What are Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIP)?

image-star image-star image-star image-star image-star image-star image-cloud image-cloud image-cloud moon What Are Unit Linked Insurance Plans (ULIPs)?

Unit Linked Insurance Plans, or ULIPs, offer a unique blend of life insurance and investment opportunities, making them a suitable choice for those looking to secure their financial future while growing their wealth. ULIPs allow you to allocate your funds into different asset classes, such as equities, debts, and money markets, based on your risk tolerance and investment goals.

ULIPs are ideal for individuals seeking both a life insurance plan and the potential for investment earnings. It’s important to remember that investments in ULIPs involve risks—the returns can vary depending on market conditions.

A portion of your premium goes toward providing life insurance coverage. If you pass away during the term of the policy, your nominated beneficiaries will receive a death benefit, ensuring their financial support. To ensure you choose the right coverage, you can use a life insurance calculator to estimate the appropriate amount based on your financial goals and family needs. The rest of your premium is invested in your chosen asset classes, and the performance of these investments will determine the growth of your funds by the end of the policy period.

You can decide how much of your premium should be allocated to life insurance coverage and how much should be invested. This flexibility allows you to adjust your ULIP to meet your specific financial needs and future goals.

Which HDFC Life ULIP Plan is ideal for you?

At HDFC Life, we have several ULIP Plan options, so you can find one that best meets your financial needs. Our Top Recommended Solutions Suitable for you

How ULIP Plan By HDFC Life Helps You?

Watch Mr. Prasun Gajri, CIO HDFC Life answer all the questions on ULIP.

ULIPs can be really uncomplicated!

Tune in to this video to know all about ULIPs.

How Does A ULIP Plan Work?

How Does A ULIP Plan Work?

ULIP plans split premiums into two parts: one for life cover, ensuring financial security for loved ones, and the other for investment growth. Experienced fund managers offer guidance in choosing suitable funds, making it easier to align investments with financial goals while securing a stable future.

Why Invest in ULIPs?

There are several benefits of investing in ULIPs. Here are the top six reasons behind why you should consider investing in ULIPs:

1
1

Premium Redirection

With the premium redirection option, you can choose to invest your future premiums in different funds while keeping your previous premiums in the fund you originally selected. This means you can adjust your future investments without affecting the returns from your past contributions.

Switching Funds

With a ULIP (Unit Linked Insurance Plan), investors can switch between funds based on market conditions to align investment strategies with desired goals. The risk tolerance of each policyholder plays an important role in this decision. For those comfortable with higher risk, equity funds may be suitable, while debt funds are a better choice for those seeking lower risk. Adjustments can be made throughout the year after gaining a good understanding of the market.

Top up Plan

As your lifestyle and income change, your financial goals and objectives also change. To stay on track of your financial goals, you can choose to invest more in a ULIP. These plans provide the top-up option where a policyholder can invest more money in an existing plan during the policy tenure.

Lock-in Period Withdrawal Facility

ULIPs usually have a lock-in period lasting for 5 years. Unlike other tax-saving investment schemes that restrict premature withdrawals, ULIPs allow you to exit during the lock-in period. This kind of option lets you stay financially prepared during times of emergency.

Calculating Best ULIP Plan Returns Using the Power of Compounding

 

ULIPs help grow your wealth with compound interest. Let’s see how much your money can grow in various scenarios:
 

Monthly Contribution

Investment Period

Estimated Returns at 4%

Estimated Returns at 8%

INR 1,60,000

10 years

INR 2,30,51,725

INR 2,78,14,199

INR 87,000

15 years

INR 2,09,04,625

INR 2,83,46,806

INR 51,000

20 years

INR 1,82,24,184

INR 2,80,06,322

INR 20,000

30 years

INR 1,34,60,385

INR 2,71,87,970


As we can see from the table above, ULIPs work best when you stay invested for longer. Funds that offer a higher interest rate can boost your corpus, allowing you to build up a significant amount even if you start with a small contribution amount. From this demonstration, we understand the power of compounding and the role ULIP plays in building long-term wealth.

