Should you buy Jeevan Shagun?
Jeevan shagun is typical non-linked money back close ended plan. As it is closed ended plan once you buy this policy you have to stay invested for 12 years.
It is like 12 year fixed deposit with additional benefit of risk cover and partial money back benefit. Let’s try to compare this policy with fixed deposit.
If you look at above comparison fixed deposit surely beat this plan in terms of returns, but in fixed deposit returns is taxable (As per tax slab) while Jeevan Shagun is expected to give tax-free return.
On and average if you are happy with 7-8% return like FD than you can think of purchasing Jeeavn Shagun which gives you additional benefit of risk cover.
