Life Insurance. Life insurance is a contract between the insurer and the policy owner (policyholder) for a specified period of time (known as policy’s term) whereby a benefit is paid to the designated Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) upon the occurrence of the insured person’s death. If the insured person is still alive at the end of the term, the policy lapses and has no residual value.
Many times Term Life Insurance is better and convenient than Whole Life Insurance. For less money you can get the desired cover for a fixed term of 10, 20 or more years.

ELSS. Equity Linked Saving Schemes. The investments in ELSS fall under section 80C. The fund manager will invest in shares of various companies across various industries. ELSS funds have a lock-in period of three years and there is an entry load (about 2%). Dividends on ELSS are tax free. An ELSS has greater exposure to equity, hence has a potential for higher returns, however, with higher risk. The profit from selling the units of these funds is long term capital gains and is tax free. Some players are: HDFC Long Term Advantage, HDFC Tax Saver (Growth option), Prudential ICICI Tax Plan (Growth option) and Magnum Taxgain.We will provide a detail article on ELSS soon.
