Why This Decision Matters

Traditional endowment plans yield low 4-5% returns while imposing massive exit penalties in early years. Mixing life cover with investment usually hurts both goals.

Common Pitfalls & Mistakes

Lapsing policy without securing a replacement term cover first
Buying policies solely for tax saving under 80C
