What is LIC New Endowment Plus Plan 735?
LIC New Endowment Plus Plan 735 is a Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) offered by Life Insurance Corporation of India. It is a unique financial product that combines two important goals โ life insurance protection and market-linked investment growth โ into a single plan.
Unlike traditional LIC endowment plans where returns are fixed and declared by LIC, Plan 735 invests your premium into one of four market-linked funds. The value of your investment grows (or fluctuates) based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the chosen fund. For complete official policy details, you can visit the LIC New Endowment Plus Official Details page.
This plan is especially suited for individuals who want both insurance cover and wealth creation over a long investment horizon of 10 to 20 years.
How ULIP Plans Work
ULIP stands for Unit Linked Insurance Plan. When you pay a premium, a portion of it goes towards life insurance cover (mortality charge) and the remaining amount is invested in a market-linked fund of your choice. Here is how the money flows:
- You pay the annual premium to LIC
- LIC deducts Premium Allocation Charges (3% in Year 1, 2% in Year 2, 1% from Year 3)
- The remaining amount is used to buy units of your chosen fund at the current NAV
- LIC deducts monthly Policy Administration Charges and Mortality Charges by cancelling units
- Your fund grows as the NAV of the fund moves with the market
- At maturity, you receive the total fund value plus loyalty additions
Fund Options Explained in Detail
๐ต Bond Fund
Invests 100% in government bonds and fixed income instruments. This is the lowest-risk fund, ideal for conservative investors who prioritise capital safety over high returns. Expected return range: 4โ6% per annum. Fund Management Charge: 0.50% per annum.
๐ข Secured Fund
Invests primarily in debt instruments with a small portion in equities. Offers slightly better return potential than the Bond Fund with marginally higher risk. Expected return range: 5โ7% per annum. Fund Management Charge: 0.60% per annum.
๐ก Balanced Fund
A mix of equity and debt instruments. Offers a balanced approach โ moderate risk with moderate return potential. Suitable for investors with a medium risk appetite and a 10โ15 year investment horizon. Expected return range: 6โ10% per annum. Fund Management Charge: 0.70% per annum.
๐ด Growth Fund
Invests predominantly in equities. This is the highest-risk and highest-potential-return fund in Plan 735. Suitable only for investors comfortable with market volatility and who have a long-term view of 15โ20 years. Expected return range: 7โ12% per annum. Fund Management Charge: 0.80% per annum.
NAV Growth Explained Simply
NAV stands for Net Asset Value. Think of it as the price of one unit in your fund. When you invest your premium, LIC buys units at the current NAV. For example, if the NAV is โน10 and you invest โน48,500, you receive 4,850 units.
As markets grow, the NAV increases. If after 15 years the NAV grows to โน40, your 4,850 units are now worth โน1,94,000. This is the basic mechanism of NAV-based wealth creation in ULIPs. Returns are not guaranteed and depend on market performance.
Insurance Plus Investment Benefits
LIC Plan 735 offers a meaningful combination of protection and investment:
- Life Cover: In case of the policyholder’s unfortunate death, the nominee receives the higher of the Sum Assured or the Fund Value as on the date of death

- Flexible Premiums: Choose from yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, or monthly premium payment modes

- Policy Administration Charge: โน60 per month in Year 1, increasing by 5% per annum. Deducted monthly by cancelling units.
- Mortality Charge: Depends on your age, gender, smoker/non-smoker status, and the Sum at Risk (Sum Assured minus Fund Value). Deducted monthly.
- Fund Management Charge: 0.50% to 0.80% per annum depending on the fund chosen. Automatically adjusted in the daily NAV calculation.
