Hidden benefits within this plan are : 1.The terminal bonus declared by the corporation on the vesting date depends upon the actuarial surplus on the pension fund and will increase the pension benefits. 

2. The immediate annuity rates prevalent at the time of vesting of pension benefits, if favorable in comparison to the deferred annuity rates will be used to recalculate the pension benefits. This subsequently adds to the policyholder's pension benefits.

Non-forfeiture:
3. If the payment of premiums is discontinued, the policy is not forfeited completely. If premiums are paid for a full 3 years, the benefits are reduced on pro-rata basis.

Underwriting made easier: 
An exclusive non-medical limit of Rs.2 lakhs for purchasers up to the age 40 years last birthday has been permitted for the plan

 Suitable for: 
Every individual salaried or self-employed, chartered accountant, engineer, doctor, architect or any other professional individual, especially if he is not covered by any other pension plan or his employer financed by himself or operated through the LIC. For eg, Mr Hari, 45 invests in the Jeevan Suraksha plan (with life cover) paying an annual premium of Rs.4575/- to qualify for annuity payments over a 12 year term that will yield him Rs.1,00,000/
