   Hi Ashal,
   As per our last discussion ,i have to decide the final step like whether to go for surrender or paid up the LIC policies.After doing all calculations, surrender value is only 276,000/- where as we already paid Rs.485000 as Premium also LIC is not considering any bonus as it is maturity bonus.
   If i surrender my polices its a big loss for me & if i choose paid up option then waiting period is too long like 30 to 35 years.so i really got confused what to do exactly.
   LIC agent advised not to stop the payments as this is the very good plan????(i m shocked by his advice)
   I want your suggestion on above problem.plz guide me on this issue.

   @MANSI – To make your tracking easier during this “optimization” phase, use the LIC website, create a login and key in all the policies over there (if you have not already done). You will get to know some details like accrued bonus directly over there and dont have to call up LIC for asking this.

   As Ashal said get yourself adequate term policy(ies) to begin with

   Dear Mansi, before taking any action on your existing policies, please purchase an adequate sum assured Term Cover. After that come here again and we can decide collectively, what should be done for your each policy?

   Thanks

    Yup indeed a big mistake..you need to take down notes on what policies you have, date of maturity, amount you will get back if paid up or surrender..based on what you get then you really need to think out of that 26 how many do you need may 3 or 4.

    Do your homework calculate and then take an action.

    Thanks
