Meri policy jeewan asha -2hai.ishe mene28-09-2003 me liya tha. Haff yearly premium 11992rs hai. Policy plan 131-25 hai. Mujhe 25 year tak premium dena hai. Mujhe policy mature hone par kitna amount milega.

Ans: Policy Details Overview
Policy Name: Jeevan Asha - 2
Start Date: 28-09-2003
Half-Yearly Premium: Rs 11,992
Policy Term: 25 years
Plan Number: 131-25
You are paying Rs 11,992 as a half-yearly premium, which amounts to Rs 23,984 annually. This policy has a term of 25 years.

Total Premium Paid
Total Premiums Paid Over 25 Years:
Annual Premium: Rs 23,984
Total Years: 25
Total Premium Paid: Rs 23,984 * 25 = Rs 5,99,600
Maturity Amount Estimation
The maturity amount for a Jeevan Asha - 2 policy can depend on various factors, including the sum assured, bonuses, and final additional bonuses (FAB). Since the specific sum assured and bonuses are not provided, we will give a general idea.

Sum Assured:

The sum assured is the guaranteed amount paid on maturity. Check your policy document for the exact sum assured amount.
Bonuses:

LIC policies often include reversionary bonuses declared annually. The bonus rate varies yearly. Historically, it has been around Rs 40 to Rs 50 per Rs 1,000 of the sum assured.
Final Additional Bonus (FAB):

An additional bonus may be declared at the end of the policy term. This depends on LIC's performance and policy duration.
Example Calculation
For an illustrative example, let's assume:

Sum Assured: Rs 3,00,000 (You need to check your policy for the exact sum assured)
Annual Bonus: Rs 45 per Rs 1,000 sum assured
FAB: Rs 25 per Rs 1,000 sum assured (if applicable)
Annual Bonus Calculation:

Sum Assured: Rs 3,00,000
Annual Bonus: Rs 45 per Rs 1,000 = Rs 13,500 per year
Total Bonuses Over 25 Years: Rs 13,500 * 25 = Rs 3,37,500
Final Additional Bonus (FAB):

Sum Assured: Rs 3,00,000
FAB: Rs 25 per Rs 1,000 = Rs 7,500
Total Maturity Amount:

Sum Assured: Rs 3,00,000

Total Bonuses: Rs 3,37,500

FAB: Rs 7,500

Total Maturity Amount: Rs 3,00,000 + Rs 3,37,500 + Rs 7,500 = Rs 6,45,000

Final Insights
The exact maturity amount can vary based on the sum assured and actual bonuses declared by LIC. It is advisable to consult your policy document or contact LIC for precise details.

By estimating the bonuses and sum assured, you can get an idea of the maturity amount.

I am single and retired with no family or loan commitments. with my enough funds in dividend funds for my routine monthly expenses, I have taken a Health Insurance for Rs.10 lacs with Royal Sundaram and life insurance term plan for Rs.50 lacs and Traditional insurance plan from LIC for Rs. 25 lacs on various named policies out of which except yearly premium of Rs.50,000 all policy payment terms were over. (policies like Jeevan Tarang, Jeevan Amrut etc) To cover this Rs.50000 insurance premium, I am getting survival benefit from Jeevan Tarang policy every year; only the date will differ which I could manage with my credit card payment. Can you please advise me whether the health insurance cover is okay and Life cover is okay; or should I take extra cover. Though I do not require to leave a legacy, I may also surrender the policy, in case of need. please advise
Ans: Financial Overview
Current Status

You are single and retired.

No family or loan commitments.

Insurance Policies

Health insurance: Rs. 10 lakhs with Royal Sundaram.

Life insurance term plan: Rs. 50 lakhs.

Traditional insurance plans from LIC: Rs. 25 lakhs.

Annual insurance premium: Rs. 50,000.

Appreciating Your Efforts
You have a well-structured plan.

Health and life insurance cover your needs.

Insurance Review
Health Insurance

Your health insurance cover is Rs. 10 lakhs.

Consider increasing it to Rs. 20 lakhs.

This ensures better protection against rising medical costs.

Life Insurance

Your life cover is Rs. 50 lakhs.

Since you have no family commitments, this is sufficient.

Traditional Insurance Plans
Jeevan Tarang and Jeevan Amrut

These plans provide survival benefits.

Use these benefits to pay your annual premium.

Surrender Option

Consider surrendering these policies if needed.

The surrender value can be reinvested in mutual funds.

Investment Strategy

Actively managed funds can offer higher returns.

Consider SIPs in large-cap and balanced funds.

PPF and NPS

Continue with PPF and NPS investments.

Index funds mimic the market.

They often yield lower returns compared to actively managed funds.

Lack of Flexibility

Index funds have less flexibility.

Actively managed funds adapt to market conditions.

Disadvantages of Direct Funds
Lack of Guidance

Direct funds lack professional advice.

Regular funds provide support through MFDs with CFP credentials.

Higher Risk

Direct funds can be riskier.

Professional guidance helps mitigate risks.

Emergency Fund
Maintain Liquidity

Keep an emergency fund.

Ensure it's equivalent to 6-12 months of expenses.

Liquid Mutual Funds

Hello, I am 3 yr neet dropper.in 2025 it will be my third attempt... I'm trying my best to crack neet ...i don't know what will happen will i score good marks or not ... please help me in suggesting good career options if not crack neet .....there are many options through neet marks also like bhms , veterinary...etc. i will also give entrance exam also like cuet ,gbpuat ,....but i want that what to choose which course will be best for me ...i want to make my life good and happy... having a good degree, good job ,...
Ans: Hello.
Have you analyzed your failure in 2 successive attempts in the NEET examination? If yes, then the question is what you have done for improvement and not then again the question arises why not? Here, I would like to suggest you focus now only on the NEET examination which is your 3rd attempt. Don't think about any other options right now till May 2025. After the NEET exam is over, you have ample time to explore the options available. Depending on your score in NEET 2025, we will guide you at that time. But yet, if you are confused, then looking towards your question and anxiety, you need personal counseling where you can express yourself face-to-face. Only after the NEET exam is over, you contact a counsellor for one-to-one counseling. Till then, keep mum and focus only on NEET. Take this exam as your mission and project. Work on this project, apply forces from all sides, success is there which is waiting for you eagerly.
Best of luck for your bright future.

Some tips: (1) Analyse separately Phy, Che, Bio (2) Prepare a list of hard topics (3) First focus more on the topics which are easy for you and then try to excel in hard topics (4) Appear more and more online/offline examinations (4) Prepare your short-cut file for all subjects (5) Prepare a file for each subject having only synopsis of all chapters (6) Try to solve the problems at the lightening speed and observe the period on regular basis (7) Create your time table to revise the topics on regular basis (8) Do not hesitate to ask your difficulties to your teachers, if you have joined to offline classes (9) Keep the habit of marking the answers which you know 100%. Don't guess the answers and mark them, as there is -ve marking scheme. (10) Be calm, quite, and smiling all the time to release the tension and always have a healthy chat with your friends.

If satisfied, please like and follow me.
If dissatisfied with the reply, please ask again without hesitation.
Thanks.
