    UTI Dividend yield is a good investment and LIC Market plus will give you insurance as well. So both of them are good choices.

    If you want insurance then go for the LIC scheme and if you dont need insurance, go for the UTI scheme.

    Both of them invest in the stock market so, dont expect any guaranteed returns. If the market performs nicely, you will get good returns.

      Hi Anonymous,

      Yes, this blog is very much active.

      Yes, you can get tax exemption if they are dependents - you need to prove that both your parents are retired and do not have any source of income. Even if either one has any sort of income like retirement pension, house rent etc, you cannot claim exemption.

      Hi Anonymous,
      I am sorry - such details reg. what an Admin officer does in an Insurance company are privileged info which only people who work in the insurance company will know. Bloggers like me wouldnt know all those things.

      I tried a google search and it took me to this site: http://uiic.co.in/recruitment/details/3144

      You can download the pdf reg. the job and see if it helps you

      You need to contact the agent/advisor who sold you that policy. In most cases of discontinued insurance policies, you will not get much money unless you make at least 3-5 years worth of premium payments.

      Check out the policy document - The termination clause will explain how much you will get.
