LIC Jeevan Shanti is a new single premium guaranteed
pension plan which is launched on 12th September 2018. It offers the
guaranteed pension with options like an immediate pension or deferred pension.
You may be aware that LIC’s Jeevan Akshay VI also offers
the guaranteed pension plan. However, LIC’s Jeevan Akshay is an immediate
annuity plan. Maybe for this reason, LIC came with plan LIC Jeevan Shanti. This
plan offers both immediate pension and deferred pension plan.
Before proceeding further, first, let us understand few
terminologies used in retirement plans.
What is the meaning of annuity?
In simple term, you can say it as a Pension, where you
will get regular income up to the specified period or conditions. There are two
types of annuity.
