    Hi Sunit
    If you opt for simple endowment policy with term of 5 years , then on maturity, you will get the Sum Assured opted during inception of the policy along with bonuses declared by SBI from time to time.

    hi, SBI'agents are promising to give Rs 305000 after 5 years (endowment period) with yearly premium of Rs 30000.
    Is it true??

  • Comment Link Administrator Tuesday, 15 November 2011 17:51 posted by Administrator

    Hi Rahul
    It is very unlikely that you will get the amount mentioned by SBI agents. Endowment plans have low returns because of the low risk involved with them.

    hi, SBI'agents are promising to give Rs 246000 after 5 years or monthly pension 3000/-& your principal value 246000 will be constant(endowment period) with yearly premium of Rs 26768.
    Is it true??

    Hi lallan prasad
    On maturity of Shubh Nivesh, a person gets Sum Assured along with bonuses. The Sum Assured is chosen at beginning of policy while the bonuses are not guaranteed. If anything happens to you during policy term of 5 years, Sum Assured is paid on demise of life insured.
    The annual premium amount for Sum Assured of Rs 246,000 for 30 year old person for policy term of 5 years is Rs 55,824.

  • Comment Link prem Wednesday, 14 December 2011 22:12 posted by prem

    Hi,
    I got a call this evening from a SBI Life and the summary of what I discuused with the agent over half an hour is as below

    1)Shubh Nivesh offers 12% guaranteed interest (10% compound interest on the invested money and 2% bonus on the sum assured)
    2)Entire amount is tax free.
    3)Minimum lock in period is 5years.They have plans for 5,10,15,20 and 25 years.You can with draw even from a 25year plan after 5 years and get 12% with out any penalty.

    I could not understand this.If one can come out from a 25 year plan after 5 years with out any loss and penalty why should they have plans for 5,10 and 15 years....does that make any sense?

    I wonder if 12% INTEREST be true!!12% tax free is as good as some of the MFs when there is no risk.
    Hope he was not talking about his commision assured :-)

    Can you give me your openion on this.

    Many Thanks
    Regards
    Prem

    I have taken SBI Shubh Nivesh Whole life plan , with quarterly payment 15,000/-rs for over 20 years period, now can you please tell in brief what I will have at the end of 20 years as a estimated value. As my SBI agent is so much confused, when i enquired about it.

  • Comment Link Ram Mehar Sodhi Saturday, 24 December 2011 12:23 posted by Ram Mehar Sodhi

    Welcome to all of you. take a simple example to understand SBI Life Subh Nivesh Plan with whole life option If you at age 18. You opt for 500000 basic Sum Insured, 500000 Term rider and 500000 Accidental rider. In event of unfortunate death you will receive Rs. 15 Lacs + simple reversionary bonus. If you survive you will get after 15 years - Rs. 500000 guaranteed + Rs. 600000 Bonus@8%(this is an example)+ Rs. 500000 on unfortunate death at any age stage aftre 15 years. This is very wonderful USP of SBI Life. The premium only 37450 exclusive service tax. R M S Sodhi

    hi,
    i have been told by an agent that if i pay a monthly premium of 2100/ for 20 years in shubh nivesh i will get Rs 1500000 at the end of 20 years . is it true

  • Comment Link Administrator Tuesday, 07 February 2012 18:16 posted by Administrator

    Hi Sirisha
    SBI Shubh Nivesh is a traditional plan and as such returns are low. Assuming 10% annual return, a person aged 30 cannot get Rs 15 lacs with investment of Rs 2100 per month for 20 years.
    You can check the benefit illustration directly from SBI website which will tell you the guaranteed and non guaranteed returns.

    In your case, it seems agent is mistaken.

    SBI SHUBH NIVESH AGENTS ARE CONVINCING TO GIVE ME 215000 AFTER 5 YEARS ON PAYMENT OF 25000 FOR FIVE YEARS ANNUALLY.IS IT AUTHENTIC

  • Comment Link Administrator Tuesday, 21 February 2012 18:39 posted by Administrator

    Hi Atul
    It seems unlikely that you will get Rs 215000 after 5 years with premium payment of Rs 25000.
    You can verify the same from SBI Life website calculator. The link is given below:

    Shall a whole life optional plan withdrawl after 5 years what benefit i will get i am paying 20000 yearly

  • Comment Link Anshuman Sunday, 18 March 2012 00:39 posted by Anshuman

    Even I was convinced by the agents that Shubh Nivesh will yield 10% guaranteed return and hence I was lured into investing into it. I received the document today and the claim looks farce to me. However the only good thing is that I can return the policy within 15 days and I am going to do that, hoping it will be hassle free.

    Hi An agent has called me , she said on investment of 30000 per year for 5 years, I will get 265000 after 5 years plus bonus. I asked her to send me mail , he deined same and ask me to check this our web site.
    Dont you think these are creating bad name of SBI in market ??

  • Comment Link Administrator Tuesday, 10 April 2012 11:12 posted by Administrator

    Hi Manvendra
    There will always be a few agents who mislead people in order to sell policy and get commission. You took the right decision by asking for written proof. If he's an SBI agent, you can take pro active approach and send an email regarding the same to SBI Life insurance.

  • Comment Link Manoj Wednesday, 09 May 2012 12:55 posted by Manoj

    My age is 39 years. I bought this bogus policy last year. I was told bonus will be good. What I have learnt last two bonuses have been 2.85% and 2.60% or so.
    My monthly subscription amount is Rs.5000. After five years I would have invested Rs.3 lakh. Now I am told what I will get after five years sum assured of Rs.2,17,000 plus bonues. Bonuses at the given rates come to Rs.30000/- for the five years. I would have paid Rs.3,00,000/- and on maturity I will not even get my money back. I will get only 2,17,000/-. Whole time insurance is also quite low of as much as 2,17,000. After being one year invested, I feel it is time to quit this bogus scheme.
