Should you consider LIC Jeevan Labh?


Like I indicated earlier, I am against money back plans or endowment plans. All such plans from LIC would give an approx returns of 4% to 6% per annum. You should take term insurance plan and balance savings can be invested in a bank FD or mutual fund which would yield better returns. On other hand, if you are low risk taker and does not believe in financial markets or does not willing to take risk from stock markets, it is always safe to invest in such endowment plans from LIC.

  1. Suresh.. i have been advised this plan to invest for 16 yrs Rs 95000 per yr.. for insurance amt 20 lacs.. post which for 9 yrs i pay nothing and then after that..ie 25 yrs.. i get 54 lacs.. is this true.? The agent said rate of return is 9 pwrcent with this plan

    1. None of the LIC plans would give you 9% return. You can expect 5% to 7% returns. Recheck with agent. If you can get this in writing from LIC, nothing like it.

      1. hi suresh, how's it going for you . I be been advised the same. is it true.. did u find out anything letter?
