  1. Dear Vimal, Once your Term cover is active, start thinking of surrendering or making paid up these policies.

    Please concentrate on proper investing instruments like PPF, MFs & bank FDs & RDs. Do not mix insurance & investments.

    Thanks

  2. Dear Vimal, You are highly under insured. For the annual income you are earning i.e. 4L Rs., you should have a sum assured of at least 50L Rs. if not more.

    So first please purchase a term cover of 50L Rs. from the insurer of your choice. Please do remember, LIC’s term cover, Amulya Jeevan is one of the costliest. Still if you are comfortable with LIC only you may opt that. Else I ‘ll prefer an online cover for you like ICICI Pru Life’s I-Care.

    Rest I ‘ll discuss more after reading your inputs.

    Thanks

    Hi Vimal,
    It is nice to see your goals and your efforts to reach them.

    At the inception, it appears that you may not have a good insurance cover. You seem to have a couple of insurance policies, but all of them seem to have a low sum assured. Can you please confirm the total sum assured on your policies. Try to have a minimum 50 lacs sum assured via a Term Insurance policy.

    Your PPF account is a good choice. Please ensure that you invest atleast 1K per month into it. While you have an option to invest upto Rs.1lac into it, I would suggest that you should in your case refrain from investing complete 1 lac into it.

    Your combined goals appear to be around 1.7 cr in next 20 years. It is difficult, but not an impossible task if you invest wisely and in a disciplined manner. To achieve this target, you would definitely have to take assistance of investing into Equity Markets via Mutual Funds. Currently you have just Rs. 2K per month. Try to increase it to over 5K per month. Your investment into Max New York SIPS pension plan may not be able to provide the required growth as pension products invest funds very cautiously and hence in low growth.

    Regards
    BFA
