New Delhi: The Postal Service offers a number of guaranteed return programmes. One of them is the Post Office Gram Sumangal Rural Postal Life Insurance Scheme. The Post Office Gram Sumangal Rural Postal Life Insurance Scheme is an endowment programme that offers a money back to rural residents as well as insurance coverage. Postal Life Insurance and Rural Postal Life Insurance are the two types of insurance offered by this programme (RPLI).

In 1995, India's rural residents were given access to Rural Postal Life Insurance. The scheme's main goals are to provide insurance coverage to rural residents in general, to help weaker groups and women who work in rural regions in particular, and to raise knowledge of insurance among rural residents.

Suppose, a 25-year-old person takes this policy for 20 years with a sum assured of Rs 7 lakh, he/she will have to pay a premium of Rs 2,853 per month, i.e., about Rs 95 per day. The quarterly premium will be Rs 8449, the half-yearly premium will be Rs 16,715 and the annual premium will be Rs 32,735.

In the 8th, 12th, and 16th year of the policy, a payment of Rs 1.4-1.4 lakh will be made at the rate of 20 percent. In the 20th year, Rs 2.8 lakh will also be available as sum assured money. With an annual bonus per thousand at the rate of Rs 48, the annual bonus is calculated to be Rs 3,3600 on the sum assured of Rs 7 lakh.

Hence, the bonus for the entire policy period i.e. 20 years is calculated at Rs 6.72 lakh. In 20 years, the total benefit is calculated at the rate of Rs 13.72 lakh. Out of this, Rs 4.2 lakh will be given as money back in advance and Rs 9.52 lakh will be given simultaneously at maturity.
