ULIP that tracks market indices, Nifty 50 and Sensex linked

What is LIC Index Plus?

LIC Index Plus (Plan 873, UIN 512L354V01) is a unit linked (ULIP) plan from Life Insurance Corporation of India. Returns come from the performance of the funds your premium is invested in, not from declared bonuses, so the maturity value moves with the market.

Premiums are paid for a shorter period than the policy runs, so the cover continues after you have finished paying. If the policyholder dies during the term, the nominee receives: Higher of fund value or Sum Assured. On surviving the full term, the policyholder gets: Fund value at maturity.

It suits people looking for index investing, passive investment and market-linked growth. NRIs can buy this plan too.
