Aviva LifeShield Plus

 

Objective

This is a pure term insurance plan with death benefits. One can choose two riders with the policy- dreaded disease and accident death.

What does it do?

The nominees receive death benefit on demise of the policyholder and there is no maturity benefit available. The two riders can be availed only with the regular premium payment option.

Pros

The combination of accident death benefit and dreaded disease enhance the scope of cover in this plan.
Dreaded disease rider provides extra protection on 18 listed diseases.
Policies with sum assured greater than Rs 25 lakh are can avail rebate on premium.
Women can avail premium at rates lower than men, as they have lower mortality rate.
With the combination of accident and dreaded disease rider; the policyholder can maximise deductions under Section 80C and Section 80DD on premiums paid.

Cons

The minimum sum assured in this plan is Rs 10 lakh.

Suited for

This policy is suitable for those looking for high value term plans because there is no limit on the sum assured.

Our View

A pure risk term plan is a definite buy for everyone. Although there is a single premium option available in the plan, which also comes with surrender value, we would recommend you to avoid it. Single premium plan may prove to be expensive as compared to regular premium payment option as you lock in a large amount for a fixed cover. The reason we say this is because in case something goes wrong in early years of the policy, you have already paid a huge chunk of amount as premium to the insurance company. The dreaded disease and accident death benefit rider enhance the scope of cover. The dreaded disease rider qualifies for deductions under Section 80D. The rider will automatically terminate if policyholder develops any of the 18 listed diseases.

Nifty F&O

  1. What is a straddle? A strategy using Nifty options usually before a major event or when one is uncertain of market direction. Comprises purchase of a Nifty call and put option of the same strike price. Usually strikes are purchased closer to the level of the underlying index. 2. What is better ­ buying or selling a straddle? It depends.Implied volatili ty of options, or near-term expectations of price swings in an un derlier like Nifty , usually peaks before an event and falls when the outcome plays out ­ like Infy re sults in past years.

Changing the scheme preference in NPS

The NPS allows subscribers to choose the pension fund schemes in which they would like their contributions to be invested, as well as the pension fund manager who will manage their money. Subscribers can indicate their preference by mentioning the ratio in which their contribution will be invested in equity, corporate bonds and government bonds. They can also change this preference if they wish to do so. Here's how to go about it. Active vs auto As an alternative to choosing fund schemes, the NPS offers an auto choice where the proportions are pre-decided based on the age of the subscriber. The ratios cannot be modified in the auto choice, without changing the mode to active. Corporate If the subscriber is investing in the NPS through his corporate employer, the employer should offer all the options that the subscribers can choose from to change their preference. Physical form A form, UOS-S3CS-S3, has to be filled in and submitted to the PoP-SP through which the NPS account was ope...
