  1. A simple bank can give guaranted more than double in 10 years of fixed deposit.what’s the big deal in this plans…

  2. Hello Suresh, How is this rate of return calculated, if this plan gives 6% annulaized return how is it doubled in 10 years, sorry – I am new to this.

  3. Hey Suresh,

    Reliance plan guarantee’s to double the investment in 10 years, but how is the rate of return 6%? I am new to this and sorry if this is a stupid question.

    I also spoke to someone in HDFC, and they have a plan called “Young Star Super Premium” which has a 10% Assured return. Could you suggest/advice anything else.

    I am an NRI and would like to invest in SIngle Premium/Yearly premiums which can double investments in 5-10 years.

  4. You have mentioned here about Jeevan Vriddhi Plan of LIC which is already closed, Single Endowment Plan of LIC (Table No. 817) is another good option for single investment in insurance.
