Understanding ULIPs

Lock-in period: ULIPs have a 5-year lock-in (cannot withdraw before 5 years).
Tax benefits: Premiums up to ₹1.5L deductible under Sec 80C, maturity proceeds tax-free under Sec 10(10D) subject to conditions.
Charges: Allocation, fund management, mortality, policy admin – these impact returns significantly.
Switching funds: Most ULIPs allow free switches between equity/debt funds.
⚠️ Disclaimer: Past performance does not guarantee future returns. The calculator provides estimates; actual returns may vary based on market conditions and actual charges.
