LIC OR ENDOWMENT PLANS :

Endowment Life Insurance Plans Offered By LIC. An endowment life insurance policy is a policy that couples the benefits of the concept of life insurance with the concept of savings. These policies, unlike pure term insurance, provide death and maturity benefits.

New Endowment Policy offered by LIC is a non-market linked plan which offers participating benefit. For individuals who want to save along with their life insurance then New Endowment plan is suitable option for them. New Endowment Plan of LIC provides financial security to the insured’s family if the insured faces an unfortunate death during the term of the policy. Lump-sum amount is paid as maturity benefit if the policyholder survives the term of the policy.

Why should you buy an Endowment Policy?

Every individual faces two risks when it comes to investing. The first one is life risk. What happens to their investment plans if they are no longer around? This is where life insurance is handy. The insurance company pays the sum assured on death to policy holder’s nominees in case of policy holder’s death. The second risk is investment risk. What happens if investment returns become negative? This is where guaranteed savings benefits come. Both these two risks are covered by an endowment policy. So, one policy does the job of two.
Endowment policyholders get his/her sum assured on maturity. Such endowment policies are best-suited for meeting various financial needs such as funding children's education and their marriage. You can also use an endowment policy for uses like retirement corpus building or buying a house.
In case of untimely death of the policyholder, the insurer pays the entire sum assured (plus the bonus, if any) to the nominee of the policy. So, nothing changes the financial status of the policyholder’s family.

LIQUID FUNDS as a Saving Option:

Liquid funds are debt mutual fund that invest in liquid assets for a shorter duration of time. While Savings account is a bank account that works as a liquid fund but offers fixed returns on your savings. Liquid funds not only keep your money available like a savings account but also offer better returns than them.

Liquid Funds tend to give almost similar returns as short term FDs. However, they can be an excellent alternative to FDs for two reasons. One, there is no lock-in period you need to commit to, and second, you don't need to pay any penalty if you withdraw after 7 days of investment.

Benefits of liquid funds:

Liquid funds offer the following benefits:
No lock-in period: Liquid funds do not any lock-in period.
Easy redemption: Redeeming liquid funds is very easy and the money will be credited in 1-2 days in the individual’s bank account.

Different plans available: Liquid funds are available for different time periods like daily, weekly, monthly, dividend and growth plans. One can choose any plan based on their requirements and tenure.
