Extended maturity period of 5 years Loan against 3
years full premium Facility of cancellation of policy
within 15 days Premium paid will be refundable
Higher returns include policy value, sum assured and

cover as well as investment opportunity in
government securities and AAA companies.

planning of life cash flow to middle Class people.

compared to others in terms of: Birla Sunlife

other financial instruments specified by IRDA, which
gives the higher returns to the customers at a
moderate risk Birla Sunlife Insurance and OM Kotak

the pre-cancellation stage before maturity

30. Smart Kid Plan:
ICICI Prudential has the advantage against others in
terms of:

the term

which is not the case with LIC
ICICI Prudential has the disadvantages also against
others in terms of:

relatives, friends, etc. in the policy of LIC

31. Unit Link Policy:
ICICI Prudential has the advantage of starting the death
benefit from the commencement of the policy. While in
LIC, the particular percentage of amount is to be paid to
the insurer.
In LIC on death after 1st year they are paying sum
assured along with along with the bid value of the fund
units while ICICI pays bid value or sum assured
whichever is higher.
The returns are secured at certain stage and unsecured
at more than that. The insurance companies invest the
money of the person in Equity and debt specified by

customers. But, still, the minimum sum assured is given
to the customers at the end of the maturity period.