Types of ULIPs

Types of ULIPs based on the fund type

ULIPs are market-linked. But that does not mean the premium amounts are streamlined towards equity investments only. With Best ULIP Plans one can choose other financial instruments to invest in.

ULIP Type

Description

Equity ULIPs

In equity ULIPs, part of the payments is used to purchase equity shares, usually of multiple companies. This direct investment in equity makes it significantly more risky than other ULIPs, as the price fluctuations of the shares can directly impact the investment corpus. However, because of the very same reason, the potential for gains is also higher. Hence, equity ULIPs are ideal for investors with a high risk appetite.

Debt ULIPs

Investments made in debt ULIPs are directed towards debt instruments. This includes debentures, government bonds, corporate bonds, and fixed income bonds. These instruments pose low to moderate risk, making them a safer option. However, the returns from them are also moderate, and generally lesser than that of equity ULIPs.

Balanced funds ULIPs

To balance the risk to reward, some ULIPs offer the option to invest in equity as well as debt instruments. A portion of the fund is allocated to debt instruments with fixed interest rates and the rest is invested in equity. Doing so essentially lowers the overall risk factor of investing in only equity. This stabilizes the fund, resulting in reliable returns.

Liquid funds ULIPs

The credit rating for liquid funds ULIPs investments is often high, making them reliable options. It has a low risk factor and is ideal for investors looking for safer options. This type of ULIP invests the money in highly liquid market instruments such as certificates of deposit (CD) and treasury bills. Liquid funds ULIPs also have a short maturity period of only a few weeks to months. Hence, Liquid Fund ULIPs may be considered the best ULIP plans for achieving short-term financial goals.

Cash funds ULIPs

Cash funds ULIPs invest in monetary funds invested in banks. These instruments are exceptionally low-risk. Consequently, the returns they provide are the least amongst all ULIP types. Investors that are very much risk-averse can choose to opt for cash funds ULIPs.

Types of ULIPs based on the plan structure

ULIPs can also be classified according to the structure of the payments, payouts and the type of goal they are expected to fund.

Regular v/s single premium ULIPs

Regular v/s single premium ULIPs

A regular premium ULIP requires the policyholder to make regular premium payments until the ULIP plan attains maturity. The interval of payment is often flexible. A single premium ULIP plan requires only a one-time premium payment at the time of purchase of policy.

Guaranteed v/s non-guaranteed ULIPs

Guaranteed v/s non-guaranteed ULIPs

Guaranteed ULIPs are focused on preserving the investor’s wealth while non-guaranteed ULIPs focus on wealth creation. Guaranteed ULIPs tend to provide stable returns over a long time while non-guaranteed ULIPs invest a bigger percentage of the premium into equity markets. Non-guaranteed ULIPs have the potential for higher returns, but come with greater risk.

ULIPs focused on different life stages

ULIPs focused on different life stages

ULIPs also come as life stage-based plans that invest in both equity and debt, as well as progressively add low-risk debt instruments as the investor ages. For younger investors, the plans often begin with more equity instruments to tap into high returns and build wealth. With time, the ULIPs aim for stable returns by lowering risk, positioning them among the best ULIP plans for long-term financial stability.

The flexibility of switching between different funds has to be the key feature provided by the best ULIP plans. Based on your financial goals, market situation, and risk-taking ability you can switch between different funds to maximize your ULIP returns. Apart from the ability to switch, ULIPs provide the additional feature of partial withdrawals. After the lock-in period, an investor can withdraw a certain amount of money to meet their emergency fund requirements. This feature comes to aid when you are faced with unforeseen circumstances and are in dire need of money.

How to Choose the Best ULIP Plans in India?

ULIP is one of the most sought-after investments options for individuals with a long-term financial plan for growing their wealth and ensuring the financial security of their family in case of untimely death. There are several ULIP plans available in the market. Here are some key factors to be kept in mind that would help you choose the best ULIP plan as per your financial disposition and risk appetite.

