Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP)?

Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) is a type of insurance plan that combines investment and protection.

One portion of your premium is invested in stocks, bonds and other financial instruments so that your money grows based on the market’s performance. The remaining amount is invested in life insurance that will provide financial protection to your family. 

A unit-linked pension plan (or a market-linked pension plan) works in two phases :

a. Accumulation Phase - This period includes the time when you pay premiums to accumulate money. The regular contribution (premium) you make is invested by your insurance company on your behalf.

b. Reaping Phase - One-third of the corpus is paid to the policyholder while the remaining is invested in an annuity scheme.

At the end of the second phase, the investments, along with the benefits from the scheme are paid to you at regular intervals.” 

2. Where should i invest - ULIPs or Mutual Funds?

Unit Linked Insurance Plans are a type of life insurance plans that offer the dual benefit of investment and insurance. Mutual Funds is an investment product where several investors pools money and invests in stocks, bonds, money market instruments and other types of securities. 

What should you invest in - ULIP or Mutual Fund ? The answer is it depends on your financial goals and risk appetite. Both the instruments have unique benefits that suit different needs and hence it purely depends on which benefits help you attain your financial goals. Also, you need to keep in mind things like your risk appetite (low or medium or high), the time of investment (long-term or short-term), number of dependents and the need for coverage in case of an unfortunate event that will help you take the right decision for yourself.

3. Do I get tax benefits by investing in a ULIP?

Unit Linked Insurance Plans provide tax benefits under section 80C of income tax. The benefit is up to Rs 1.5 lakh.

A ULIP product comes with a lock-in period of five years. This product also comes under the exempt-exempt-exempt (EEE) category for the income tax.

You can get the tax benefit while investing which means the earnings from the fund are not taxable and the maturity is also not taxable under section 10D of income tax.

4. Do i get guaranteed returns in ULIPs?

Investment returns from ULIP may not be guaranteed.

In unit linked policies, the investment risk in the portfolio is chosen by the policyholder and hence borne by them as well. Depending upon the performance of the unit linked fund/s chosen (be it equity or debt or balanced); the policy holder may achieve gains or losses on his/her investments. Also, the past returns of a fund are not necessarily indicative of the future performance of the fund.

  • Discontinuation charges - It is to be paid at the time of discontinuation with the ULIP before lock-in period.
  • Mortality charges - This is charged basis Sum at Risk on every monthly anniversary  by cancelling of units
  • Surrender charges - It is levied in case of partial or premature withdrawal of units.
  • Premium allocation charges - It is a charge that is incurred towards issuing of a policy.

4 Tips to Get Better Returns with ULIPs

When you invest in ULIPs, to create a versatile portfolio, it is best to spread your risk and your investment across different asset classes. The primary determinant of risk and return in a portfolio is asset allocation. This ensures that your return gets balanced out - compensating for any loss made on any asset class with profits made by another. This therefore, reduces the overall risk of your investments.
