LIC's new endowment plan includes modifications compared to its previous Table No. 14 plan. Key changes include:
1) The death benefit is now defined as the higher of the basic sum assured or 10 times the annual premium, called "Sum Assured on Death".
2) The minimum age at entry is reduced from 12 to 8, and the maximum policy term is reduced from 55 to 35 years.
3) The percentage of the surrender value payable as a loan now depends on the policy term, ranging from 90% for shorter terms to 50% for longer terms.
4) Guaranteed surrender value percentages are modified and now depend on both policy term and year of surrender.
