So You Want to Tech Out Your Term Insurance? A Hilariously Un-Boring Guide to LIC's New Tech Plan
Look, life is full of surprises. You could win the lottery tomorrow, or trip over a rogue banana and become the next viral sensation (for all the wrong reasons). But one thing's for sure: none of us get out alive. That's where term insurance comes in – it's like a superhero sidekick, kicking financial disaster in the shins if something, well, unfortunate happens.
Now, LIC (aka the insurance giants of India) have launched this spiffy new "Tech Term Plan." Sounds intriguing, right? But before you dive headfirst into the digital abyss, let's unpack this bad boy with a sprinkle of humor (because let's face it, insurance talk can be drier than a piece of toast left in the Sahara).
Step 1: Assess Your "I Might Kick the Bucket" Budget
QuickTip: Reread for hidden meaning.
This is the part where you get real with yourself. How much financial chaos would your untimely demise unleash on your loved ones? Think college funds evaporating faster than a politician's promise, mortgages becoming Mount Everest, and avocado toast replaced with, well, just toast. Now, take that number and multiply it by "I never want my family to blame me for their ramen noodle budget." That's your target sum assured.
Step 2: Tech Savvy or Tech...Not So Savvy?
Tip: Absorb, don’t just glance.
Remember those flip phones with antennas that doubled as impromptu fly swatters? Yeah, some of us rock smartphones like Beyonc� rocks a stage, while others still struggle to find the "on" button. Thankfully, LIC's Tech Term Plan caters to both sides of the technological spectrum. You can go full online warrior and apply digitally, or, if the mere mention of "e-signature" makes you break out in hives, there's the good old-fashioned agent route. Just remember, with the online option, you get a discount (because apparently, tech skills are worth real money these days).
Step 3: Death Benefits: Not Actually a "Weekend at Bernie's" Situation
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.

Here's the deal: if you kick the bucket (hopefully not literally, unless you're a skydiving enthusiast with a questionable helmet collection), your chosen beneficiary gets the sum assured. It's like a financial parachute, softening the blow of your earthly departure. Plus, LIC's Tech Term Plan comes with two payout options:
- Level Sum Assured: This is like a flat line on a heart monitor – the beneficiary gets the same amount you insured for, no matter when you shuffle off this mortal coil.
- Increasing Sum Assured: Think of this as inflation-proofing your death benefits. The payout grows over time, keeping your loved ones afloat even if the price of bread reaches the moon.

QuickTip: Keep going — the next point may connect.
- Did you know LIC's Tech Term Plan is available for ages 18 to 65? That's basically from the time you can legally vote to the time you start questioning if socks are even necessary anymore.
- Smokers pay a bit more than non-smokers (fair enough, your lungs are basically self-propelled smoke machines).
- You can choose the policy term – think of it as picking your own "death deadline." 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, or until you reach the ripe old age of 80, the choice is yours (just don't blame us if you pick 10 years and then live to be 102).
