Beware of scams by Insurance companuies like HDFCLIFE especially their policy named Sanchay Plus(SPL). I went to the HDFCLIFE office in Bangalore to close my earlier policies and they convinced me to put 1.50L in the above policy of policy#26805792 which is basically a scam. Let me tell you why. You have to pay 1.50L per year for 10 years plus GST for initial years, where your family members get 16L anytime you die. After 10 years you don't get any life insurance but get 2.6L each year for 10 years.
Please note you can get a 16L life insurance for 10K premium per annum. So you are left with 1L 40k per annum. Even if you do FDs of 1.40L per year at 7% pa for 10yrs you will get a return of around 20L lumpsum at the end of 10years and dont have to wait every year after that for part payment. Moreover you will also save the GST paid for the initial years. Please be careful about this.
Also bigger scam is when I paid for first year and lost my job and told them to close it before second term and they said they can't return my money because Guaranteed Surrender time period is 2 years which is a bigger scam. So they want me to pay another 1.50L+ GST(totaling 3.16L) and then close the policy and they will return back only 92k(now I am losing 1.58L but if I closeit next year, I will lose 2.22L).
So basically they are just fooling us.
