HDFC Click 2 Protect Plus

For those who are aware of online term plans, HDFC Click 2 protect is not a new name for them. It is one of the popular names in online term plan market, which almost every seeker of online term plans must have went through before finalizing his selection. With a great claim settlement ratio, competitive premium rates, dependable brand image this product has always been difficult to ignore. HDFC Click 2 protect Plus is a new version of the same plan with some add on optional features.

This particular plan can also be bought offline and thus is available to all those also who are not internet savvy. Among the additional features it has come up with 2 options which include regular monthly payments to the nominee, along with lump sum payment of Sum assured. One another feature allows the insured to increase or reduce the sum assured at specified life events. Overall it sounds a nice product, let's find out more.

 

HDFC Click 2 protect plus – in Brief

HDFC Click 2 protect plus is a pure term insurance plan, specifically called as "a traditional non-participating term insurance plan". It is an extended version of the other popular online term plan of HDFC with name HDFC Click 2 protect, which might get discontinued soon. The "Plus" factor in this product brings along 3 optional features, which are as below

1. Extra Life option: You can top up your existing life insurance coverage with accident insurance cover by paying some extra premium.

2. Income option: In this option at the time of claim, 10% of Sum assured will be paid as lumpsum and Balance will be paid in monthly installments scattered over 15 years time frame.

Say for e.g for a Sum assured of Rs 1 cr, in case of demise of the policy holder family will get Rs 10 lakh in lumpsum and remaining Rs 90 lakh will be divided into monthly installment of Rs 50000/- and be paid monthly for next 15 years.

3. Income Plus option: Here 100% of Sum assured will be paid on death in lumpsum and monthly income equal to 0.5% of Sum assured will be paid for next 10 years. The monthly income can be level or increasing @10% p.a. as chosen by policy holder.

Taking the same case as in point 2 above, in this case family will get Rs 1 crore as lumpsum plus a monthly installment of Rs 50000 fixed amount for next 10 years or Rs 50000 per month with increment of 10% p.a.

Besides the above in HDFC click 2 protect plus plan , there's one Life stage protection feature available in the base plan i.e. Plan with no option (as mentioned above ) opted for. With this feature insured can increase or reduce the sum assured on the occurrence of a specified life event like Marriage or Birth of child. The Premium will be reworked based on new sum assured. It will work like as below:

After 45 years of age if you feel that you have accumulated enough corpus to provide the necessary financial security to the family and you don't require this much of insurance cover then you can get your sum assured reset to the original sum assured which was at inception of the policy.

HDFC Click 2 Protect Plus – Key features

Below are the key features of the this new online term plan, in comparison to its earlier version

HDFC Click 2 Protect Plus – Premium quotes

The premium quotes below are of a regular policy for a healthy non smoker male for a Sum assured of Rs 50 lakh. Term of the policy is 30 years. All quotes are for offline purchase, which are around 5% costlier then the online term plan purchase quotes

The premium quotes below are of a regular policy for a healthy non smoker male for a Sum assured of Rs 1 crore. Term of the policy is 30 years. All quotes are for offline purchase, which are around 5% costlier then the online term plan purchase quotes

HDFC Click 2 Protect plus – Should you buy?

When it's a question of buying a term insurance plan, I can answer with closed eyes. Yes. Everyone should be having adequate life insurance cover and term insurance plans are the cheapest way to buy that cover. Online term plans are more economical then offline products. So in my opinion HDFC Click 2 protect plus through Life Option is must to be considered product.

I like things to be simple and clear, and that's why a bit reluctant on opting for any add on feature. In case of income option, insurance company will keep 90% of the Sum assured with themselves and distribute balance in monthly installments without any interest. So financially speaking it doesn't make sense. Even if the nominees park the claim received in a bank FD they can generate better income and monthly returns.

In Income Plus option, the difference in premium can be used to buy another term plan to enhance the cover and if used wisely (if claimed) again can generate better returns and monthly income.

Conclusion

Keep your finances Simple. HDFC Click to protect plus can be considered for pure online term plan or offline purchase without any add on topping

Short-Term Investment Options in Mutual Funds

Mutual funds offer liquid funds and ultra short term funds in the debt category, which are suitable for short investment periods. Ultra short-term funds were earlier known as liquid plus funds. Liquid funds invest in money market instruments with a maturity of 91 days or less. However, there are no such restrictions for ultra short-term funds. Who should invest in these? These are open-ended schemes. Investors with a short investment horizon or with surplus cash and low risk appetite should look at these. These could include corporate as well as retail investors. Those interested in staying invested for less than 15 days can opt for liquid funds. Retail investors who want to remain invested for two-four months, can look at ultra short-term funds. The short duration for both liquid and ultra short-term funds shields them from any interest rate volatility.   What kind of returns do they offer? In terms of an investment period less than 15 days, these funds are comparable to a ba...

Mutual Fund Reivew: Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative

Birla Sun Life Asset Allocation Conservative has numbers on its side to prove its credibility… Don't be surprised to find this Fund of Funds ( FoF ) in our recommendations. It has earned its place. And despite the difference in the structure of the product, there is no arguing with the numbers.   Of the total 6 years of its existence, the fund has been among the top 10 funds in its category in four of them. Last year it put up an average show and the only year it underperformed its peers was in 2008.   One aspect to look at when investing in an FoF is the expense ratio. The expense ratio of an FoF is capped at a lower limit of 0.75 per cent (2.50% for an actively managed fund). However, the FoF not only has its own expense (though lower) but even the expense ratio of the fund it is investing into. Fortunately, the fund manager takes that into account. "Expense is one of the important criteria used for fund selection and is the main reason for our investment in BSL Ind...
