[Resolved]  HDFC Bank Life Insurance Pension Plus — Cancelling HFDC Life Policy# 12259616 and Premium amount refund

I was misguided by an agent and took the HDFC Life Insurance policy number 12259616. I was interested in mid-term investment plan and I had no insurance requirement. I was told by the agent that I’ve to invest for three years only then I can stop payment premium and in the 6th year I’ll get double of the amount I’ve invested. But after getting the policy document and illustrated statement I understood that it will be never possible in this insurance plan because more than 65% of the premium amount was deducted as various charges. I'm feeling completely misguided by the agent, the agent never told me about very high premium allocation and fund management charges, he should have shown me sample "projected statement" which is provided with the policy document. The day I received the policy document and illustrated statement in the same day I submitted application for canceling the policy under the IRDA lookup period rule. Also I claimed a 100% refund without any kind of deduction (they should collect their charges from those agents who are misleading potential investors). Today I’ve got letter from HDFC Life insurance that they are not going to cancel the policy and refund me amount. This is the worst, street hawkers are more reliable than HDFC Life insurance.

i want to buy Term Insurance
Please contact me I am cheated by same hdfc .I asked for yearly one lakh and they made it qaurterly.
I asked them to change it 15 days and they never did it and I ma in loss.
I took a HDFC pension policy in Feb 09 and since then the stock market went high. When i checked the policy growth on internet i was shocked that HDFC is charging me 40% monthly from my premium which i was not aware. I was told that 60% of amont will be allocated and 40% amount will be in saving actully 40% is the charges PER MONTH beside that you have management fee and other fees. The policy is eating your premium forget about the returns. The HDFC staff miss guided me on premium charges. Where as other banks pension policy are applying 100% preimum to the policy with only 1% or 2% mangement fee. HDFC is a big cheater i was disappointed that how can they charge 40% per month. This is a suside policy not pension. I desided not to pay further premium though i will be lossing what i have paid since February 09.
