In our opinion , jeevan anand is a good plan but go for some term insurance with investment in a SIP plan of any mutual fund.

Please advise me on the following-

1. Whether LIC Term Plan is better as compared to others? Can we avail additional rider benefits with this policy like accidental benefits, Permanant Disability, Crtical illness etc. Is it advisable to club this with the Terms Plan.

2. Which are the best MFs for investment. Whether SIP option is better ? Which are best ?

SBI seems to be better than LIC for term insurance policies. All the insurance companies offer more or less similar products.

Advise on MFs are very subjective, whats true today may not be tomorrow. If you have no inclination to monitor share market, go with 4-5 MF's offered by reputed asset management companies that have consistent track record for past 2-3 years. Make sure you monitor the performance of each MF every quarter and replace the non-performing funds with better ones in the market

Whole life vs Term policy
by ashish g on May 19, 2012 02:12 PM  | Hide replies

Further to above discussions, a term policy shall give cover until 15-20 yrs. from the start of the policy. If your age is 30 and you get a term policy, the insurance benefit shall be available till the age of 50 Yrs. in general. If one outlives the term, for age 50 yrs. onwards, there shall be no insurance cover in case of demise of the bread earner. At age 50yrs. most will not prefer to go for another term policy as the premium shall be too high and the cover shall be too low.

A whole life policy on other had shall give insurance cover until the death of the policy holder and shall involve payments of premium till the policy holder survives. This has a drawback that at retirement, the policy holder will have to pay from savings kept for retirement which may not be preferable. These payment may be planned during the pre retirement years wherein a part of income may be kept aside out of savings.

There is a mid way wherein one goes for a whole life policy having premium payment option only for limited years / until the retirement age of policy holder. This policy shall give death benefit for whole life of the policy holder and shall have a premium mid of endowment and term policy.

when u take 10,00,000 of jeevan mitra triple cover it gives you a risk coverage of 30,00,000 for 15 years. so you have to compare 30,00,000 of term insurance please be careful when doing the coparison

For triple cover, premium will be more. Please look at the premium mentioned by the author here.

Triple cover premium is same 69829. And Jeevan Amulya premium is 6240. the left over amount accumulates to 18 lacs in PPF (assuming no Tax and @8%). When tax comes into picture (say you go for a Bank FD) returns diminish much more.

But the fact remains that if you are unable to pay the premium after 4 years due to some reason that is not covered in your plan (recession etc) and you are forced to surrender your plan, you hardly get anything back in case of endowment plan, in case of term plan, your policy lapses and when good days are back you can start another plan with slightly higher premium (due to your age).

Also in case of death, returns from term insurance PPF is more enticing than endowment.

you can choose to build your insurance coverage by buying multiple single premium term plans over a period of time. This way you eliminate the risk of the policy being lapsed due to non payment of premium.

Life insurance is not an investment
by brian crasto on May 19, 2012 10:24 AM  | Hide replies

People usually fall in a trap by buying endowment policy as the agents get an hefty commision of 25%. Life insurance is purely insurance and should be considered as a investment. One is free to invest the surplus in mutual funds, stocks, PPF etc where he may get better returns
