Budgeting and planning
Tracked by: 0 Boarder
This is a deffered annuity plan. Premium paid along with interest (which is pathetic) 3% if death occurs within 10yrs or 4% within 20yrs and 5% thereafter.
Premiums are discontinued in case of death of the insured. The annuity however will pay for the term assured.
A max of 25% of premium due can be collected lumpsum - tax free.
If this is not in force too long and you pay premiums monthly - discontinue and get a term life insurance
For a healthy 30 yr old male - the term ins for an amount of 30 lakhs is less than 20K per year.
Term life pays benefits only in case of death before the term expire. There is no cash value at the end of the term....

Dear Radhika Nandlal,
I have not studied Jeevandhara & other Policies of LIC Except few ULIPS. Hence I can not comment on this.
Pension Plans should be Avoided due to Adverese Tax Laws & very LOW Returns of ANNUITY.
You may Discontinue Further Premium Payment after Carefully understanding Consequences & Possibility of Loss of Principal .
Equity Mutul Funds are the BEST Option. Invest by SIP & Opt for SWP after Retirement.

Dear drpbala,
Investment decisions should be taken on the Basis of likely Returns not on COST Basis.
If you are EXTRAORDINARY Intelligent & have sufficient Time & GREAT Patience, Investment in SHARES of Carefully Chosen 8-10 Companies are likely to Give Excellent Returns in 5 years provided you monitor Regularly & Book Profits whenever Target Price is Achieved.
Exchange traded Equity Funds may Cost minimum but unlikely to Give GOOD Returns.
Investment in Largecap Oriented and Multicap Diversified Equity Funds ( Carefully Chosen) are likely to give GOOD Returns.

I would like to invest Rs 10,00,000 in the next 6 months time for very long term(more than 5 years). I would like to know the best investment options among the following considering the various costs involved and the expected returns.
1. Direct equity
2. Exchange traded index funds
3. Index related mutual funds(Direct investment)
4. Diversified mutual fund(Direct investment)
Each one of the above investments involves certain costs such as demat account charges, trading charges in case of direct equity and ETF's and fund maintenance charges in case of MF's.
Kindly advise which mode involves the least cost component.

Dear drpbala
1.If you have sufficient knowldge about equity and sufficient time to analyse and study the equities you can go for direct equity. It will be certainly cheapest.
2.Exchange traded index funds are also a good option, because among Index funds Benchmark funds are best with least tracking error however you need to have a Demat account as you are aware.
3. This is same as option 2 however except the fact that u need not to have a Demat account for investing in these type of funds. As far as expense ratio is concerned it is more or less same.
4. In terms of cost this may be costliest even if you directinvestment but that will be offset if you are investing for more than five yrs.

If you have Invested in Shares / Mutual Funds of Good Companies, you may Continue the Investments till 1-2 years or more.
You are likely to get Good Returns
You may book losses if you have not invested in Good Shares.

I am still not clear on your apprehension on Dream Plan since the premium is low with guranteed maturity benefit, I had paid Rs 11844 yearly premium for 50 lac cover for 25 years, the premium is comparable with normal term plans.Pls check the details of the policy (Birla Dream Plan)and provide your feedback as I have already made the payment.Regards,Amit...

if you go to the sales office of any \"top\" builder in mumbai and approach their sales officer donot be surprised if the following scene is enacted time and again:
the first answer will be \"all flats are already sold out\". on persistence you may be shown a first floor flat in an underconstruction building with a lousy view. the entire aim is to make you feel dejected and small.
walk away a few yards and you wll find a friendly estate consultant who will show you hazaar ready for possession in the same very same builder\'s complex for resale.
the entire aim is to make you feel small and blunt your negotiating power. surprisingly it works. even the diehard value for money memsahibs who will surreptiously break bhendis in sahakari bhandars to get fresh ones, will meekly sign on the dotted lines and pay the amount demanded for the flat with a belief that if they donot decide today the flat will \"slip\" out of their hands and a great opportunity will be lost.
now a reality check. in a hypothetical but not far from real case, if one has booked a flat for Rs.3200 in 2003 and now in 2008 the flat is available for rs.7800 the compounded annual growth rate is only 19% or less. in the long run real estate yield has been hovering on an average around 10% or less. hence donot be in a hurry as if the flat is available for free or that you wll miss out on an opportunity. second worst comes worst today you can always rent a flat for 3% of the value which may go up to 5% in a super premium locality. good luck!...