How to manage ULIP Funds?

You can opt to manage your ULIP in the following ways:
Self- Switching your ULIP

Self-Switching

If you’d like to manage the fund yourself, you can opt for self-switching. You can decide to change your premium allocation based on your investment portfolio, risk appetite and future financial goals. Most ULIP plan providers allow you to make a number of free switches during each policy year.

Opt for Automatic Switching

Automatic Switching

If you aren’t very comfortable managing your investment, you can opt for automatic switching. Here, professional fund managers will make switches based on the parameters you set when you purchase the policy.

Top-up your ULIP Investment

Investment Top-Ups

Another interesting way to increase your ULIP corpus is a top-up investment. Whenever you have additional savings, you can put more money into your ULIP plan. Ideally, investors choose this when their ULIP is already performing well and they’d like to take advantage of the situation to maximise their returns.

What Is ULIP NAV?


When you invest in a ULIP, the invested amount is broken down into units. Each unit has a market value represented by its Net Asset Value or NAV. NAV is a representation of the per unit value of the assets minus the liabilities of an investment fund. This value provides an idea of the fund’s performance. The ULIP NAV is the desired price at which each unit of ULIP is bought and sold. Presently, NAV is computed as follows: NAV = (Market Value of investment held by the Fund+value of current assets - (value of current liabilities and provisions if any)) / Number of Units existing on the valuation date (before creation or redemption of Units)

The net asset value changes consequently based on the performance of the market-linked fund invested in. If the fund functions well, the NAV of the ULIP plan rises, while the reverse is also true.

What Are the Myths About Investing in ULIPs?

The few common myths about investing in ULIPs include:

1 ULIPs Are Costly

Reality: Because of high premiums and charges, many consider ULIPs a costly investment plan. However, the charges are not so high now. Earlier, the charges were as high as 6-10%. But now, charges are reduced to 3%, applicable for the first 10 years of holding. This charge is 2.25% for more than 10 years of holding. At present, low-cost ULIPs charge lower prices than similar investments, making them affordable options.

2 ULIPs Are Not for Investing Surplus Funds

Reality: With the ULIP top-up option, you can invest surplus funds when available. A policyholder can pay the top-up premium during any time of the policy tenure and receive the same tax benefits as regular premium payments.

3 ULIPs Cannot Be Discontinued

Reality: Before ULIPs complete the lock-in period of 5 years, you can discontinue the ULIPs and avail the surrender value after completion of lock-in period . Most importantly, you need not deposit any surrender charges for discontinuing before the end of the policy tenure if it’s after the lock-in period.

4 ULIPs Are Risky Financial Instruments

Reality: If you are a risk lover, you can continue investing in a conservative fund. However, you can also choose between a mix of equity and debt funds, also known as balanced funds. Additionally, you can switch between funds, considering your risk appetite.

5 ULIPs Do Not Provide Health and Accident Coverage

Reality: Since ULIPs provide dual benefits of insurance coverage with investment, just like other insurance plans, they also have rider options.

Thus, during any extreme condition, a policyholder can benefit from partial withdrawal and meet their desired cash requirements.

6 Life Coverage Reduces with Market Volatility

Reality: Many people believe that because ULIPs are linked with equities, the returns create a deep impact on life coverage. But, without affecting the life coverage, ULIPs either pay out the fund value or complete life coverage, whichever is more, upon the sudden demise of the policyholder.

How to Claim Tax Benefit on ULIPs?

A ULIP is a financial instrument that provides the dual benefit of comprehensive life coverage and wealth growth. Additionally, a policyholder can avail various ULIP tax benefits. A ULIP plan offers the following tax benefits:

  • Tax Benefits on ULIP Premiums

  • You can claim deductions of up to Rs. 1.5 Lakh every year on premiums applicable under Section 80C3 of the Income Tax Act of 1961, subject to the availability of terms and conditions

  • Tax Benefits on Maturity Amount

  • Maturity benefits existing under the ULIP policy are exempted under Section 10(10D)3 of the Income Tax Act, 1961.

