Star Union Dai-ichi’s Suraksha Kavach Plan

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) recently released revised guidelines on reinstating lapsed unit-linked insurance plans (Ulips). Under this regime, which comes into effect from November 1, policyholders can revive their Ulips up to two years from the date of discontinuance. This extension could mean that individuals who miss a couple of premium payments need not fear that the policy would lapse. However, the norms for traditional endowment policies — which allow reinstatement only if it is done within six months from the date of the first unpaid premium — remain unchanged. And, only a handful of plans in the country offer the flexibility to policyholders finding themselves briefly unable to honour their premium commitments.

Star Union Dai-ichi's Suraksha Kavach, a participating endowment plan, aims to be one of them, going by its official product literature. Its feature promising continuation of the life cover even in the event of premiums not being paid for three years (from the date of the first unpaid premium) is listed as its unique selling point (USP). It allows you to take a break from premium payment any time after paying at least two full years' premiums. In case of the insured's death during this period, the sum assured along with the vested bonus, if any, is paid to the survivor(s).

Upon resumption of premium payment, however, the amount you pay will be set off against the unpaid premiums, starting with the first one. If all unpaid premiums are paid in full, the policyholder will be entitled to the policy benefits even if the premium is not paid for three years again.

A 35-year-old healthy individual opting for a Rs 10-lakh basic cover and a policy tenure of 20 years will have to shell out an annual premium of Rs 50,910. The minimum age at entry is 18 years, with 50 years being the upper limit. Similarly, the insured has to be at least 28 and cannot be older than 65 at maturity. The policy term varies between 10 and 25 years.

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.

Retirement planning from a long-term perspective

A little boy's journey into adulthood and the story of a Welsh valley's turn of-the-century descent from pristine paradise to despoiled coal mining. I thought of the title because it is comparatively reflective of a person's life the glorious years when he is earning and the sun down years when he is not having his regular job and, hence, his living standards comes down. The reason is a combination of things. Inflation of food items, transport, increase in health related costs in the later years of life and increase in expenses in almost all basic amenities of life. In India, the social security system is almost non-existent. In some states, wherever it is available, the scales of benefits are extremely modest...

BANK FDs for Tax Saving

This is probably the easiest way to save tax if you have a Netbanking account . After the demonetisation and the digital push, almost everyone has one. A few clicks of the mouse and your tax planning is done. However, as mentioned earlier, this convenience comes at a very high cost. Interest rates have come down significantly and are close to 7-7.5% right now. The bigger problem is that the interest is fully taxable. It is added to the income of the investor and taxed at the marginal rate applicable to him. In the highest 30% tax bracket , the post-tax yield is close to 5%. Even so, tax-saving fixed deposits are suitable for risk averse investors, especially senior citizens who might already have hit the ` 15 lakh ceiling in the Senior Citizens' Saving Scheme and don't want to lock in money for the long term in a PPF account . Though NSCs offer higher rates than most banks, many senior citizens prefer to invest in deposits of their own banks, because they get better service ...
