should you need insurance at all it would be more prudent to opt for a term plan + invest in a mutual fund which would be give better returns that an investment in ulips.
As a matter of fact the groups having presence in both mutual fund and insurance, The gains garnered by mutual funds are much higher than the schemes of insurance companies of the same group.

I have a doubt. Suppose you take an TATA AIG Gold ULIP (less than an year since inception). The minimum is 50,000/year. the present NAV is approx 14.7. You pay this amount for 5 years. consider that the present NAV increases by 40-60% yearly. And also it is a closed fund for the term and after there is an option of redemption or continue. but you redeem only a part and keep the rest. (important coz you still get the tax benefit even after the period is over)

a) there must be some tax benefits other than just the charges everyone talks about
b) even if there are charges, the tax advantage must surely weigh against the disadvantage of the charges.
c) how different would be this particular ULIP against say ELSS.

thanks

You can get a term insurance from LIC for 10 lakhs for the annual premium of less than 5000 Rs. Invest the remaining 45,000/- Rs in a diversified mutual fund (check the 5 star/4 star rated funds in www.valueresearchonline.com). So you can earn more... depends on your risk portfolio....

As stated in so many threads, ULIPs are not good investment tools due to their massive monthly charges. Plan investing in ELSS & take a good term end plan separately.
You can find numerous reviews about ULIPs in various threads on traderji!

Welcome to investment world
Prefer ELSS over ULIP esp. when u dont need insurance.
Never place a bet on NFO
You may choose:
Birla Sunlife Tax Adv96
Principal Tax saver
Fidelity Tax Adv

Cheers
