With the launch of Smart ULIP, now SBI Life Insurance too has joined the bandwagon of ULIP market. Similar players in the market include LIC jeevan Varsha, ICICI Return Guarantee Fund, IDBI Fortis Bondsurance and Birla Sun Life Platinum Plus. You can read my take on those policies by following the links mentioned for each of those. Now, here is a quick review of SBI life Smart ULIP.
As usual, first the good things about this product:
- The Smart ULIP product provides NAV guarantee that is the highest of 168 fortnightly NAVs during first seven years or NAV at maturity, whichever is higher.
- In case of the unfortunate event of the death of the insured during the policy term, the nominee receives the higher of fund value or sum assured.
- Shorter premium paying term (3 or 5 years).
- Tax benefit on both premiums [U/s 80C] and maturity amounts[U/s 10(10D)]
- Investment is managed by SBI Life – policy holder need not panic in volatile market
Now the bad:
- Short term – just 10 years!
- Too many charges
- Premium allocation charges : 15% in 1st yr, 5% for next 2-4 yrs for 3-5 yrs terms respectively.
- Admin charges – Rs 60/- per month for full term.
- For first three years, annual administration charges of Rs 5 per 1000 of sum assured.
- Fund management charge 1.5% pa. Fund management charge can be increased to 2.5% pa
- Mortality charge levied on 1st day of each policy month.
For more details on this product check the brochure and see the benefit illustration on their site.
Verdict:
This product may appear to be better than other ulip products in the market but not better than a combination of mutual funds with term insurance. I still suggest you folks not to combine insurance with investment. Invest of specific products for each purpose and reap the best benefits from each of those. I know many of you may not agree with me, again it boils down to individual requirement and the phase at which an individual looks at these products. Whatever the case may be, I welcome your comments and suggestions.

Can anyone advise me please.
I have invested in SBI Smart ULIP Rs 180,000 (Qly 15,000 x 3 years). Commenced the policy in 2009 and ended my premium payment recently. The policy term is 10 years. The highest NAV so far is Rs.19+. Upon maturity I will get the benefit either based ont he highest NAV during the first 7 years or the NAV at the time of maturity, whichever is higher. Let us put it this way. The highest NAV upon maturity is 19, then what will be my final earnings on this. Can anyone tell me. I know in ULIP it is purely based on market conditions. Let’s take the highest NAV as Rs.19. Can anyone tell me exactly what will be the amount I would receive at the end. Thanx friends.
vikas says
Hi,
I see a lot of people asking almost same questions. My advice to you is Pls register in SBILife.co.in with your Policy and check your account. You would find the no os shares allotted to you and current rate of nav.
Also below it you would see the highest value of Nav for your policy period till date.
Multiply the highest NAv with no os shares…You are there…Thats the minimum sum you would get….
Hope it helps you.
Krishna says
Thank u Vikas.
I know the calculations as u suggested. The highest NAV x # of units u hold will be the amount. My simple question is this. At the present market conditions, if I multiply the total units I hold x the maximum NAV achieved so far (19.23) comes to less than what I invested so far. My investment is 180k. What way this scheme is benefial to the investor. This is a royal way of cheating, is it not? Why these FIs’ design such schemes, with hidden agendas, and cheat the poor investors? I know there are thousands of investors like me, blindly believed the words of Agents and got cheated. I do know Insurance & Investments are two different aspects. But still. These FIs’ should be more transparent towards the investors, make the investor understand about the scheme thoroughly before put their hard earned money in such stupid instruments. @#$@!!@#$
Sridhar says
Hi Krishna, I am also in the same boat. Even the highest NAV of the fund value is just rs. 6000 more than my initial investment. Please also do not forget the monthly charges they take, which will reduce the value of fund even lower. But, please do not lose heart. It just takes on bull run the market for us to start seeing the profits. Please keep an eye on the NAVs and opt out of the fund at the best oppotunity.
krishna says
Dear Sridhar,
Thanx for your kind reply dear. My apologies for a delayed ack. I am checking the site often. Really I didn’t know before, else I would have kept myself away from this gambling sort of investing. Agents are so crooked, they just convince you in such a way that they cleverly tell you the ‘pros’ but hide the ‘cons’ part of it. In fact I was just ignorant in this field while commenced my investment. Inf act my knowledge about ULIP was just ‘zero’. Let’s C how the market grows. The bullshness of the market these days seems to be skeptical. Let’s cross our fingers. Good Luck dear and indeed wishing you a fabulous NY. Best rgds Krishna
Neeraj says
Hi Folks !
Even I keep asking myself and google around for the same answer…At the end of the day (MATURITY), what is the amount I will get assuming the highest NAV of 19.23…. ??
I need 1 clarfication what does this statement mean (on SBI Life website last paragraph: http://www.sbilife.co.in/sbilife/common/news.do?contentid=3521§ionid=22&adminnewsdetails=0):
“The SMART ULIP plan can be availed by an investor who is atleast 8 years or at most 60 years of age. The maturity age is upto 70 years. One can pay premium a yearly, half yearly, quarterly or monthly premium depending on his/her convenience. Smart ULIP has a minimum yearly premium of Rs 50,000 and fixed Sum Assured which is 5 times the annual premium.”
What does it mean when they refer to the fixed sum assured which is 5 times the annual premium ??
Expecting some good response from the experts !!
Thanks,
Neeraj

