LIC gives women a premium discount on most endowment plans - typically Rs 1 to Rs 2 per Rs 1,000 sum assured. This is because women have statistically higher life expectancy in India. On a Rs 25 lakh policy with Rs 20,000 annual premium over 20 years, this discount saves Rs 4,000 to Rs 8,000 per year.

LIC Plans for Homemakers
A homemaker's life has significant economic value - childcare, household management, and support work that would cost Rs 30,000 to 50,000/month if hired commercially. LIC allows homemakers to take policies based on their spouse's income, typically up to the spouse's total coverage amount.
For a homemaker with no personal income, a Rs 10 to 15 lakh LIC endowment policy provides both savings and life cover. Premium is paid from household income and qualifies for 80C deduction in the husband's ITR if filing jointly, or in the wife's ITR as a dependent.
