  1. Very good article and site always offers sound advice.Maturity Value of the cumulative option is wrong can you please change it to give correct picture. Thanks Vinayak

  2. Hi,

    How would you rate SBI's Saral Jeevan Plan? 

    according to it, if we pay Rs 100000 for 10 years and put the entire amt into its annuity, we will be paid 10000 per month for life; the amt passes to the spouse on death of the policy holder and the entire amt + bonus will be paid to the nominee on her death. it sounds good on paper. What is your assessment.

    Can you suggest other good retirement plans that offer fixed amts like this per month. I am aware of NPS but since it is eqity based, one can never be sure of the final amt that one will get at 58 years.

    1. Hi Smitha, I started analysing few pension plans, you would see one in next 10 days as it is queu. But the issue with these plans are they offer only 4% to 5% returns. If you invest in PPF kind of investments you would get 8%+ returns. At maturity you can invest in Bank FD and get monthly fixed income. When you say that amount would be passed to nominee at death, it is better to consider term insurance plan with smaller amount instead of investing big amounts and compromising for 5% returns
