Which option is good for investment, LIC or PPF

POSTED BY Raj Shinde ON March 19, 2013 3:32 pm COMMENTS (10)

Hello Manish, please help me in following stake.

Scenario #1)  If I invest 1L/year in LIC for 15 yrs in certain plan like Jeevan Saral.

I could get,

a) Maturity amount after 15yrs = 26L around(there may few thousand in addition)

b) Normal Death Coverage is = 45L around.

c) Acciddental Death Coverage = 66L around.

Scenario #2 )  If I invest 1L/year in PPF for 15 yrs.

I could get,

a) 31L as an maturity amount.

b) But no risk coverage (or is there any?)

Please suggest me which one should I opt?

    Dear Raj, E-shield from SBI is a new plan so there can not be past history for claim settlement.

    Thanks

    As Nitin suggested already PPF + A good term plan serve you better. If LIC premium is heavy for you then I think SBI online term plan (e-Shield) might be good to you.

      Thank you sir,

      I gone through this SBI life eShield, it seems very reasonable one.

      all in all looks good. I did not find any settlement example
      hence not sure, but I would prefer to go with this.

      please throw some light

    Dear raj, you need to look into the calculations. After paying 2L Rs. cover is still 20.75L Rs. yes 1L Rs. is added from your first year’s prem. which was your money & LIC is not giving from it’s pocket. Carry on similarly for next years & till the last year i.e. 15Y.

    By the way, I already answered your basic query. This is the best policy one can purchase for the betterment of LIC staff, agents, LIC itself. So go get it.

    Thanks

    If you invest in scenario 1, you will put in a lot of money for a product which gives only about 6-7% returns which is well below inflation with low insurance coverage.

    Investing in ppf, getting term insurance is always the better option. If you have read articles in Jagoinvestor the answer is self-evident
