The Bottom Line
It’s a big start for LIC for launching a online term insurance. But the pricing of the e-term is on higher side in comparision with other pvt players in the same segment. For non smoker customers there is not much difference in premium, it’s almost same as offline Term Plan of LIC (Amulya Jeevan-II). There is also no rider available with the e-Term Plan. So this plan is only for customers who are looking for cheap term plan with govt security and good claim settlement ratio. We would still suggest our readers to compare all the online term plan and buy the one most suit for you.
