LIC’s Tech Term is now available for purchase from its online portal. However, LIC’s Tech Term Premium is still a few thousands more than term policies from private insurers. Waiting for a term plan to launch is the dumbest thing a person can do and now the wait is not worth it IMO. Here are some premium illustrations. The numbers are from LICs purchase portal and policy Bazaar.
LIC’s Tech Term Features (what to choose and what not to)
LIC’s Tech Term plan is a non-linked, without profit, pure protection ‘Online Term Insurance Policy. Refer this for a guide to buying LICs Tech Term Online
Min sum assured: 50 Lakh. Max: Unlimited.
You can pay a premium each year, once or for a limited period. Always choose regular (each year)

There is an increasing sum assured option where from 5th to 15th year the sum assured will increase each year by 10%. Do not opt for this. Choose level cover or same cover each year. Invest right and grow your net worth instead! I do not see the logic behind increasing cover after five years!!
There is an accident rider (opt if you want), and special rates for women. The cover can be availed up to age 80 but only choose until age 60! Cost depends on the duration of the cover.
LIC’s e-Term (old online plan) vs LIC’s Tech Term (new online plan)
The only “benefit” is that LIC’s Tech Term is significantly less expensive than LIC e-term. The “benefit” is only for those who do not have a policy yet. Those who already own LIC e-term please do not discontinue it. That would be most irresponsible. An old term policy makes it harder for the insurer to deny claims and is a lot more valuable than a new cheaper policy! Do not take chances with the well-being of your nominees!

LIC’s Tech Term: Should I buy?
If you prefer LIC to private insurers then go ahead and buy Tech Term. If you already hold LIC e-Term then for the sake of your nominees do not stop that and buy this! Go do something else instead of comparing premiums! If you do not mind buying from private players then go ahead and buy it from them.
