b) What will be the exact annual premium for me?

Annual premium depends on the number of Deaths of members in an year. The record is 2-4 deaths per thousand members in an year. For the death of each member all the other living members will have to pay at the rate of 500.0 rupees .At  3000 membership a member has to pay around 6 to 7000 an year in two instalments for an assurance of 15 lakhs to his family. In 2007 we lost 5 members and each members Fraternity Contribution was 2750.0 and the familiy of each member got nearly 10 lakhs on payment  of a few thousand rupees at the time of admission of those members. minimum of 3000membership


c) For how long I shall have to pay the annual premium?

The time has not yet been fixed  and we will give a thought to  in future after we get the minimum of 3000 membership

.
d) Shall I get anything during my lifetime?

No. It is a family benefit scheme and not a member Benefit Scheme    

     
e) What will happen to my membership in the scheme if for any reason I fail to pay annual premium in some year?

The amount is so small that it will never occur for a member to pay the amount as the 6 or 7 thousands is to be paid in 2 installments.  You have to pay LIC 75 thousand-125 thousand  in an year for a benefit of 15 lakhs yearly and here you pay only 6 -7 thousand for a benefit of 15 lakhs.

There were no deaths of members during the First 2 years and hence no payments to the scheme even though the family is assured of 7.35 lakhs then. The total amount a member pays in his life time what ever his age and what ever the no of years to pay will not exceed Rs.2-3 lakhs for 15 lakh benefit.

f) The G.B at Bhopal preferred not to apply  for  80 G as we  cannot save the interest on corpus if we go for 80 g


g)  No tax liability to the family as it is a mutually benefit and subscribed by many members
