Postal Life Insurance was founded on 1st February 1884. It offers various welfare schemes that provide benefits to postal employees. This is also a government-owned organization. Both provide life insurance policies, and many of you might get confused in choosing the best insurance policy for you and your family. So, the primary question that comes to mind of every customer is how to go about it? How do choose the best plan? Which will be the best option? To make your selection easy, here is a comparative analysis of two life insurance plans offered by LIC and Post Office i.e., LIC Jeevan Shanti and Post Office MIS respectively. Let’s understand each plan in detail:
LIC Jeevan Shanti vs Post Office MIS
LIC of India launched its pension cum investment plan LIC Jeevan Shanti on its 62nd birthday. It is a non-linked and non-participating deferred annuity plan that embraces a tension-free tomorrow. This plan provides an option to select between joint and single life deferred annuity plans. Whereas Post Office Monthly Income Scheme (POMIS) is an investment plan that offers guaranteed returns of 6.6% per year to the investor. This plan has three major benefits as it keeps your capital intact, provides higher returns than the debt instruments, and also offers a fixed monthly income. A policyholder can open a POMIS with a minimum amount of Rs. 1,000. The POMIS provides you an option to open a joint account in which all the joint holders shall have an equal share in the investment. In this, no TDS deduction is applicable but the interests so earned are taxable. POMIS also offers an option to appoint a nominee in case of the unfortunate death of the policyholder.Â
