Term plans pay nothing on survival — this is by design, to keep premiums low. If you also want a savings/maturity component, this is usually better achieved by combining a term plan with a separate endowment or child plan rather than expecting one plan to do both efficiently.
Example Scenario
Illustrative only: A 30-year-old non-smoker choosing a large sum assured for a 30-year term would pay a level annual premium for pure protection, with no payout if they survive the term. Exact premiums vary by sum assured, term, health and lifestyle factors — request a quote for real figures.
