The LIC New Pension Plus 867 plan was unveiled last year by the Life Insurance Company (LIC). It is a non-participating, unit-linked individual pension plan with "guaranteed addition". The LIC New Pension Plus 867 plan states that it will guarantee additions between 5% and 15% of the annual premium.
The LIC New Pension Plus pension plan offers a variety of benefits to policyholders. Some of the benefits of this plan include guaranteed additions, a choice of investment funds, flexible premium payment options, partial withdrawals, policy extensions, and a settlement option for nominees.
Additionally, policyholders can enjoy tax benefits on the premiums paid and benefits received under Section 80CCC and Section 10(10A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. The plan is designed to provide financial security to individuals during their retirement years, making it a wise investment choice for those looking to secure their future.

The Secured, Balanced, Bond, and Growth funds are the different types of investments available through the LIC New Pension Plus Plan. The Secured and Bond Funds make investments in fixed-income securities like debentures and government bonds. The Growth Fund invests primarily in equity shares to generate higher long-term returns than the Balanced Fund, which also includes investments in fixed-income securities.
Depending on their level of risk tolerance and investment objectives, the policyholder may decide to invest in any one of these funds or a combination of them.
Pension Fund | Investment in Govt Bonds/Securities/Corporate Debt | Investment in Money Market Instruments | Investment in Equity |
Pension Bond Fund | 60% to 100% | 0% to 40% | 0% |
Pension Secured Fund | 50% to 90% | 0% to 40% | 10% to 50% |
Pension Balanced Fund | 30% to 70% | 0% to 40% | 30% to 70% |
Pension Growth Fund | 0% to 60% | 0% to 40% | 40% to 100% |
Pension Discontinued Fund | N/A | N/A | N/A |
Note: N/A stands for "Not Applicable". The Pension Discontinued Fund is for discontinued policies, so there is no investment breakdown provided.
The guaranteed additions for different policy years under the LIC New Pension Plus 867 are listed below:

Note: The table shows the guaranteed additions expressed as a percentage of the annual premium and single premium, respectively, for each policy year.
Let's say a 35-year-old person invests an annual premium of Rs 50,000 for a policy term of 30 years. This brings the total investment to Rs 15,00,000.
Assuming that the investment is being made in a mix of Bond, Secured, Balanced, and Growth funds with an annual return rate of 10%, the calculated benefits are:
Total maturity value - Rs 2,22,82,885
Pension per year - Rs 16,15,049
Maturity Value = Total Investment * (1 + Return Rate / 100) ^ Policy Term Pension per year = Maturity Value / (Number of Years for Annuity) Here are the calculations based on the information provided in the illustration: Total Investment = Rs 15,00,000 Return Rate = 10% Policy Term = 30 years Maturity Value = Rs 15,00,000 * (1 + 10 / 100) ^ 30 = Rs 2,22,82,885 Number of Years for Annuity = 20 (assuming the annuity period is 20 years) Pension per year = Rs 2,22,82,885 / 20 = Rs 16,15,049 |
Please note that the actual returns on investment may vary based on the market conditions and the performance of the chosen funds. It is recommended to use the LIC New Pension Plus maturity calculator tool or consult with a licensed financial advisor for a more accurate calculation based on individual requirements.
LIC Pension Plus Plan 867 is a unit-linked pension plan that helps policyholders build a retirement corpus by investing in a range of investment funds.
The plan offers four different funds for investment, namely Bond Fund, Secured Fund, Balanced Fund, and Growth Fund.
The minimum entry age for the plan is 25 years, and the maximum entry age is 75 years.
The premium payment term can be chosen by the policyholder and can range from 5 to 35 years.
There is no limit on the premium amount that can be paid under the plan.
Yes, a policyholder can make partial withdrawals after the completion of the lock-in period.
The lock-in period for the plan is 5 years.
The plan offers tax benefits under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act.
Yes, the policyholder can extend the policy term provided they are below 60 years of age, and the maximum vesting age is not exceeded.
If the policy is surrendered before the completion of the lock-in period, the fund value shall remain invested as part of a Discontinued Policy Fund. If the policy is surrendered after the lock-in period, LIC will pay the unit fund value to the policyholder.
Since it is a unit-linked pension plan, any excess funds over the premium allotment would be invested in corporate and government bonds as well as equity. Comparing this portion to standard bank FDs, higher returns may be available. In an emergency, one can withdraw a portion of the units. The policy period may be extended or delayed under the same terms and conditions.
LIC New Pension Plus 867 is the third ULIP scheme launched by LIC between the years 2020-22. This plan was introduced by LIC on 5 September 2022.
