How to Check the Surrender Value of your LIC Policy?

You can calculate the surrender value of your policy using this simple formula [Basic sum assured (Number of premiums paid/Total number of premiums payable) + Total bonus received] x Surrender Value Factor.

Let’s take an example of LIC Jeevan Anand policy to understand the parameters involved. In this case, the surrender value is applicable after three active years of the policy and it is equal to 30% of all premiums excluding the premiums paid for the first year of the policy term along with vested bonuses. Accident benefits will also be excluded for the purpose of calculating surrender value. Bonuses are additional cash values paid at the time of the end of the tenure or in case of death.

Now let’s suppose the LIC policy started in the year 2010 with a policy term of 15 years. The basic sum assured is Rs.4,00,000 with a yearly premium amount of Rs.30,192. The bonuses accumulated till now will amount to Rs.70,000. Now if the policyholder has paid only 5 premiums so, far the surrender value will be 30% (5 x 30,192) + Final Bonus in today’s term.
