Important Considerations:

• Value depends on market conditions, reflected in returns

• 5-year lock-in period

• Higher costs

Note: While ULIPs offer advantages, it's essential to be aware of the potential risks and costs involved.

Surrender Value: 

If you decide to terminate your ULIP policy before the lock-in period, you may receive a surrender value, which is the amount the insurer pays back to you. However, this value is usually lower than the total premiums paid, and you may face surrender charges.

And a final thought:

Before Investing: It's essential to carefully evaluate your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon before investing in a ULIP. Consider consulting a financial advisor to determine if a ULIP aligns with your overall financial strategy.
