Dear Manish,
I have read your articles and they have helped a lot to get knowledge about the financial system. Nowadays, I am investing my money wisely but at a time i was dependent on some so called advisers who advised me to “invest” my money in the following LIC policies. I did so. but now i know the fact and thus i bought a Term Plan which can cover 10X of my annual salary.
Now, I need your help.
My adviser told me that If i decide to terminate this plans after 5 years of commencement by paying regular premium and surrender the policies, I will get all the money which i paid as premium. Is it true ? ( Probably not )
If i want to discontinue the policies, which is the better option Surrender the policies now or make my polices paid up ( as i dont have the need to have very only 20-25% of the premium paid ) ?
The Details of LIC policies are as following.

Dear Chintan, please take some pain for yourself & visit LIC office to know your pin point surrender value as well as Paid up value for each of the 3 policies under discussion. I do hope, once these paid up & surrender values are there with you, you may decide on your own what to do with these policies?
Thanks
Ashal
Chintan – The amount you will get in surrender is “approximately” this:
(Total premium paid minus first year premium)* 30%
In several cases it is best if the plan is just surrendered and the payout taken – it is just a onetime pain of losing that much money than staring all life at a plan yielding 4-5%, if at all.
Take a payout and invest them via SIP in Equity Mutual Funds.
