My Views

Insurance and risk cover –

If you are planning to purchase LIC Aadhaar Stambh for insurance cover you should think twice. The maximum sum assured under this policy is Rs. 3 Lakh. This sum assured is not enough. The value of 3 Lakh after 20 years (policy term) will be very less. The Premium paid for this policy is very high compared to typical term plan. In this value, you can get an insurance cover of Rs.50 Lakh or above.

If you are looking for risk cover Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana offers risk cover of Rs.2 Lakh at an annual premium of Rs.330, which is much cheaper than this policy.

Investment –

LIC Aadhaar Stambh is like typical endowment plan that will end up giving you return in the range of 5-6%. This plan offers loyalty addition after 5 years. However, No bonus is payable on this plan. So it is a big no for this plan from an investment point of view.

The only benefit offered by this plan is auto cover option and no need for a medical checkup.

I hope I have done my job with a sense of your satisfaction, now it is up to you to either invest in LIC Aadhaar Stambh Plan or not.
