Wouldn’t it be great if you could buy an insurance policy that also multiplies your wealth? That’s a Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) for you. A ULIP gives you the advantage of investing in an insurance policy and a mutual fund without having to make two separate investments. They are investment products that offer good […]
IRDA has twin objectives of development of the industry as well as protection of the policyholder. Both the objectives are interlinked and unless the policyholders’ interests are protected the industry cannot achieve the required penetration. The policyholder protection acquires much more significance for IRDA as the rural population is either totally illiterate or financially illiterate. The role of the agent becomes crucial in educating the rural policyholders about the features of the product and the consequences of taking certain protection and not taking certain protections from the insurance. Further, the agents are supposed to educate the policyholders about the risks involved in complex products like ULIPs.
Life Insurance Corporation of India today launched ‘Samridhi Plus’ under its unit linked portfolio offering insurance protection, safety and growth. Samridhi Plus safeguards policyholders’ investment from market fluctuations, LIC said in a statement here.

The Life Insurance Corporation of India has made a strong case for continuing tax breaks on life insurance policies bought with an investment objective. Referring to the Direct Tax Code proposal that extends tax-breaks to only those policies that have a sum insured of at least 20 times the premium paid, LIC chairman TS Vijayan said the important thing was that life insurance investments were long-term and protection-oriented.
Union Finance Minister, Shri Pranab Mukherjee has asked the insurance companies to create awareness among the poor and vulnerable section of the society especially the people living in rural areas so that they can avail the benefits of financial services. He further said that they may be informed about the benefits of the life insurance and insurance against natural calamities.
The new rules of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) take effect from September 1. Ulips, which contributed 80 per cent of the total premium collected by private companies, will see a dramatic change. Irda has capped the difference between net and gross yields during the policy term. Insurers will have to offer a minimum prescribed return even if a policyholder withdraws from the fund before maturity. For the fifth year, the cap is fixed at four per cent.
Under the DTC Bill, the annual deduction has been raised to Rs. 1.5 lakh. From the bill It appears that investments in PPF, PF, NPS, pure life insurance policies, savings schemes as notified by the government are eligible for this deduction under EEE category.