  • Tax-Free Payout

  • The life coverage amount paid out to the nominee under certain unfortunate incidents is subject to tax exemption under Section 10(10D)3 of the Income Tax Act. This thereby ensures complete payout to families and financial support during times of need.

What is a ULIP Calculator?

A ULIP calculator is an online tool that helps investors estimate potential returns on Unit Linked Insurance Plans. Users input their investment amount, duration, expected return rate, and risk tolerance. The calculator then projects the investment's maturity value, considering market fluctuations and fund performance. By adjusting variables, users can visualize how different scenarios might affect their returns. ULIP calculators empower investors to make informed decisions about their financial future, providing a clearer picture of possible outcomes and make an informed decision on which ulip plans to select. These calculators serve as valuable resources for those navigating the complex world of ULIPs and seeking to optimize their investment strategies.

Why Should I Start Planning My Savings Now?

When it comes to saving and investment, the earlier you start the better. A smart savings plan allows you to put money away for a rainy day while building up a corpus to invest for the future. When you’re young, you have fewer financial liabilities and outgoings, which make it the best time to build up a significant amount. You can then invest your savings in instruments like ULIPs that allow you to grow your wealth for the future. To better understand the potential returns and benefits of ULIPs, you can use a ULIP Calculator to project your investments' growth over time. Your savings provide you with peace of mind since you build up an emergency fund and prepare yourself and your families for all future situations.

Things to Avoid When Investing in a ULIP Plans

When selecting a ULIP plan, you must avoid these six mistakes:

ULIPs and tax benefits

Only Thinking About Tax

ULIPs offer tax benefits3 under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act. Many young policyholders select a ULIP plan simply because of these benefits. However, ULIPs only offer these benefits if you stay invested for at least five years. Additionally, choosing a policy based on tax benefits3 might not help you meet your future financial goals.

Evaluate your financial obligations

Opting for Low Life Coverage

Investors opt for ULIPs since they also provide life insurance coverage. While choosing your ULIP insurance plan, carefully evaluate your current and future financial obligations. Select a sum assured amount based on your current income and debts. You want the sum assured payout to help your family replace your lost income or pay for expenses if anything happens to you during the policy tenure.

Diversify your Investment portfolio

Putting All Your Eggs in One Basket

Some policyholders invest only in equities or one type of fund, hoping for good growth in the long run. However, market-linked returns can be volatile, so it’s best to diversify your portfolio and select funds based on your market knowledge and future financial goals. Choosing a mix of debt and equity options is often prudent.

Avoid missing the premium payments

Missing Premium Payments

Missing a ULIP payment could lead to a penalty and the risk of losing your insurance coverage. If you let the plan become inactive, you might not be able to fulfil your future financial goals.

Provide truthful information

Hiding Crucial Information

Since ULIPs offer life insurance, you must provide details about your lifestyle and medical history in your application form. Not providing truthful answers could lead to your policy getting cancelled later and your nominee’s claim request getting rejected.

ULIP charges

Not Checking the Charges

ULIPs come with premium allocation, fund management, and mortality charges. Before you purchase a ULIP plan, ensure you check the fees of each plan and select one that helps you fulfil your goals without pinching your pocket.

At HDFC Life, we have several ULIP plans, so you can find one that best meets your financial needs. Let’s help you choose the best ULIP plan:

ULIP Plan Buying Guide

1 How Will A ULIP Plan From HDFC Life Help Me?

When you opt to purchase a ULIP plan from HDFC Life, you’re securing not just your financial future but your family’s future as well. Apart from providing life cover, these plans also allow you to choose how to invest your money. You can opt to invest in different funds that invests in equity or debt funds or a mix of both based on your risk appetite.

