What exactly does my family get if I die?
The death benefit is the reason the policy exists, and it is worth knowing precisely rather than approximately. In most LIC savings plans it is defined as the higher of a multiple of your annual premium or a percentage of your basic sum assured, plus any bonuses that have accrued.
That "higher of" wording is why two people with the same sum assured can leave behind different amounts. It is also why the death benefit on a savings plan is often lower, rupee for rupee of premium, than on a pure term plan — a savings plan is doing two jobs with the same money.
If your main goal is protecting your family rather than saving, compare the death benefit here against what the same premium buys as pure term cover before deciding.
