      Dont judge the plan so fast. Ask the person on the full illustration and how the pension returns are calculated. In general these plans are not that beneficial

    Dear Manoj, please cancel the policy under free look period. Purchase adequate term cover. After that please look into your existing life insruance policies. Regarding retirement corpus creation, please invest in PPF and MFs.

    Dear Manoj, if you said retirement planning, please tell me in detail, do you want to save for your retirement or do you want to save for your retirement through this policy only? In simple words, do you want to create retirement corpus or want to create retirement corpus under this policy only?

    Please reread my above query before commenting.

    Thanks
