I will have to pay 62205 from this december till I turn 44 and after I turn 44, It becomes 42480 and after I turn 48, premium becomes 21474. I realized the mistake only take a year but can't cancel now as I won't even get the money I invested I think. I need to invest atleast for 5-6 years to be able to close it and chose a term plan The current plan would give me around 27 lakh after a period of 23 years.I'm 27 at the moment. What do I do please advice. The plan is a mix of 3 plans New Endowment, Jeevan Lakshya, Jeevan Anand.

Thanks. What’s your take on Bharat 22 the new ETF to be launched? I see few overlapping sectors across the two govt ETFs. Will be handy to have a quick comparison of the two before actual launch.
Also another point to add to your above list:
1) Invest in high yielding zunk rated corporate FDs (although there are hardly any available now!! May be Kerala Transport may fit the bill).
2) Do not invest in NPS or VPF as a retirement solution. Rather go for high cost/ low yielding (6-7%) annuity plans or retirement plans.
Bharat 22 ETF analysis is READY. It is being posted tomorrow
Do we need to take separate health insurance though company where i am working is already providing to employees?
I have a doubt whether company insurance will work after retirement.
If it doesn’t work i am thinking to apply policy after retirement. Is it feasible? Do i need to pay high premium at that time?
Please help me with right decision.
Hi Narayana, Company insurance would not work after retirement. However there are companies which are tied up with health insurance companies that are offering top-up plans where you can take it and consider as personal health insurance plan after retirement.
Thank you Suresh sir for your great advise. I done stupid things for point#19,21 & 29 therefore still I am in queue that to be crorepati.

Dear Suresh sir (Now respected Suresh Sir)
Yes I am laughing on myself (Point No. 19), Yes I havent bought any health insurance till last month after getting hospitalized and paid all bills by myself always thinking I need not this I am having a good health and also I am health conscious, but now I have a health insurance.
This Article clearly and nicely written by you indirectly focusing all possible reason for not getting crorepati.
Thanks a lot for your effort.
Very good article…. Easy to understandable anyone……
I have one small doubt regarding the ULIP.
I have invested to SBI Smart privilege scheme and risk cover is 1 cr. I have read the policy they were provide unlimited switch with free of cost and if we keep the plan up to 5 year there is no allocation charges.
The amount were diversified and getting more than 12% returns.
Kindly advise regarding above my plan.
Dominic, Many investors burnt their fingers by investing in ULIP which has high allocation charges. If your plan has low allocation charges and free of cost switches, you can contiue. Just go thru the various charges before you take a call.
Thnak you suresh.
My favorite was point number 32.
Thank you so much for the great skillful ideas Suresh, though I am new into stock investments and trading, I would definitely follow the tips you’ve been sharing.
sir can you please tell me how to invest a lumpsum amount of rs 2L to earn good return. (10-15yr)
Hahaha!!! Nice informative article in a funny way. Like your idea.
Excellant stuff Sureshji,
Nicely covered almost all points, by giving hint on Not to become Crorepati you have explained How to become Crorepati.
I have one query, agree with your point to avoid sectoral fund but if some sectoral fund are available at discounted rate and have potential to grow in long term future then such sector fund can be considered for investment like Pharma fund.
Sureshji you'r comments are awaited.
Thanks Harsh. I agree if sector funds available at discounted price,l one can look at it, however they should consider whether such downfall is temporary or downward trend is going to continue. e.g. Pharma sector is seeing downtrend now. However it would revive and move upwards, but we don’t know when.
Very nice
Good. Obviously everybody should revisit their investment plans regularly. Period ?? Experts please say……. For review should be ?????.
Continue your post with some updated ideas please..
Thanks.
I feel for investment plans, you can visit once in 6 months or once in a year whether your investments are going in right direction or not
Dear Suresh,
what is ur advice about "HDFC Equity saving fund", Can I choose this instead of Dept funds? I would like to transfer my bank FDs lumpsum to this. So need ur advice please
Hi Babu, it is balanced fund, but it is under performer. There are better funds like HDFC Balanced fund or ICICI balanced funds which are top performers. You can consider them.
