Big banks of the country are offering 5-6% interest rate on fixed deposits (FD). 50 rupees per thousand basic sum assured will get high return and it will also be tax free. The calculation is done on the basic sum assured, not on the premium amount.
Understand this by example – Suppose a 30-year-old person takes an insurance of Rs 10 lakh for 15 years, then he will have to pay the premium for only 10 years. The 10-year premium will be Rs 82,545. In this case, the insured will get an additional Rs 50,000 per year for 15 years or Rs 7,50,000 on maturity. That is, the policyholder will get a total of Rs 17,50,000 (Rs 7,50,000 + Rs 10 lakh) on maturity.
