    Financial Support When Cancer Affects More Than Health
    LIC’S NEW CANCER COVE

    Plan No. 908 | UIN: 512N370V01

    Financial Support When Cancer Affects More Than Health Cancer treatment can affect income, savings, household commitments and the family’s long-term financial plans.

    LIC’s New Cancer Cover is a regular-premium, non-linked, non-participating, individual health insurance plan. It provides fixed financial benefits on the first diagnosis of specified Early Stage or Major Stage Cancer, subject to the policy definitions and conditions.

    The benefit is not linked to the actual medical expenses incurred.

    Key Benefits

    Early Stage Cancer Benefit

    On the first admissible diagnosis of a specified Early Stage Cancer:

    - 25% of the Applicable Sum Assured is payable as a lump sum.
    - Future premiums are waived for the next three policy years or the outstanding policy term, whichever is shorter.

    Coverage for specified Major Stage Cancer may continue after an admissible Early Stage Cancer claim, subject to policy conditions.

    Major Stage Cancer Benefit

    On the first admissible diagnosis of specified Major Stage Cancer:
    - 100% of the Applicable Sum Assured is payable as a lump sum.
    - This benefit is payable irrespective of an earlier admissible Early Stage Cancer benefit.

    Monthly Income for Ten Years

    In addition to the Major Stage Cancer lump-sum benefit, an amount equal to 1% of the Applicable Sum Assured is payable every month for ten years.

    If the insured person dies during this ten-year income period, the remaining monthly income payments continue to the nominee as and when due.

    Two Cover Options

    Option I – Level Sum Assured

    The Basic Sum Assured remains unchanged throughout the policy term.

    Option II – Increasing Sum Assured

    The Sum Assured increases by 10% of the Basic Sum Assured on each of the first five policy anniversaries, provided no specified cancer has been diagnosed.

    Once selected, the benefit option cannot be changed later.

    Premium Certainty

    Premium rates are guaranteed throughout the policy term, subject to the terms of the plan and applicable taxes.
