Learn more about how investment plus insurance plans work | An investment instrument's only purpose is the growth of the capital invested. Almost the entire amount paid is invested. Based on one's investment objective, a fund with a suitable proportion of equity and debt can be chosen |
Key Benefit | Life cover + investments and other benefits | Long-term wealth creation |
Tax Benefit (Up to Rs. 46000 a year) | Premium paid towards a ULIP is available for deduction under Sec. 80C. The Income Tax Act also allows exemption on partial withdrawal or maturity amount under Sec. 10(10D) | Only the investments in an Equity Linked Savings Scheme (ELSS) are eligible for tax deduction under Sec. 80C |
Investment Charges | Fund management charges are deducted from the invested amount. Since ULIPs have an insurance component, it charges a little higher than those for mutual funds | Fund management charges, loads (entry and exit), transaction charges, etc., are deducted from the invested amount |
