It’s that time of the year when you have to submit the Investment Proofs (Tax saving investments) to your employers. It is also the right time for most of the Life Insurance / Financial advisors to push financial products in the name of tax benefit and insurance cover.

LIC has launched its second new plan of 2021 called – LIC Bachat Plus on 15th March, 2021. LIC Bachat Plus (Plan No.861) is a Traditional, Non-linked, Non-participating and Life Insurance Savings Plan. 

Under this plan, the premium can be paid either as Lumpsum (Single Premium) or as Limited Premium with a Premium Payment Term of 5 years. The Policy shall participate in the profits in the form of Loyalty Additions.

This new plan is available for sale through online as well as offline modes, for a maximum period of 180 days from the launch date.

If you are unsure on which type of life insurance policy to buy, kindly go through the below article;

At the end of policy tenure and on the life assured surviving to the end of the policy term, “Sum Assured on Maturity” along with accrued Loyalty Additions (if any), shall be payable as maturity benefit. (Where “Sum Assured on Maturity” is equal to the Basic Sum Assured.)

LIC Bachat Plus Plan Returns Calculation

Let us consider an example – Mr Shah (35 year) wants to invest in LIC’s new plan Bachat Plus policy, with a Policy Term of 25 Yrs, Premium Paying Term 5 Yrs and for Sum Assured Rs 1 Lakh. The expected yearly premium will be Rs 9,215 (exluding GST).

LIC Bachat Plus Plan – Should you Invest? | My Opinion

Kindly consider the below points before investing in LIC’s latest plan – Bachat Plus plan;

  • Returns : As per the above calculations the IRR is around 6.5% which may look attractive given the current low-interest rate scenario that we are in. But, the interest rate cycle can move upwards over the next few years and this kind of return may look very low at that time. Also, note that we have assumed a high LA rate in the above calculation. So, if you are happy with 6% (long-term) returns on your investment (with almost no risk factor & tax-free income), you can consider investing in these kind of plans. Else, you have plethora of investment avenues to consider.
  • Life Insurance Cover : The premium rates on Traditional plans are much higher than the term insurance plans. If you are buying an Endowment plan or money-back policy for life cover then kindly note that you are paying a very high premium for a low life cover. You can consider taking an online Term plan to get an adequate life insurance cover.
  • Tax saving is an additional benefit : Insurance is primarily for Protection and not for saving Taxes. Kindly note that Tax saving is an additional benefit and should not be THE deciding factor when buying an insurance policy. Also, if you are opting for the new tax regime, note that you can not claim tax deductions u/s 80c.
  • Erosion of wealth : Life insurance policies are long-term contracts. When you are investing for long-term, would you like to get decent inflation adjusted returns or not? Your endowment or money-back plans are low-yielding investments. These may give you negative inflation adjusted returns.

I am sure you are now very clear on how much returns can we expect from these kind of traditional policies. The Investment Returns of around 4% to 6% that too over a period of 10 to 25 years sounds very low for me. Kindly be aware of the pros & cons financial products before you invest. Let me know your views. Do share your comments. Cheers!
