Bima Shree

Keeping in mind the numerous benefits of life insurance along with a pre-specified return at regular intervals, insurance pioneer LIC rolled out its master plan, the Bima Shree.

Bima Shree is an endowment plan offering the dual advantage of savings and life cover. Acting as an icing on the cake, its money back feature allows the policy holder to enjoy regular redemption of Sum Assured at regular intervals. Bima Shree is a non-market link, profit participating plan that assures much more than the Basic Sum Assured.
