ULIP Statement - Understanding The Jargon

Reading any statement – whether of a bank, a mutual fund or a unit-linked insurance plan (Ulip) – can be a nightmare.

In a Ulip statement, even a single-premium policy will show several transactions during the full tenure, since the number of units is not fixed and charges are deducted from the units. Switches further complicate matters as purchase price calculations will change again

Most insurance companies follow different formats and use diverse terms in their annual statements. A few sections, common to all, will be a summary of the policy, a transaction report on the fund's growth and a section detailing the various charges. All statements include basic information regarding the policy.

Transaction statement

The 'transaction activity report' is an important section, as it traces month-onmonth activity in the fund. Other columns show monthly policy charges deducted from the premium, the unit's price or net asset value (NAV), the number of units bought at that price and the fund value. The price per unit (NAV) is proportional to the number of units held on the transaction date.

Monthly policy charges

This section gives an account of month-on-month charges. The columns describe transaction dates and the various charges levied. Some of them will be:

Mortality charge or life-risk charge:

This is the cost to insure the policyholder. The charge depends on several factors like age, amount of coverage, state of health, and so on. However, monthly mortality charges may vary, depending on the number of units held on the transaction date.

Policy administrative charges:

These are the charges for administering the plan. This could be a flat charge throughout the term, or may vary at a pre-determined rate.

Tax duties, levies and total charges:

They are the other charges.

If the policyholder takes such extra benefits as an 'extra health benefit' (adding a health policy to the existing policy), the option to switched funds or for partial withdrawals, charges applicable to these facilities will be mentioned in the statement.

A Ulip statement should typically have these parameters. Besides the usual – policy and fund name, client number, date of issuing the policy and date of birth of the policyholder – there will be some other critical information:

Premium: A regular mode means the premium is paid annually. A single premium indicates a one-time payment.

Sum assured: This is the risk cover for the policyholder, and is a function of the single premium in most cases.

Life assured: Of the policyholder. In case, the life assured is of a minor, the name would be stated under 'proposer'.

Contract status: 'In force' suggests a continuing policy. 'Paid up contract' means the premium is not being paid. If the policyholder stops paying the premium before the lockin period has expired, it will read as lapsed.

Term and plan maturity date: This indicates the period and the exact date the cover ends.

Next due date: The date on which the next premium is due.

How Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) works?

    THE tax season is here. And if you are an employee you can't blame your employer for deducting large chunks of money from your salary towards tax deducted at source ( TDS ), which he is legally obliged to do. Your bank will also deduct some percentage from your FD interest of Rs 10,000 or more towards TDS! So what is this TDS all about? How is it computed? Are there any changes this year? Read on... What is TDS? TDS reduces your taxable income and could even provide tax relief! The TDS collections account for 40 percent of the total taxes collected in the country. As the name suggests TDS is the amount of tax that is deducted at source in certain types of income . The TDS thus collected is deposited in the Government treasury within a specified time. How is it computed? Some of the types of income where TDS is applicable include salary, interest, rental fee, interest on securities, insurance commission, dividends from shares and UTI/Mutual Funds, commission and brokerage

Modern day balanced mutual fund approach

Buy Gold Mutual Funds Invest Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India)   In reality, most balanced funds have a strong tilt towards equity instead of a mix of equity and debt THERE are various types of mutual funds available to investors with specific features. Often investors have a particular idea about a specific type of funds in terms of their features and risks, but that is not what is actually available. Therefore, it is necessary for an investor to understand the actual position before picking up a fund. This requires some work on the part of the investor. One example can be the situation with balanced funds. Name is not representative: One of the first things that an investor has to understand is that the name of the fund is often not representative of its investment pattern. The name often represents only the aim of the fund, and not what it actually is.
