Whether I should surrender or continue "LIC Endowment Plan (UIN: 512N277V01)"?
I took "LIC’s NEW ENDOWMENT PLAN (UIN: 512N277V01)" in 2017 at age 24 for 35 years.
Sum Assured -> 10,50,000
Premium -> 29,000 approx p.a.
The maturity amount is around 50 lakhs after 35 years.
As far as the rate of return is concerned, it is approximately 8%.
If I do the SIP of 2417 per month for 35 years assuming 10% rate of return which is below average, I would receive ₹ 92,52,945.
The difference is approx. 42 lakhs.
Is this plan worth keeping for another 29 years or should I surrender it?
Dear Shubham
You have made a right decision and continue as per arguments below :
1. Insurance offer unique proposition that purpose of saving is achieved whether you are live or not .
2. In your saving basket , there should be product of all features . Rs 29000 is a very small amount for long term purpose .
3. Buy another term insurance which complete
s your purpose of insurance then allocate most of your saving in mutual fund .
4. As thumbrule , if you are saving Rs 1 lakh per annum then Rs 30000 should be in insurance through a combination of term and new endowment , rest 70000 shpuld be in mutual fund .

Dear Shubham,
You are on the right path. Please convert your policy to paid up and start a SIP every month. 8% from LIC plan is quite optimistic.... my understanding is it will be around 6%.
