LIC Nivesh Plus is a single‑premium ULIP designed for entrepreneurs who prefer a one‑time investment instead of recurring premiums, while still securing life insurance protection and market‑linked growth. For business owners juggling irregular income, business volatility and family responsibilities, Nivesh Plus offers a structured way to build long‑term wealth while ensuring financial security for dependents.
Why a Long Term Investment Plan with Life Insurance Matters for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurs often face unpredictable income cycles, business risks and personal financial commitments simultaneously. A combined life insurance + long term investment plan helps separate personal security from business uncertainty.
With LIC Nivesh Plus, the single premium is invested into market‑linked funds, while life cover continues for 10–25 years (as per current options).
- If the policyholder passes away during the term, the nominee receives the death benefit.
- If the policyholder survives the term, they receive the fund value, including any guaranteed additions and market‑linked growth (as per current rules).
This dual structure supports both legacy protection for the family and goal‑based investing for education, retirement or business contingency capital.
What Makes LIC Nivesh Plus Different from Regular Life Insurance
Unlike traditional endowment plans where returns depend largely on bonuses, LIC Nivesh Plus is a non‑participating, unit‑linked, single‑premium life insurance plan. After applicable charges, the premium is invested into chosen funds, and the policy value depends on NAV performance.
The plan currently offers two cover options:
- A lower multiple of the single premium for those prioritising investment growth
- A higher multiple for those wanting stronger life insurance protection
This choice affects both risk cover and tax treatment, and once selected, cannot be changed. For entrepreneurs, this flexibility allows them to balance protection and growth based on their existing term cover, business exposure and long‑term goals.
Key Features Entrepreneurs Should Understand
1. Multiple Fund Options
Current versions of LIC Nivesh Plus offer four fund choices, ranging from debt‑oriented to equity‑oriented, allowing entrepreneurs to match investments with their risk appetite.
2. Guaranteed Additions
The plan provides guaranteed additions at specific durations (as per current product design), rewarding long‑term holding in addition to market‑linked returns.
3. Partial Withdrawals After Lock‑In
After a 5‑year lock‑in, partial withdrawals may be allowed, helping entrepreneurs meet emergencies or business opportunities without surrendering the policy. However, withdrawals reduce fund value and future growth potential.
4. Long-Term Wealth + Protection
The combination of life cover and market‑linked investment makes Nivesh Plus suitable for:
- Family protection
- Education planning
- Retirement corpus
- Business backup capital
Risks, Tax Considerations & Need for Updated Information
As a ULIP, LIC Nivesh Plus carries market risk, fund management charges, policy charges and NAV fluctuations. Past performance cannot be treated as a guarantee.
Current brochures highlight potential tax benefits such as:
- Possible deductions under Section 80C
- Tax treatment of maturity/death benefits under Section 10(10D)
However, these depend on the sum‑assured option and prevailing tax laws, which may change with future Budgets. Entrepreneurs must always refer to the latest LIC documents and consult a tax professional before investing.
