  1. I bought a Jeevan Saral policy on 10/3/2010 for monthly premium of 5104. My age was 26 at that time. Sum assured being 12,50,000.
    I have just completed the 3 years of plan and wanted to close it down. Instead I have bought a term plan + invest rest in MF/PPF.

    When my father went to close it down, the LIC officer told him that its a very good plan and you would get returns of atleast 45 L on maturity. However I am still not sure how is that possible.

    Can you help me understand that. Is he being yoo optimistic of the LIC company performance or is it assuming an average performance.

    Also is it good idea to close it or not.
