What is customised ULIP?

ULIP is a combination of Insurance and Market-Linked Investments. There are GOOD ULIPs and BAD ULIPs. There are four types of main charges associated with ULIPs - a. Premium Allocation Charges; b. Policy Administration Charges; c. Fund Management Charges; d. Mortality Charges for providing Life Insurance Cover. A bad ULIP will have all these charges embedded. The high amounts eat away the returns that the ULIP generates. However, a GOOD ULIP carries:

  • ZERO Premium Allocation Charges
  • ZERO Policy Administration Charges.

Why are you recommending a good ULIP when we have a choice of Mutual fund investments?

The Asset Allocation has two components - Strategic Asset Allocation and Tactical Asset Allocation.

  1. The strategic asset allocation comprises of Mutual Fund schemes while the tactical asset allocation uses ULIP. The Strategic Asset Allocation is the core asset allocation of the portfolio.
  2. The Tactical Asset Allocation tries to take advanage of the market movement by investing when the market is down and booking profit when it is relatively expensive. Using tactical asset allocation strategy using Mutual Fund invites short-term capital gains and / or exit load as well.

We use ULIP to save these capital gain taxes and also the exit loads. Further the return is tax-free after maturity. However, sensing the advantage of such startegy the government has capped it to an investment of less than 250,000 premium per annum. There is one negative point though, ULIP comes with a minimum annual committment of 5 years. It makes a good case for funding long-term goals.

The two pillars in your financial foundation that are required are Investment & Insurance. Both these pillars are present under ULIP. The goal behind this financial tool is that you can get the benefit of wealth creation along with life cover.

  • Section 80C Tax Benefit
  • Adjustable Investment amount
  • Allow Top-ups
  • Partial withdrawals
  • Redirection of Premiums
  • More than just a Life cover

In ULIPs, there are bad ULIPs and good ULIPs. ULIPs are charged in four categories -

  • Premium Allocation Charges
  • Policy Administration Charges
  • Fund Management Charges
  • Mortality Charges for providing Life Insurance Cover All these charges are embedded in a bad ULIP. ULIP returns are eroded by high charges. A good ULIP has ZERO Premium Allocation Charges and ZERO Policy Administration Charges.

ULIPs cannot be redeemed within the initial five years, so you must stay invested during that time.

Your ULIP policy allows you to withdraw funds only after the completion of 5 years of investment, after which you can withdraw up to 20% of the fund value. This withdrawal is tax-free.

In the past, you were not taxed on your ULIP returns if the amount invested exceeded 10% of the life insurance policy's coverage. If you pay more than Rs 2.5 lakh for ULIPS, then the returns you receive will be taxed. Your ULIP's composition will determine the tax rate.
