by Holistic Leave a Comment | Filed Under: Insurance

What is LIC Navjeevan plan all about? What are its salient features? How this can benefit investors? Is it worth investing in LIC Navjeevan Plan? Should you invest in LIC Navjeevan Plan or is there any better alternate to this?

What is LIC Navjeevan Plan all about?

LIC Navjeevan 853 is the new insurance plan by LIC unveiled on 18 March, 2019.

Ever since the launch on, there has been much hype about the LIC’s Navjeevan 853. Apart from life insurance coverage, this new policy is also seen as a tax-saving investment instrument.

It is a non-linked, with profit endowment plan.

A non-linked insurance plan means it is not linked to the stock market or mutual funds ergo risk factor is not a concern.

Also, at the time of maturity the holder will receive an assured sum along with the Loyalty Addition. In case of death of the life insured while the plan is in-force, the nominee will receive the sum assured on death.

SHOULD YOU INVEST IN LIC’s NAVJEEVAN POLICY 853?

Have you read all the Navjeevan 853 policy features, benefits and the conditions attached to it?

Should you invest? Or are there better options available?

Here’s what I suggest!

The LIC’s Navjeevan 853 insurance policy really has some first time features that other life insurance policies do not have. In addition to the life coverage, the tax saving option is another major reason for people to go for LIC’s Navjeevan 853 policy.

However, when considering the long term returns in such policies, Navjeevan 853 is not impressive in any terms.

For example:

Let’s say you are buying the limited premium Navjeevan 853 insurance plan with the following assumptions. Choosing the yearly premium payment mode for Basic Sum Assured of ₹5 lakh would be the best option to cut on income tax (at least that is the mainstream idea).

I am also assuming entry age as 25 years, because lesser the age, lesser will be the insurance premium.

Entry Age 25
Basic Sum Assured ₹ 10,00,000
Term of Policy 18 Years
Yearly Premium ₹ 96,506 (1st year only)
Sum of All Premiums (5 Premiums) ₹ 4,74,218
Expected Return ~6%

An expected return of approximately 6% for a long term period of 18 years is never a go-to option in any place of the world. The expected maturity value is Rs.12.29 Lacs from Navjeevan Policy.

If life insurance is your major concern, you can always opt for a term insurance.

The naming of insurance policies as an investment option is only an act of pushing the product into the market. Experts recommend individuals to keep the investments and insurance in separate pockets. It is because insurance policies can never be an investment. It would be an exaggeration to even call it a savings instrument.

Alternate Option 1:

Instead of “investing” in LIC’s Navjeevan 853 policy or such endowment plan buy a term insurance policy and invest the balance in PPF. The table below illustrates how you can get insured and generate a higher return with the same amount.

Amount Available (Total Premium of Navjeevan 853) ₹4,74,218
Entry Age 25 Years
Sum Assured at Death ₹ 25,00,000
Yearly Premium ₹ 2987
Total Difference Amount available for investing in other investments ₹93519

Investing the difference amount, after paying the annual term insurance premium, in PPF account would amount to more than ₹16.11 lakh in o18 years at 8% interest rate. Remember, you are also covered for ₹25 lakhs of life insurance at the same time for the same amount.

Alternate option 2:

If you are a person familiar with taking calculated risks, you can invest the same difference amount in equity mutual funds as SIP. Equity mutual fund SIPs offer an expected return of 12%, which is literally 200% higher than what Navjeevan 853 plan offers.

By investing the same money in a combination of term insurance and equity mutual fund sip will give an expected value of Rs.26.59 lacs (after tax) at the end of 18 years along with 25 lacs life cover.

Final Verdict

Introducing a new endowment insurance plan every year is nothing more than a selling strategy. It is a product targeted at salaried employees in the name of tax-saving. Ultimately, LIC’s Navjeevan 853 is the same old product in a different new wrapper.

If you are a risk-averse investor, you can choose to invest in term insurance + PPF combination.

If you are comfortable taking risk, you can choose to invest in term insurance + Equity Mutual Fund SIP combination. Equity funds deliver much better returns for all long term investments.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners for the last three years. Mr. Srinivasavaradhan answered all my questions and doubts very patiently during the first free consultation. I was able to clearly define my short-, medium- and long-term goals once I signed up for the comprehensive plan and got their investment plan suggestion to achieve my goals. They are very polite and highly professional whenever I contact them for any queries or make investments. They never pressurize you to invest on their recommended financial products. I would have been lost money by investing directly without their help since I do not have time and knowledge about different financial products. Risk planning is also done as part of financial planning. Truly, they are holistic planners when it comes to your financial planning. They help you to define your life goals, understand your financial resources and establish a plan to invest towards reaching those goals. They do review your plan as you progress to make sure that you are on correct path to achieve those goals. Kudos to the team and keep up the good work!!! I am happy that I found holistic investment planners for my financial planning and management.

I was about to retire and really not understanding how to invest money to have financial freedom and fulfilling my goals. Was desperately searching on internet way out and fortunately came across Holistic Investment Planners. I read number of articles on their website and realized that this is the agency which I want and engaged their services for my retirement planning. It is an excellent experience to be associated with Holistic. Right from day one our interaction was fantastic and they gave me such a wonderful plan that I had never imagined. I am fortunate enough to be in the client list of Holistic. I have recommended Holistic to my friends as well.

I have been using Holistic Investment Planners from last one year. The journey has been fantastic. Being a finance person myself I always thought we can look after and plan own finances also. However, due to lack of time and deciplain the things are not always as desired. After joining with Holistic Investment for the first time Icame to know the Financial goals and quantified them. Some dreams were unrealistic based on the earnings and savings so had a reality check. Also got the information and deciplain of investing on regular and more rewarding securities. I definetly suggest to use Holistic Investment Planners. They are professionals, available and hear youor full story before presenting plans. They are flexile in the sense if there are some urgent deviations required, they help to plan the same. For all professionals/individuals I would suggest using professional help of Holistic Investment Planners for best results in long term investment and financial goals achivements. Last advise will be to start early in your life. It really pays well to start in the beginning itself else the dreams needs to adjust :)

I came to know about Holistic Investment Planners online while searching for different investment ideas. Once I contacted them the journey was very smooth. Mr. Ramalingam explained all the aspects of Financial planning in detail and it opened my mind. I realized how important it is to have a Financial planning. Mr. Rajan suggested all the requirements as per my goals and made a Investment plan keeping in mind of my goals. I started my Investment journey with them. I wish I had done it some years back then it would have been in a different level. Review meetings were held every six month to check the implementation of the plan and check the results as per the requirements and to check if any changes required. Overall it was a good experience with Holistic Investment team and would like to continue in the years to come.

I came across Holistic investment planners almost 5-6 years back, but I did not have the trust since I had met a few of them who did not sound promising. Then I started investing through a financial advisor of my friend. After 4 years of investing the returns were very low. I was disappointed and started looking for financial advisors when I came across Holistic investment. I had a detailed discussion about my goals and the way they would approach achieving my goal before deciding to switch my investments to them. After a thorough analysis of my then existing portfolios, they suggested new ones and we zeroed-in on 6 schemes/funds where our investment would be split. I am glad I made the decision of switching over and taking Holistic planner's advise, my returns are handsome and I only wish I could have taken their help/advise 5 years back itself. Neverthless, I would like to recommend their services for investment and financial advise if someone is serious about their investments.
