From today onward LIC started to offer new plans which are according to new IRDA Regulations. LIC closed its existing plans by 31st Dec 2013. So from this month onward you will find plenty of new featured plans. The first plan in the list is “Single Premium Endowment Plan, Table No.817”. Let see what it actually offers.
It is a single premium policy and contains the below features.
Below is the loan availability % based on the total surrender value.
So is it beneficial to invest?
Let us consider a person whose age is 30 years, interested to invest Rs.1,00,000 for a term of 25 years, then the premium will be Rs.48,545 (Including 3.09% Service Tax). It looks great at first instant as for getting SA of Rs.1,00,000 you are paying less than half of it. But do remember that this is the traditional plan and you need to wait for 25 years. In terms of liquidity this plan seems good. But when you consider as an investment tool then my suggestion will be “STAY AWAY”.

my son is 18 yrs old and is mentally challenged. i want to know a single premium plan for him so that he will get a monthly income for life time after 10-15 yrs.
Mishra-If your intention is to have corpus for his monthly expenses after 10-15 years, then better to opt equity mutual funds and debt in proper asset allocation. Never run behind such endowment plans.

Mr Basavaraj
This is regarding Single Premium Endowment Plan-817
I've heard that there is an option to reinvest the Maturity Benefits in Jeevan Nidhi
further to get a pension per month for the life term.
Are they exempted from tax? – (i.e. the Maturity Benefits (SA+Bonus+FAB)
which will be credited to the account / the pension which will be received every month)
Satyanarayana-Jeevan Nidhi is not an immediate annuity plan. I don't know who said this and how they planned. Also, any amount you receive from pension plans are taxed.
Dear Basavaraj
Can you suggest a single premium policy for my nephew who is 1 yr old. I have just 20oo0 rupees to invest as a single premium and expect that it would be of some help to her at 18 yrs of age
Channa-If you really concern about this money and his future, then stay away from a product or policy offered by insurance companies.
Dear sir
I'm thinking about my daughter she is now just 2 year old and i want good benefits for her marriage
I'll invest 50000 per year to five year and after want to return 2000000 on her age of marriage.
Please advise me which plan good for her
Mohammed-Use equity mutual funds and debt product (PPF or Short Term Debt product) in a ratio of 70:30. Don't touch these endowment products. Refer my post regarding equity mutual funds selection at "Top 10 Best SIP Mutual Funds to invest in India in 2016".
Hello Basavaraj, I am 29 year old married woman. How much annual premium do i have to pay for a LIC term plan of 1 crore cover.
Ritwika-You need insurance of investment?
I WANT ONE TIME INVESTMENT PLAN WHICH GIVES MONTHLY INCOME TO MY PARENTS I DONT WANT TO WARRY FOR THEM
Nishith-Use either Postal MIS or you can think of LIC's Jeevan Akshay VI too.

Basant-Before running for tax saving purpose, first understand your financial goals. It is purely wrong to invest in any product ONLY to save TAX.
