Product Details


Met Life's Monthly Income Plan is a scheme that guarantees payment of a monthly income to the policyholder for a period of 15 years after the end of the premium paying term. In the event of the death of the policyholder, the regular monthly income shall accrue to the nominee. Investors can choose a policy term of 20 or 25 years. The corresponding premium paying term for the same is 5 and 10 years, respectively.


Additional Features


The scheme pays an additional 25% of the sum assured to the nominee in the event of the death of the policyholder during the policy term. The additional sum assured is paid along with the payment of regular monthly incomes until the maturity of the policy.


Policy At A Glance


Assuming the age of a healthy male policyholder to be 55 years and the policy term to be 20 years, the premium payable during the limited premium paying term of 5 years and the benefits that will accrue to the policyholder at various quanta of monthly income are illustrated herewith…

Met Life Monthly Income Plan is structured in a manner so as to provide the amount of the sum assured to the policyholder in installments, as a regular monthly income, during the policy term itself, rather than return the same as a lumpsum on maturity. The policy thus makes sense for those nearing their retirement age, as it will ensure a regular stream of income then.


However, as far as the returns are concerned, for the policy taken at 55 years of age, the absolute gains from this plan over a period of 20 years are less than 9%. While the returns are relatively higher at lower age groups, say, 18% if the policy is taken at 30 years of age, the same fail to match even the returns that one can gain by investing in bank term deposits during this tenure.


Invest in this plan only for the sake of the convenience of regular income. Those seeking higher returns may give this one a skip.

Understanding Your Cibil Credit Information Report

   WE ARE all familiar with the anxiety and uncertainty that we feel when applying for a loan. After all, it's the lender who decides whether we can own our dream home, our first car, or whether our children can pursue higher education. In a nutshell, a better life depends on the lender's decisions.    While other factors do play a part in the lender's decision, the Cibil Credit Information Report ( CIR ) plays a crucial role in a lender's decision to approve a loan application.    Previously, lenders would treat all loan seekers equally. Each applicant, if approved by the lender's internal credit policy, would be charged at the same interest rate for a particular loan size and purpose. The lenders would charge a higher interest rate to all the borrowers, in order to compensate for the possible default of a small portion of the loan disbursed. In other words, it's like a professor (the lender) punishing an entire class (borrowers) for the mischief played b...

These days, the stock markets are quite volatile in nature with a bearish bias. Rallies do not last long in the markets and peaks of market rallies are reducing.
