I am 57 years retired Naval Officer. Advise me on a good retirement plan with monthly income.
You can take a immediate Annuity plan .. there are many companies which provide it like LIC , ICICI
I am 63 can Retire Smart plan is good for me I need to invest 500K per year and i need at least 250k 0er year
Also I need to know about senior citizen fix deposit is better than this?
I don’t think you should go with any policy.. You can either taken LIC Pension plan or be with FD for sometime to decide where to invest
Can anyone suggest how to surrender the SBI retire smart plan with no surrender charges. I am paying for this plan since 3 years.
You need to go to the branch to surrender ..
Recently i visited SBI branch and they introduced me to SBI Life isurance agent . The agent told me about a plan and I am planning to invest in SBI Life Retire Smart plan .. with Half yearly payment of 1 Lakh for 5 years payment term.
The Agent told me that i will be getting pension from 6th year onwards of Rs.10,000 per month .
I am new to this , can any body advise … Please help…. How reliable is SBI Life and this policy ?
Hi Madhu
Its suggested that you dont take that policy.
Hi Manish, I have taken this policy since 3 years and I am paying a premium of 3.6 Lakhs per annum. Could you please advise how to surrender this plan or exit from this plan. Your advise will be great.
You need to visit the branch for this. Give a letter for surrender to the branch!

Hello sir,
I am 39 yrs old. Which is the best retirement policy?
I need to get regular income for my retirement after 60 yrs.
Should I invest SBI retire smart policy or should I go to MF sip?
I can invest 100000/- per yrs. for next 10 to 15 yrs.
Dear Sachin, first of all, please pin point a figure. How much corpus you need in your retirement. Once corpus figure is there, decide which instrument you should invest in to reach your target.
Please visit freefincal . com to test few calculators there.
Thanks

Dear Dr. Sachin, you mean to say, you were looking for retirement policy for tax saving and not for retirement?
Thanks
Ashal
Thanks Ashalanshu
//Ashalanshu: As per current tax rules this annuity is taxable.// This is new info for me.
Looking for retirement plan for retirement only, not for tax saving purpose
Dear Dr. Sachin, I did not said that opting a retirement oriented policy is bad. Let’s discuss the thing in detail. Let’s assume, you purchased a pension policy today and start investing money into it. Now at the time of policy maturity (your chosen retirement age in this policy). You can not withdraw all the fund for your personal choice. At best you can withdraw only 1/3rd part as tax free. Remaining part should be used to purchase annuity (annuity means pension). Now the real thing start from here. As per current tax rules this annuity is taxable. Now once opted, there is no control from you on annuity. You can not surrender the plan to come out. The annuity can not be increased or decreased as per your choice. Due to inflation, the offered annuity may not be enough for your requirement.
Now you should decide.
Thanks
Ashal
Thanks Ashal.
these are all new info for me. The tax part and it canot be withdrwn as a lump sum . Thanks.
So if v need to avoid tax, then PPF& tax saving mutual funds are the best options i guess.
thanx
I need money for my retirement.
But is it bad going for a retirement oriented insurance policy?
Dear Dr. Sachin, what’s important to you having money for your retirement or having a retirement oriented insurance policy?
Thanks
Ashal