2 Who Should Buy a ULIP Plan?

A ULIP plan can be a great addition to a portfolio. However, whether or not one should buy a ULIP depends on the investor themselves and their requirements. One can opt for a ULIP plan if one has:

 

1. Difficulty managing multiple investments directed towards different goals

 

To build an effective savings plan, it is important to invest in the right instruments and mutual funds across multiple asset classes. This holds especially true while investing in stocks and mutual funds because if a stock crashes or a certain fund underperforms for a while, the capital invested should not be lost. The idea essentially is to not keep all the eggs in one basket. An investment portfolio with diverse instruments is protected against any unprecedented market action resulting in unfavourable price action.

 

Finding the right mutual fund is not an easy task. Investors, especially beginners, may overlook some aspects of a scheme, such as performance history and risk-adjusted returns.


Moreover, mutual funds do not come with lock-in periods which eliminates the need to commit regular payments. This often results in a premature exit from the investment to channel funds for immediate and less important requirements. It is not conducive for long-term goals which require a more disciplined approach.

 

Keeping track of all investments over the years, including keeping the life insurance cover and charges in perspective, can prove to be difficult. ULIPs provide the benefit of investing in a diverse mix of instruments while providing life cover.

 

A ULIP plan offers more features than a standard life insurance policy. Most people have a protection plan in place, such as an insurance term plan, to insure themselves and their families. However, the benefit received from life insurance may come at a time where the long-term goals of the family are much later in the future. In such a case, the onus to manage the sum rests on the family. ULIPs offer a 'waiver of premium' feature that helps the policyholder ensure that their family receives funds at the time of a major financial requirement such as at the time of college admissions, or weddings. ULIPs with annuity plans

 

2. Long-term goals to finance

 

ULIPs generally have a lock-in period of 5 years. After these 5 years, the various charges associated with the policy are amortized. This means that the charges are capped at a lower percentage. Charges associated with ULIPs with a maturity period of 10 years or less are capped at 3%. In case of ULIPs with a term of more than 10 years, total charges are capped at 2.25%. Out of this, the fund management charges are capped at only 1.35%. This encourages investments for a longer term.

 

Either way, ULIPs generate the most value in long-term, over 15 to 20 years. This is due to the power of compound interest at play, with the aim of capital appreciation over a long period of time. By holding a ULIP plan, investors can save regularly towards future financial goals such as children’s education, their wedding, purchase of a new home, or retirement income. There is also the option for partial withdrawal if there is an important and absolute requirement, making ULIP a safebox for the investor’s wealth.

 

Moreover, ULIPs may come with the option of top-up premiums. These additional investments have charges of only 1-2%, which is lower than the charges levied on regular premiums payments. This would mean that top-ups allow for holding more units for lesser investment, effectively decreasing the average cost of ownership of each unit. Investing more in the same ULIP plan minimizes the charges associated with a new policy. Top-up payments also increase the insurance cover, hence providing an added benefit for investing more.

3 Why You Might Like To Combine Insurance And Investment In A ULIP Plan?

After you have taken care of all your regular family expenses, you save the balance for the future needs of the family . In other words, your family is dependent on you for their present as well as future needs. So, if something were to happen to you, there is a high likelihood of your family's dreams being thrown into disarray. But, don't worry! Marrying your investment and insurnace with these investment plans could help you secure the present and future of your family.

 

Even the best investments will not help on premature demise

 

Every investment that you make today is targeted to cater to a future goal. Ideally, you expect that once your investments mature they would help you meet your future goals. But till the time the investments mature and help the family achieve its goals there is always an element of risk.

 

Should something happen to you midway, this investment could very well be liquidated and prematurely withdrawn to fulfil the family's current needs. Even the corpus left after the partial liquidation will not suffice to meet the family's goals, be it child's higher education or spouse's retirement.

 

Insurance provides perfect support when you need it most

 

The risk to financial security of your family is much higher during the first half of your work life. Be it goals, such as your child's higher education or wedding, or, your own retirement, your savings remain very low in the initial phase.

