Hi Dimers.

Just like me, many of you out there will be stuck in an Endowment Plan. I was duped by a family LIC agent (had no knowledge of IRR or investment at all). Please share your wisdom and suggest a way out. The premium is huge and if I surrender now, I will lose 5L. Is there any way I can migrate to a more profitable, less premium intensive plan, or any better way out?

I think most of us think we are duped by lic agents but bitter truth is that once when family is in need after the demise of bread earner, only lic settles claims in the most lenient way.

Personal experience, I surrendered my hdfc life policy after many times escalation with them.

I think Endowment is not a great plan for insuring life, very less cover, pure term will be a better choice. But I agree insurance is a Must.

5 lacs lost now vs keep paying premiums and gst and loose more later. I will explain in a simple way, loose a finger now or a hand later.

How are you losing 5 lakh? They will payback all premium amounts except gst.

Nope. If you surrender policy you get 20-40% less as compared to premiums paid. The exact percentage depends on the plan and years since policy is active and other factors.

The best way out is convert it into paid up policy and then invest the premium amount somewhere else.

Will it automatically convert into paid up policy or anything else is needed to be done?

I read online that stop paying premium. It automatically becomes a paid up one. But will go to an LIC branch very soon to confirm from them too
