the policy, was inaccurate or false, unless the insurer shows that such statement was
on a material matter or suppressed facts which it was material to disclose and that it
was fraudulently made by the policyholder and that the policyholder knew at the
time of making it that the statement was false or that it suppressed facts which it
was material to disclose.
Provided that nothing in this section shall prevent the insurer from calling for proof

rebate, except such rebate as may be allowed in accordance with the published
prospectuses or tables of the insurer: provided that acceptance by an insurance
agent of commission in connection with a policy of life insurance taken out by

Whether to buy LICs term plans or not?
Major drawback why lot of people stayed away from LIC term plans are their pricing. They
are costly when you compare with online or offline term plans available with other insurers in
India. But few still tried to buy term plans with LIC because of their faith in it and to
diversify their risk among insurers. Currently I dont have valid table to compare. But when I
considered the available resources I found that these new plans are cheaper than the older
(this is my assumption and will update on it shortly).
For example for the aged 30 years and SA Rs.1,00,00,000 and term 25 years was previously
cost us Rs.29,200 yearly. But now it is costing us Rs.22,028 (claiming to be inclusive of tax).

What is Pension Plan?

All of us are worried about our income when we retire. Pension Plans, also called Retirement
Plans are one of the safest and surest ways of a trouble-free retirement life. Invest small
amounts today while you are earning and receive fixed annual payouts during your retirement
years. You build your kitty by investing small amounts regularly in your earning days and
then use that kitty to buy an Annuity on retirement. The annuity will ensure the regular
payouts during your golden years of retirement.
It is best to start planning for your retirement as early as possible because these small
amounts contributed today will become a large sum of money over the years.
Pension Plans are flexible and can be used effectively if planned out well. On attaining the
retirement age, the policy holder can withdraw 33% of the maturity amount for some
immediate financial needs. The balance amount is used to purchase an annuity which gives a
regular monthly/annual income

Section 45 Of Insurance Act 1938:
o No policy of life insurance shall after the expiry of two years from

insurer on the ground that a statement made in the proposal for
insurance or in any report of a medical officer, or referee, or friend
of the insured, or in any other document leading to the issue of the
policy, was inaccurate or false, unless the insurer shows that such
statement was on a material matter or suppressed facts which it was
material to disclose and that it was fraudulently made by the
policyholder and that the policyholder knew at the time of making
it that the statement was false or that it suppressed facts which it
was material to disclose.

o Provided that nothing in this section shall prevent the insurer from

terms of the policy are adjusted on subsequent proof that the age of
the life assured was incorrectly stated in the proposal.

or any rebate of the premium shown on the policy, nor shall any
person taking out or renewing or continuing a policy accept any
rebate, except such rebate as may be allowed in accordance with
the published prospectuses or tables of the insurer: provided that
acceptance by an insurance agent of commission in connection with
a policy of life insurance taken out by himself on his own life shall
not be deemed to be acceptance of a rebate of premium within the
meaning of this sub-section if at the time of such acceptance the

insurance agent satisfies the prescribed conditions establishing that

he is a bona fide insurance agent employed by the insurer.

o Provided that nothing in this section shall prevent the insurer from
calling for proof of age at any time if he is entitled to do so, and no

What is Child Insurance Plans?

Child Insurance Plans are the best way for investing in your child's future. From a very early
age of the child, the parent can invest fixed amounts every year which can be timed to mature
when the child attains a certain age, say 18 years. Major events in the child's life, like
marriage or higher studies can be planned and financed by Child Insurance Policies if the
parent takes adequate plans at the right time. Plans can be purchased as soon as the Child is
born.
In certain Child Plans there are built-in flexibilities which keep the policy active and waive
off the premium even after the death of the parents. These options are extremely useful as no
other financial instrument offers such flexible options. Most plans come with built-in riders
or add-on covers such as Waiver of Premium benefit.

Types of Child Insurance Plans?

Child Insurance Plans come in 2 variants:

Traditional Plans
Traditional plans in which the amount of payout is guaranteed. Here the investments are
usually made in safe and low yielding products. The returns will not be great but they will be
stable and predictable.
ULIPs
ULIPs - here the investments are more into equity markets and the chances of returns over a
longer period of time are much higher. The policyholder can even choose to invest in debt
instruments, in which case it becomes similar to the traditional plans investments. The
flexibility is completely in the hands of the investor and one can switch between the types of
funds also.
