Policyholders have two options to choose from:
Joint life annuity with 100 percent return of purchase price on the demise of the last survivor
In the first option, the annuity payments will continue until the policyholder is alive. In the event of the policyholder's demise, the annuity payments cease, and the nominee receives 100 percent of the purchase price.
The second option involves annuity payments as long as either the policyholder or their spouse is alive. If both pass away, the annuity payments stop, and the nominee receives the outstanding amount.
The policy can be purchased by individuals with a minimum age of 40 and a maximum age of 80.
Policyholders can choose to receive annuity payments monthly, quarterly, or annually.
For instance, a 60-year-old individual investing Rs. 10 lakh and opting for an annual annuity mode could receive Rs. 58,950 annually.
Interested individuals can purchase the policy online and offline through LIC's official website, www.licindia.in.
