LIC Smart Pension Plan No. 879 Calculation — ₹10 Lakh Investment in LIC Smart Pension
Assume you invest ₹10,00,000 as a single premium in LIC Smart Pension. Once the plan is purchased, you start receiving pension immediately based on the annuity option and payment mode you choose.
📊 Sample Pension (Based on Online Calculator)
| Payment Mode | Single Life Pension | Joint Life Pension |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly | ~₹5,570 / month | ~₹5,439 / month |
| Quarterly | ~₹16,883 / quarter | ~₹16,486 / quarter |
| Half‑Yearly | ~₹34,115 / half‑year | ~₹33,311 / half‑year |
| Yearly | ~₹69,623 / year | ~₹67,983 / year |
📌 These figures are approximate and based on typical rates used in online pension calculators. The actual pension will vary depending on your age, annuity option, and annuity mode chosen.
✔ For example, if you choose monthly pension in single life annuity, you might receive around ₹5,500 – ₹6,200 per month for life after investing ₹10 lakh. This is a guaranteed pension, not market‑linked.
🧠 What This Means for You
Let’s break the numbers down:
➡ With a ₹10 lakh investment and monthly payout, you could expect roughly ₹66,000 – ₹75,000 per year in pension, paid in monthly instalments.
➡ If you choose a yearly payment mode, the total payout in a year is higher per rupee of pension compared to monthly mode — but it comes as a lump sum once per year.
🧾 Key Points to Remember
🔹 These pension amounts are guaranteed — the insurer must pay them every period for life.
🔹 The exact payout depends on your age when you buy the plan — generally, the older you are, the higher the pension rate.
🔹 You can also choose joint life annuity options so your spouse or family member continues to receive pension after you pass away (at reduced or full rates, based on option chosen).

💡 All figures assume a ₹10,00,000 single premium and yearly payout mode unless specified otherwise. Actual payouts vary by age, annuity option chosen, and payment frequency.

📌 What This Means
✅ Pension increases with age — because LIC pays higher annuity rates when you are older at entry.
✅ Monthly pension is roughly annual ÷ 12 (exact monthly may differ slightly by mode).
✅ These figures are not guaranteed — they depend on the annuity option you select (e.g., Increasing, Return of Purchase Price, Joint Life).
🧠 Example Comparison
📍 If you buy at age 50:
-
Your yearly pension might be around ₹70,000 → roughly ₹5,800/month.
📍 If you buy at age 60:
-
You may get around ₹85,000/year → roughly ₹7,000/month (as per sample).
📍 If you buy at age 65:
-
Pension could be nearer to ₹92,000 – ₹95,000/year, or ₹7.5k – ₹8k/month.
📍 Why Age Matters
-
Older annuitants receive higher pensions because life expectancy is lower, so the insurer pays larger periodic amounts.
-
Younger buyers get lower annual payouts but longer overall income period.
📌 Tips for Your Readers
✔ Compare Single Life vs Joint Life — joint life usually pays slightly lower monthly pension but continues for spouse/loved ones.
✔ Use the LIC Smart Pension calculator on official or agent sites to get personalised numbers for your exact age and payout frequency.
✔ Consider payment frequency: Monthly payouts are smaller than yearly amounts, but easier for budgeting.
