How good is it?
The insurance element in the policy is minimal, so it is not for those looking for an insurance product. Whether the policy is good as an investment can be assessed by looking at the guaranteed benefits and the charges.
The plan offers to double your money at the end of the policy term. Considering the term is fixed at 10 years, the guaranteed return on your money will be around 7%.
The charges in the policy will determine the impact of cost on the final yields of the policy.
ApnaPlan.com Recommendation:
The minimum or the guaranteed return under the policy is around 7%. If you are in the lower tax bracket of 10% and 20%, you would be better off by investing in fixed deposits considering that FDs of five years and above are giving around10% currently.
For higher tax bracket you must keep in mind that guaranteed return of the policy holds true only if you hold it for 10 Years i.e. till the end of policy. In case of bank Fixed deposit you get guaranteed return at the end of 5 years.
