Kotak eTerm Plan

Objective

This online term insurance policy aims to provide financial support to the family members in case of death of the insured member. This policy offers to increase the sum assured on important events in your life.

What does it do?

This term plan pays sum assured in case of unfortunate demise of the insured. The policy does not pay any maturity or surrender value. The plan provides a 'Step Up' option that allows to increase sum assured at special events, by paying additional premium. The choice to avail this option has to be specified at the time of purchase, and the premiums will be charged accordingly. The additional fee, for step up option, will be charged till 45 years of age or end of policy term, whichever is earlier.
Sum assured under this option can be increased only up to a maximum limit for each event. Also the total sum assured should be less than 3 times of the basic sum assured.
The maximum sum assured limit for marriage or purchase of a house is 50 per cent of base sum assured, birth or legal adoption of a child and the first, third and fifth policy anniversary offer 25 per cent of basic sum assured as additional coverage.
The cost of insurance will increase by 3 per cent (of basic premium) for policies with a term up to 15 years and 5 per cent for policies with a tenure longer than 15 years.
Alternatively, the policy also offers a 'Step Down' option to reduce the sum assured after availing step up option. Exercising this option will cost Rs 500 per request.
This policy can also be converted into any Kotak plan, without medical check up, if the policy still has 5 years to maturity.

Pros

The plan can be purchased online at convenience.The option to increase sum assured on events like marriage, purchase of house, birth of child or policy anniversary, without having to undergo any medical tests, takes care of increasing insurance needs.
Policyholder may convert this plan to any other plan offered by kotak except another term plan.
Women enjoy discount on premiums.
This policy eliminates agents from the sales process and passes the low cost benefit to policyholders.

Cons

Step up option has to be selected at the time of purchasing the policy and not during the term .
Highest sum assured is limited to Rs 24.99 lakhs which may serve everyone's needs.
The policy does not offer any riders for additional coverage.

Suited for

A pure term insurance policy is a definite buy for everyone. This policy can be taken by those who can make online purchase without services of agents.

Our View

Being an online policy, this plan passes the low cost benefit to the buyers as reduced premiums. The option to increase sum assured can be availed by young buyers, yet to marry or purchase property. Non-availability of riders makes a separate health and accidental cover necessary.

NPS for Tax Saving

The NPS is a great way to save tax if you don't mind locking in your money till you retire. Till last year, the taxability of the NPS was a big issue. But last year's Budget changed the rules and made 40% of the corpus tax free. The PFRDA wants that the balance 60% to be exempt from tax as well. The emphasis is on increasing pension coverage. So, allowing EEE status (to NPS ) is our major demand (in the Budget NPS is especially useful for investors who may have exhausted the `1.5 lakh investment limit under Section 80C but want to save more.   Another way the NPS can cut tax is by rejigging the salary.If a company deposits up to 10% of the basic salary of an employee in the NPS under Section 80CCD(2d), the amount will be tax free.

Liquidity Adjustment Facility

Liquidity adjustment facility (LAF) is a money market tool used by the central bank of a country (in India it is the Reserve Bank of India ), to infuse funds into the country's banking system when liquidity dries up. Again, in case there is excess liquidity, the central bank uses some tools to help banks manage their surplus liquidity. Usually the RBI uses the repurchase facility (called Repo ) to give short-term loans to banks to meet their temporary liquidity shortage.
