Depending on the fund's selection and market performance, the ULIP plan may help generate potential returns and help meet future financial goals like retirement planning or funding a child's education in India.

The premiums paid towards this policy may qualify for tax deductions. These benefits are available under section 80C of the Income Tax Act. The final payouts received by the family are also exempt from tax, subject to the applicable conditions. NRI customers can consult a tax advisor on the latest benefit rules and implications for their specific country of residence.
