Pure protection plans only; reject any insurance product that mixes investment.

Key takeaways

Buy a clean term insurance policy with regular premiums and invest the rest in mutual funds - never mix insurance and investment.
Saral Jeevan Bima is the only term cover available to Indians without income or education proof - share it with farmers, drivers and homemakers who otherwise get rejected.
LIC Jeevan Utsav's '10% guaranteed return' is a misleading sales pitch — the actual IRR is much lower than alternatives.
Use IRDAI claim settlement data and incurred claim ratios to filter health insurers; portability lets you upgrade to a better policy at similar premium.
Insurance advice should be conflict-free and salary-based, not commission-driven, and avoid 80-100 year term policies that waste money.
Choose term insurance using multi-year claim settlement plus amount-paid ratios — Max Life, Bandhan Life and HDFC Life consistently top the filters.
