LIC Jeevan Shikhar – Should you buy this Policy?

Before reaching to any conclusion let’s look at positive and negatives of this policy.

Positives

  1. Ten times Risk coverage on single premium.
  2. Loan facility available after 3 months

Negatives

  1. On event of death before commencement of risk only premium paid will be returned.
  2. Bonus is not payable on maturity.
  3. Expected Return provided by this policy is very low.

I could not find any good reason to buy this policy. If you are planning to buy this policy from risk coverage point of view it is better to plan term plan. If you are planning buy this policy from investment point of view it’s Big NO. It is better to invest in other investment option like PPF, ELSS etc. If you are happy with peanut returns of LIC Jeevan Shikhar you may purchase.

LIC Jeevan Shikhar is only gimmick by LIC to attract last minute tax saver for investment. You should stay away from Jeevan Shikhar.
