Final Additional Bonus for LIC Policies (FAB)

Final Additional Bonus (FAB) is an additional bonus which is paid in LIC policies, other than the simple reversionary bonus. Final Additional Bonus is paid only once in the policies at the time of Maturity claim or discounted claim or death claim. The final additional bonus depends upon the sum assured in policy and term of the policy. In other words, the longer-term of the policy, the higher will be the FAB. Bonus rates for LIC of India policies are declared on 17/09/2020. To know about Loyalty Addition in Jeevan Saral please click on the link.
