NSC Certificates

Investing in NSC is a better option.

Dear,

I Fully Agree with Devendra, but LIC is also the better option which covers our Insurance too. & both are Givt. under takings so both are good option.

Consider a 3rd Option of Public Provident Fund 

1) deposits are qualified under 80C upto 70000

2) Interest is tax free ( at present 8%) 

3) no binding for fixed subscripttion , one can deposit miniumum 500 to 70000 at any time or interval during the year .

Dear,

 you invest in LIC so that you cover both of option as you above mentioned and also insurance on your life

PPF IS BLOCKED FOR LONGER PERIOD  MUTUAL FUND SPECIFIED UNDER SEC 80C IS ALSO GOOD ONE.(AS NOW A DAYS EVEN INSURANCE SECTOR INVESTS OUR MONEY IN MUTUAL FUND.) AND BLOCKED FOR THREE YEAR.

Priyaji,

Lock in period for ULIPs have been increased from three to five years. This has largely been done because IRDA wants to ensure that ULIPs are treated as a long term insurance product and not as any short term product. All ULIPs, except pension, are annuity products and have to have either a mortality cover or a health cover. W.e.f. 28.06.2010