For instance, if you are targeting to save Rs 50 lakh for your child's higher education 20 years down the line, and your investment earns a post-tax annual return of 8%, then you would need to save Rs 8,793 per month to achieve your goal.

 

But you will be able to accumulate only Rs 6.45 lakh in the first 5 years and Rs 15.93 lakh in the first 10 years, surely the sum that will not help your child fulfill her need for higher education.

 

It is in situations such as these that the life insurance coverage comes to the rescue and ensures that your family is able to fulfil the desired goals even in the event of your untimely demise.

 

Life cover fills the gap between the haves and the desired

 

During the course of your work life, your income will help you accumulate various assets, such as household appliances, gadgets, land, residential property, gold and deposits.

 

Over a period, certain assets will generate enough income to take care of your family's regular expenses. But if you are no longer there, acquiring these assets could remain just a wish, unfulfilled. Here, a life insurance cover could provide that bridge when there aren't many income generating assets available. Also, big-ticket items like car and home are typically bought with the aid of loans.

 

In the event of your untimely demise, your family would be left with no choice but to sell them off to repay the outstanding loan. This is where unit linked insurance plans (Ulips) from life insurance companies works so well.

 

They not only protect your family in your absence by covering living expenses but also allow your family members to keep enjoying the car and home bought with loans. Besides providing life cover, ULIP Plans allow you to invest in equities which typically provide high growth during tenures of 10 years or more. The life cover ensures that other high growth investments such as those in equities besides the investment portion of Ulips still keeps growing. What's more, the cost of life insurance is quite low, especially for online plans.

 

Life insurance helps explore higher risk, higher growth investments

 

With an adequate life protection to take care of your family, you are better placed to take higher risk for higher reward investments such as equities. This will also help you go a long way in helping you save more in the long-term of 10 years or more.

 

Clearly, combining insurance with investment by investing in a combo product likes Ulip provides you with more benefits than what meets the eye at the first instance. The key is investing in the right Ulip.*

4 3 Ways In Which ULIP Lock-In Period Helps You Invest For Long-Term Goals

Short-term financial emergencies often damage your financial plans for meeting long-term needs. When faced with an emergency, we tend to reach out to investments that can be liquidated easily. That’s where the lock-in periods in investments, such as in unit linked insurance plans (ULIPs), help you stay on course.

 

1. Ensures goal Protection

 

Your long-term life goals, such as retirement, need big amounts. As big amounts cannot be saved in a short period, you need long-term regular savings to achieve different goals. That said, you could come across emergencies that will require you to spend significant amount of money. If you have unrestricted access to long-term investments, they could become an easy choice for liquidation, consequently, compromising your long-term goal.

 

For instance, a premature liquidation of long-term investments, say, your child’s higher education, to meet a medical emergency, will either compromise his education, or, he will have to take an education loan. If you take the EMI payment burden of the education loan, it will hamper your retirement savings.

 

If your child pays the education loan EMIs, he will save less or nothing for quite some time in his early work life. A lock-in period like the one in ULIPs, ensures that you stick to regular savings in the initial years, stay away from liquidation and successfully save the desired amount for the intended life goal.

 

2. Provides incentives to stay invested

 

When you start long-term investments with an ULIP plan, you would typically earmark it for an important goal such as your child’s higher education or wedding.

 

These goals are likely to be 10-20 years away. However, during the course of maintaining your regular expenses month-on-month, you might come across occasions when you would suddenly need a significant amount in a short time. It could be something like money to be raised for child’s school admission process.

 

These can’t be accommodated in your monthly budget or addressed through small savings at hand. If you are not allowed to withdraw money in investments like ULIP in the initial years due to a lock-in, you get to save a significant sum by the end of the mandatory 5 year lock-in period. Your temptation to liquidate a lower savings amount during emergencies will be greater compared to substantial amounts over a longer period. This, in effect, improves the chances of the money growing unhindered over the long term and providing the growth you seek. As for emergencies, you are forced to make provisions for them like an emergency fund which has liquid investments equivalent to 3-6 months of living expenses. In any case, during the emergency, you will need to look elsewhere for money and that’s where investment plans come into picture.

