To decide upon whether you should go for ULIPS like wealth Plus, I would like to know how much educated you are. Don't mind but its necessary for your financial planning.
If you are educated I will advice you to take Term Insurance + Pure Mutual Funds seperately.
Disadvantages of LIC wealth Plus
- For every month they will charge you mortality charges and fund managment charges
- There is a significant agent commision involved in ULIPS which will finally go from your pocket.
- The insurance cover you will get from term insurance with same amount will be much more than ULIP
- You have no control in which ratio your money will be invested in debts/equities. With Indian economy about to
quadruple by 2020 pure mutual funds will defintely give you much more than ULIPS at the end of your term.
