LIC Jeevan Tarun Which Option I should select?

Well buying decision for this policy entirely lies on you. From my point of view you should not purchase this policy, however if you decide to purchase LIC Jeevan Tarun policy you should select option 4 as survival and maturity option. If you select other options your money will be blocked for longer duration.

Should I buy LIC Jeevan Tarun Policy?

LIC Jeevan Tarun Policy (Table 834) seems to be typical money back policy. Before purchasing this policy you should be clear that why you want to buy this policy.

Do you want to buy this policy for risk cover?

Obvious answer of this question will be NO. Parents will never think of purchasing insurance policy for children. Children are not earning member of family, hence question of risk coverage does not arise. Parents should purchase term plan with suitable amount on their name.

Do you want to buy this policy for Educational need?

Education expense are increasing every year. Let’s take example you want to make your child engineer and for this you want to make investment.  Do you buy LIC Jeevan Tarun for that? If you ask me it is big NO.

Reason – Current cost of engineering course is 12 Lac today. This cost is expected to grow at 9% rate. It will be probably 50-60 Lac after 25 years.  Do you think that peanut returns of LIC Children’s Money Back plan Jeevan Tarun will be enough for your child education after 25 Years? Looking at experience effective return in this plan will be 6% only.

Looking at growing Inflation rate you need investment option which will provide returns in range of 12-15% at least.  You should think twice before purchasing LIC Jeevan Tarun Policy. One should explore investment option like equity, mutual funds for child’s education.
