Hi..
I am NRI and just recently have opened Jivan Anand Policy. I am quoting my Policy detail as below.
Plan : 149 - 16 - 16
Age : 27
Date of Commencement of Policy : 26/04/2013
Sum Assured : 15,00,000
Premium Rs. (INR) : 1,03,868.00
Mode of Payment : Yearly
Next Due : 26/04/2014
Recently I had discussion with my friend and realized that this policy won't serve purpose of INVESTMENT. The benefits Jivan Anand have are death & accident which already cover under my Job health insurance.
On the other hand, as per my calculation, I am losing approx. 12,00,000 INR over the period of 16 years as per the current RBI FD rate (8.75 %) for minimum 1Year. For further review please open the attach PDF file.
I have following option in my mind to prevent further loss.....
Is still my policy is under the withdrawal period (something like "Free Look Period"), as I just got my policy number last Friday June 21, 2013 but I have paid my premium by April 25, 2013 and process takes time to get approx 2 month to assign Policy number to me???
What is the lowest amount that I can change my SA, that is currently 15,00,000 INR
Is there any LIC investment plan that I can move into and get at least 8.75 % of return for my investment??
Or any other option to opt-out from my policy ??
I appreciate, if any LIC expert can guide me on that, as my adviser don't know much about this figure and don't have enough knowledge. If you won't mind I can call you if any LIC expert can provide contact number or can send email at thakar86ATgmailDOTcom.
Please let me know if you need more detail from myside.
Thanks
