Let's break down a realistic example for a 21-year-old woman investing in the Aadhar Shila policy for 20 years:
Daily Investment: ₹50 (approximately)
Annual Premium: ₹18,976
Total Premium Over 20 Years: ₹3.8 lakh
Basic Sum Assured: ₹5 lakh
Loyalty Additions: ₹1.62 lakh (approx.)
Total Maturity Value: ₹6.62 lakh
Yes, your ₹50/day savings can grow into a substantial fund of over ₹6.6 lakh, assuming current benefit rates remain the same.
Note: Premium amount varies depending on age at entry. The younger you are, the lower the premium.
In the unfortunate event of the policyholder's death during the policy term:
The nominee receives the death benefit, which includes the sum assured and applicable bonuses.
This ensures financial support to the family in difficult times.
Safe, government-backed savings option
Designed to support long-term financial goals
Encourages habitual saving with small daily amounts
Available for girls as young as 8 years old
Option to take maturity amount in yearly installments after 20 years
LIC's Aadhar Shila plan is a thoughtful option for women who want to build wealth gradually without pressure. With just ₹50 a day, you not only get a decent return but also life coverage and loan eligibility - all in one policy.
Before investing, it's wise to visit your nearest LIC office to understand your exact premium based on your age and financial goals.