 

3. Helps ride out short-term turbulence

 

Equity is considered among the best-performing asset classes in the long-run i.e. 8-10 years or more. But, in the short term, the investments are subject to significant volatility. Individual investors, new to equity investments can get perturbed by the high short-term volatility and some even make premature exits from investments on significant market declines, losing out on long term growth opportunity. However, thanks to the minimum 5 year lock-in in ULIPs, which also help you tap the long-term growth potential of equities, you can’t make a hasty and premature exit. Over time, you get used to the turbulence which settles down to more stable returns in the long term investment plans as the investments cross the 8-10 year mark.

 

Investors typically prefer the best investment plan where they can access their money during emergencies. Many times, this facility does more harm than good since people end up nullifying their hard work done over time with ill-considered premature exits from long-term investments. Lock-in periods in investments such as ULIP plans ensure that your short term emergencies don’t hamper your progress towards cherished goals such as child’s higher education.

Term Related to Unit Linked Insurance Plans

The fund value lets you know how much your investment is worth at any given time. You can calculate the amount the multiplying the number of units owned by the Net Asset Value (NAV) or monetary value of each unit.

The sum assured refers to the life insurance payout. The beneficiary receives the sum assured on the policyholder's unfortunate demise during the policy term.

ULIPs allow partial withdrawals from the collected corpus in certain circumstances after the lock-in period. The policyholder can withdraw a small amount from the fund to deal with certain financial situations.

A fund switch allows you, the investor, to make changes to your investment allocation as part of your plan. The number of funds allowed per year depends on your policy.

A top-up is an additional amount you can pay, over and above the regular premium, to increase the investment in your ULIP.

Your policy document is a contract between you, the policyholder, and your insurance company. You agree to make premium payments, and the insurance company agrees to invest your money and provide life insurance coverage.

Some ULIPs only require one investment at the start, so they are single-premium contracts.

Most ULIPs require you to make monthly, quarterly, biannual or annual payments towards your plan, making them regular-premium contracts.

You can give up your ULIP plan before maturity in contract surrender.

The surrender value refers to the amount the insurance company owes you on contract surrender.

Maturity benefits refer to the funds payable to you by your insurance company on maturity.

On the policyholder's unfortunate demise, the beneficiary receives the sum assured, which is the death benefit.

The survival benefit refers to the periodic benefits the ULIP plan provides the policyholder while the plan is active.

Every insurance company levies certain costs on their ULIPs, such as administrative charges, mortality charges, fund allocation charges and more.

Ulip Plans - FAQ's

We’ll tell you everything you need to know about ULIPs.

1 What is the full form of ULIP?

ULIP stands for Unit-Linked Insurance Plans. It offers both insurance and investment avenues.

2 What are different types of funds that ULIP plans would invest in?

Depending on one's financial goals and risk appetite, investors can choose between equity, debt and/or other instruments to invest in. Funds under ULIP plan include a number of instruments. The ratio of debt to equity held is different for every fund. A ULIP has multiple such funds to choose from.

3 How much return is guaranteed in ULIPs?

The returns on ULIP plans can vary because the investor gets to choose the combination of equity, debt, hybrid funds in their investment. ULIPs with less risk exposure tend to offer lower returns compared to high-risk equity ULIPs.

4 How units are allotted under a ULIP plan?

Insurance providers collect policyholders’ capital and invest it in funds of their choice. After the amount is invested, the total is divided into 'units' of a specific value. These 'units' are allocated to the investor according to the amount invested by them.

5 How can I track my ULIP’s fund value?

Fund value simply is the net asset value or NAV of a fund on the given day, multiplied by the number of units held by the investor.

 

For example, if a fund's NAV is ₹ 50 and an investor holds 3000 units of the fund, the fund value for the investor will be ₹ 50 x 3000 = ₹ 1,50,000.

