Guaranteed plan

The majority of people seek long-term investment options in order to escape short-term market volatility. The investor also keeps in mind non-negotiable life goals, such as retirement planning, children's education, marriage, and home ownership. In addition, interest rate reductions in fixed deposits over the past few years have certainly changed financial planning. A guaranteed return plan combines a fixed interest rate with a higher return for investors. Investments in these plans offer a return rate between 6% and 6.5%, which is higher than the options we discussed earlier. You don't have to pay taxes on the interest you earn, which further increases your gains. You don't have to worry about market fluctuations for the foreseeable future since your funds are safe against market risks for about 40-45 years. Financial institutions offer Guaranteed Returns Plans, which are non-participating monthly income schemes. Policyholders pay a yearly premium for these plans. The insurer will determine the tenure based on the insured's age and financial situation. A policyholder will receive guaranteed payouts when the policy reaches maturity, similar to the amount of income they earn each month. Policyholders will receive the payout amount according to the insurance coverage they select, the premiums they pay, and the sum assured. These plans are quite beneficial for individuals looking for guaranteed returns during their golden years because the policy term includes both the premium payment period and the payout period.

1. Returns are guaranteed - These plans are among the best money-saving plans since the premiums paid to accumulate and assure good returns. Guaranteed returns are part of the plan's maturity benefit. Furthermore, insurers offer a variety of payout options to meet your specific needs. Investing in this plan can help you fulfill your child's dream of attending university in five years by receiving a lump sum benefit.

2. Benefits to the nominee in the event of death - In the event of death within the policy's term, the life insurance component will ensure a payout to the nominee. The lump sum payment will undoubtedly assist your bereaved family in coping with your loss of you. An investment in such a plan is essential if you are the family's primary earner.
3. Investment with low risk - Investing in risk-free fixed-income securities is perfect for risk-averse investors. Because the earnings of this plan are guaranteed, it is particularly safe to invest in for long-term benefits. In terms of traditional savings plans, it is a great choice for cautious investors.
4. Amounts accrued - Long-term customers can earn accrual additions with certain plans. The investment term of a guaranteed return policy determines the bonus and loyalty additions. You can anticipate earning more in bonuses if you invest for a longer period of time. Investing early will allow you to give your investment as much time as possible to grow, as you will need to stay invested for a long period of time.
5. Planning for retirement - Investing in endowment plans with guaranteed returns serves as a means of saving and investing for retirement. Using them as regular monthly income plans will help you save for retirement. Regular income plans can be set up for a specific number of years or for your entire lifetime. Eg: When Shruti turns 30, she invests in a guaranteed return plan with the intention of investing until she retires at age 60. Shruti can accumulate a sizable corpus with an assured return by investing over a 30-year period. When she retires, she can be assured of a comfortable and worry-free retirement thanks to the payout (lump sum or periodic) from this policy.
6. Riders additional to the list - Your policy can be enhanced by adding riders (add-on benefits). In the event of a disability or critical illness, the Waiver of Premium rider allows your policy benefits to continue until the end of the policy term by waiving off the remaining premiums. A Critical Illness Rider, Income Benefit Rider, Accidental Death Benefit Rider, Accidental Total and Permanent Disability Rider, and Payor Waiver Benefit Rider can also be added.
7. Facility for loans - When you invest in guaranteed return insurance products, you will also be able to obtain liquidity in the form of loans. After your plan has a surrender value, you can request a loan equal to up to 90% of the collected corpus (subject to your insurer's terms and conditions).
8. Benefits of taxation - When you save for the future, you can receive tax benefits. It is possible to deduct the premiums you pay towards the plan up to INR 1.5 lakhs under section 80C. Additionally, if you include suitable riders (for critical illness) with your coverage, you can claim Section 80D deductions up to INR 50,000. As a result of Section 10D, the entire maturity and death benefit amount is tax-free.

Features of guaranteed return plans	Explanation
Payouts are tax-free every month	Once the policyholder has completed the premium payments, they will receive monthly income payouts for a specified period of time. According to the Income Tax Act, of 1961, the plan's income is tax-exempt. Additionally, policyholders will benefit from these tax exemptions.
A guaranteed income twice as high	The payout period of a guaranteed income plan is usually divided into two parts. Initially, the policyholder receives a monthly assured income. Upon completion of the first half of tenure, the monthly income is doubled.
Protection assured	As part of the guaranteed protection, the monthly income plan also provides death benefits to the policyholder. If the policyholder passes away during the tenure of the guaranteed income plan, the beneficiary gets to choose how the payout will be made. Following the death of the policyholder, beneficiaries can choose whether to receive lump-sum payouts or an income for ten years.
Payouts are immediate	As soon as the premium payments are complete, the policyholder will begin receiving payouts. The policyholder will start receiving the sum assured through monthly payouts once the plan's tenure is complete.
Options for flexible payouts	These plans can be quite helpful for individuals who need a large fund in an emergency. After the monthly income plan matures, the policyholder can receive the payout as a lump sum. If not, they may choose to receive it as a monthly income.

Types of Guaranteed Return Plan

Types of guaranteed return plans	Explanation
ULIPs (Unit Linked Insurance Plans)	Life insurance plans that provide life coverage and a long-term avenue for wealth creation through market-linked returns are known as unit-linked insurance plans or ULIPs. A portion of the premium paid for a ULIP goes towards insurance, while the other portion is used to invest in funds. A ULIP's return on investment depends on the performance of its funds.
System of National Pensions (NPS)	One of the best investment options for guaranteed returns is this. To assist people in having a secure retirement, the NPS was launched by the government. Tier-I accounts require minimum contributions of Rs. 500-Rs. 1000, while Tier-II accounts require minimum contributions of Rs. 250.
PPF (Public Provident Fund)	It is a popular investment option that offers guaranteed returns and fund protection. PPF returns are tax-free. During a fiscal year, you can invest a minimum of Rs. 500 and a maximum of Rs. 1,50,000. PPF accounts currently offer an interest rate of 8%.
Certificates of National Savings (NSCs)	A National Savings Certificate is another tax-saving instrument with guaranteed returns. Each financial year, the returns on new issues are revised. NSC investments qualify for 80C deductions, but the interest accumulated in the account becomes taxable after maturity. Tax rates are determined by your income tax slab. As a result, the returns are not as guaranteed as they claim. Once you have invested, your rate of interest is fixed, so you can grow your money safely.
POMIS (Post Office Monthly Income Scheme)	You can achieve medium-term goals with Post Office Monthly Income Scheme, a top investment option with guaranteed returns. The interest you earn on your investment can reach 6.60% a year. This investment option is locked in for a 5-year period.
Savings Plan for Senior Citizens (SCSS)	Retirement plans that are backed by the government can be opened at banks or post offices across the country. This investment option guarantees returns and pays interest quarterly to account holders.
Savings plan linked to equity (ELSS)	The fund has a three-year lock-in period and is tax-free. ELSS funds can be sold or redeemed depending on the returns you receive. It is imperative that you invest your wealth in order to boost it so that you can achieve your financial goals. It is important not to put all your eggs in one basket, as the saying goes. It is better to consider different investment options and plan your finances accordingly if you are looking for the best investment options.
Deposits that are fixed or recurring	Investments in fixed deposits have been guaranteed in India for more than a century. Recurring and fixed deposits come in a variety of maturities. The only difference between a bank fixed deposit and a post office deposit is the TDS deduction. Postal FDs do not have to deduct 10% TDS from their interest every year as bank FDs do.
