LIC New Pension Plus Plan

It provides flexibility, guaranteed income options at retirement, and the security of LIC’s brand.

🏦 LIC New Pension Plus Plan

LIC New Pension Plus is a unit-linked pension plan (ULPP) that helps you build a retirement corpus through market-linked returns.
It provides flexibility, guaranteed income options at retirement, and the security of LIC’s brand.

You can think of it as a retirement savings plan — you invest regularly (or once), LIC invests your money in funds, and at maturity, you use the corpus to get a lifelong pension (annuity).

💰 How LIC New Pension Plus Works (Example)

Let’s assume:

  • Age: 35 years
  • Policy Term: 25 years
  • Premium: ₹50,000 per year (Regular)
  • Fund Chosen: Balanced Fund

Step 1️⃣: Investment Phase

You pay ₹50,000 every year. LIC invests it in your chosen fund.

Step 2️⃣: Growth Phase

Your money grows with the market. The fund value depends on NAV performance.

Step 3️⃣: Vesting (Retirement) at Age 60

At the end of 25 years, you’ll have a retirement corpus (say ₹40–₹45 lakh, depending on fund performance).

You can:

  1. Withdraw up to 60% of the corpus as a lump sum (tax-free)
  2. Use at least 40% to purchase an annuity (pension plan) from LIC — for regular monthly/annual income for life.

🧾 Example (Approximate Projection)

If your fund earns an average of 8% per year:

  • Total Investment = ₹50,000 × 25 = ₹12,50,000
  • Estimated Corpus ≈ ₹40,00,000 – ₹45,00,000
  • Lump Sum Withdrawal (60%) = ₹24,00,000 – ₹27,00,000
  • Remaining 40% used to buy annuity = ₹16,00,000 – ₹18,00,000
    → Could give you a lifetime pension of ₹10,000–₹12,000 per month (approx).

(Actual returns depend on market performance and LIC’s declared annuity rates.)
