Hello Sreekanth, It’s been a long time I have been following your blog. A “Thank you” is a very small token for the great service you are doing here.. nevertheless I offer my gratitude towards all your efforts in the process! I have a situation where I need your expertise. I have taken LIC policy (Jeevan Anand, Plan no 149) for my wife in Aug-2011 & paid 5 premiums (Yearly Rs. 20250) till now. She used to work in IT at that time & since from last 3 years she is house-wife. I want to get rid of this Policy now & in the process I have few queries, 1. Should I surrender the policy of Paid up? Recommendations please. 2. If surrender is the way to go, how much amount I am entitled to receive(including Bonus)? 3. Should I continue Policy to get benefit of higher Bonus amount increasing over the period of time? 4. Anyway, I am willing to reinvest the same amount in some other instrument if I happen to surrender it, so is it ok to go ahead for policy surrender? Let me know if you need any other info. Anticipating Thanks for your kind reply. Thanks & Regards, Girish B.

Dear Girish, Thank you for following my Blog posts & for your kind words :) May I know the tenure of this policy?  As your spouse is not an earning member (as of now), life cover is not necessary. Do both of you have adequate health insurance cover? Kindly read: http://www.relakhs.com/traditional-life-insurance-plan/ http://www.relakhs.com/how-to-get-rid-off-bad-life-insurance/

Dear Girish, Suggest you to kindly SURRENDER this policy. From my side, no second thoughts on this :) For exact surrender value, you may kindly check with the insurer/agent. Read: http://www.relakhs.com/top-up-health-insurance-plans-super-top-up-india/
