Stop paying premiums but keep the policy. The sum assured shrinks
pro-rata to premiums paid; vested bonuses stay attached and pay out
at the original maturity. The mechanic is uniform across the
LIC endowment family.

How it works
Reduced (paid-up) SA = Original SA × (premiums paid / total premiums payable).
All bonuses vested up to the date you stopped paying remain attached and are paid at the original maturity date.
No future bonuses accrue after the policy becomes paid-up.
You can still take a policy loan against a paid-up policy, capped at ~80% of its surrender value.
Watch-outs
The policy must have crossed its paid-up threshold first — usually 2 or 3 full years of premiums paid. Below that the policy lapses with no value.
Paid-up almost always beats surrender for medium-term policies (5–10 years in) because you keep the deferred bonus payout.
Once paid-up, a policy cannot usually be revived after a long gap without underwriting.
Doesn't apply to: term plans, single-premium plans, immediate-annuity plans.
