LIC New Term Assurance Rider (Plan No. UIN 512B210): Full Guide, Eligibility & Premium

New Term Assurance Rider belongs to LIC's riders family. In one line: updated top-up cover

Eligibility at a glance — entry age 18 to 60 years; sum assured Up to the base sum assured; policy term Same as base plan. Anything outside those bands will simply not be issued, so check them before you plan the premium.

What the plan actually gives you: Revised, competitive rider rates Attachable to most regular premium plans Death benefit only, no survival value Simple underwriting alongside the base plan Those are the contractual features; bonus or market-linked components, where they apply, are declared by LIC each year and are not guaranteed in advance.

Who it suits: Anyone reviewing an older policy whose cover no longer matches expenses. If that does not describe your situation, there is usually a better-fitting plan in the same family, and it costs nothing to ask.

Before you sign, run New Term Assurance Rider through the premium calculator on this site with your own age, sum assured and term. Seeing the yearly outgo next to the projected maturity value is the fastest way to know whether the plan fits your cash flow — and the fastest way to spot a mis-sold recommendation.