 

Comparing the initial and current NAV shows a fund’s progress and returns earned.

6 What are the main benefits of ULIP plan?

The main feature of ULIPs is that they are insurance plans that help build long-term wealth with their market-linked investment options. They offer a high return potential while also providing dual tax benefits, both on premium payments and on payouts/sum received after maturity.

 

As per Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax benefits are subject to changes in tax law.

7 Can we increase the premiums for a ULIP plan?

Investors that have been regular in their premium payments can opt for paying ‘top-up’ premiums, which are additional investments towards the plan. Investors can tap into the potential of a ULIP with good performance history and good returns with these extra premiums.

8 Can we purchase a ULIP with only a single payment?

Yes. Policyholders can opt for a single premium ULIP plan which requires a one-time payment at the time of purchase of the policy, instead of regular premiums. After the maturity period, the policyholder receives the sum assured. Top-up premiums for these ULIPs may not be available during the first 5 years.

9 Can I cancel/surrender my ULIP plan?

Yes, you can. The lock-in period for ULIPs is 5 years. If you plan to cancel/surrender the plan after 5 years, you will get the accumulated funds till the date of surrender. If you surrender before the lock-in period then discontinuance charges will be deducted and the balance amount will be paid to the policyholder after the completion of the 5 years lock-in period.

10 Can we partially withdraw from the ULIP amount?

Most ULIP plans have a lock-in period of 5 years after which the policyholder can choose to withdraw a part of their fund, if the need arises. This is done by ‘cancelling’ some of the units held. There is a limit to the amount that can be withdrawn and it may vary across plans.

11 Can we surrender a ULIP plan at any time?

The entire fund value is paid to the policyholder if a ULIP plan is surrendered after the 5-year lock-in period. However, the process of surrendering the policy before 5 years is different. The amount will be paid to the policyholder only after the end of 5 years. However, the insurance provider will deduct discontinuance charges from the fund value. The balance is transferred to a Discontinued Policy (DP) fund and a fund management charge of not more than 0.5% is applied. The DP fund will earn interest over time to provide the minimum return guaranteed by the provider.

12 What is the meaning of fund value?

The fund value refers to the total value of the units a policyholder owns. In ULIP, investors can choose from a variety of schemes as per their risk appetite and financial goals. Fund value on a particular day can be calculated by multiplying the Net Asset Value (NAV) of a unit on that day to the number of units owned by a policyholder. 

13 What is the expiry date of the lock-in period?

The time for which a policyholder cannot withdraw or liquidate the accumulated funds is called the lock-in period. In 2010, the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) extended the lock-in period to five years from three years. 

14 How Can I Reduce Risk on my ULIP Investment?

ULIP plans provide a variety of fund options for an investor to choose from. Ranging from aggressive to conservative ULIP plans, you can choose as per the market scenarios and your risk-taking ability. If you are risk-averse then you can choose conservative ULIP plans that invest in the debt market. 

15 Is interest on ULIP taxable?

Interest earned on ULIPs is exempt from taxes if the annual premium is up to INR 2,50,000 per year. For annual premiums over the amount, the interest will attract Long-Term Capital Gains (LTCG) tax of 10%.

 

As per Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax benefits are subject to changes in tax law.

16 Is ULIP a good plan?

ULIPs provide both insurance and investment, making them a good financial tool to have in your portfolio. They allow flexible investment and give you control over fund allocation, enabling you to decide how and where money gets invested.

17 What is the difference between ULIP plan, Mutual Funds and SIP?

A Unit-Linked Insurance Plan is a type of investment plan that also provides an insurance component.

 

Mutual funds are investments that pool together resources from several investors. They do not have an insurance component.

 

A SIP or Systematic Investment Plan refers to a method of investment in mutual funds.

18 What happens if I can’t continue ULIPs after five years?

If you discontinue your policy after five years, you will receive the policy's surrender value.