Hari Varma says
Basic Charges in ULIPs :
1). Premium Allocation Charge: This is a percentage of the premium appropriated towards charges before allocating the units. This percentage is generally higher in the first few years varying greatly from company to company. Say your premium allocation charges are 30%, and then out of your total premium paid of Rs. 1,00,000 Rs. 70,000 are invested in the funds effectively.
2). Mortality Charges: These are the charges to insure you against life cover which depends on no of factors such as age, amount of coverage, state of health etc. If you don’t take a life cover then your mortality charges become zero. As these charges depend upon your age primarily, these charges could be around 1.3 for a 30 year old guy & can extend to 6.4 for a 50 years old guy per Rs. 1000 of the sum assured.
3). Fund Management Charges: These charges are deducted for managing the funds before arriving at the Net Asset Value (NAV). The fee is charged as a percentage of funds under management by the fund mangers. These are ranging from 0.5-2% per annum.
4). Policy/Administration Charges: These are the charges for administration of the plan which could be flat throughout the policy term or vary at a pre-determined rate. These are a monthly fixed amount which varies every year with inflation or as a percentage of sum assured.
5). Surrender Charges: These charges are deducted for premature partial or full encashment of units.
6). Fund Switching Charges: The charges when you wish to switch ULIP options like from Equity to debt. Generally a limited number of switches are allowed without any charge.

Finally I surrendered the Policies and got @Rs.1,33,432/- after investing total Rs.1,50,000/- ; Installment-I =Rs.50,000/- in June 2009; Installment II =Rs.50,000/- in June 2010 and Installment III =Rs.50,000/- in June 2011. Policy surrendered on 14.06.2012.
Principal Loss = Rs. 16,568/-
Loss of interest if kept in FD = Rs.27,750/-

Total loss : Rs. 44,318/-
I think this is enough to visualize the SBI Smart Ulip. What ever the agents tell they tell protecting their interest only keeping customer in dark. Rules and regulations printed in micro font are practically unreadable which helps agents to exploit customers.One who has little savings of his hard earn money please keep it covered and protect that from the cruel-selfish eye of vultures.
manas says
I am investing SBI ULIP II Regular 24K for 5 years and I find the fund value still remain low in comparison to what I invested. Is it worthwhile to discontinue or still continue for better return and what can be the return after 20 years if I continue to invest?

Manik Bansal says
Dont buy this policy, its not a good policy, Agents are making people fool.
I had taken SBI Smart Ulip @ Rs.60,000/- PA with effect from June 2009 and till now i deposited 13 installment on March 2012. At the time of buying the policy the Agent (a probationary officer of SBI) told me at that you can take your money anytime after 3 year and you will be paid as per the maximum freezed value. But it is not true. Also till now i have deposited 195000 and my current fund value is 172000, so i have a huge loss. Also i bought Money Market Fund but i dont know why they always convert my money into Flexi protect fund. As per my analysis on each of the installment they charge allocation fee and so many other deductions…which were not told by agent…. i calculated the last year dection amount was:
Allocation charges – 828 * 12 = 9936
Other charges Admin + etc.. = 660.18*12 = 7922.16
so total money deduction was near about 18000, which was not explained by agent at the time of giving the policy.
So, Guys be carefull of these agents , before buying any policy first read all details and then take it. otherwise you will be on huge loss like me….
S. Mittra says
I had taken Two policies of SBI Smart Ulip for my daughters @ Rs.50,000/- PA with effect from June 2009 and deposited the final installment on June 2011.The agent (a probationary officer of SBI) told me at that time that, ” after three years you will get back double the amount and that is assured if you opt to withdraw”.
It was by virtue of the reputation and reliability of SBI(a great name in Indian Standard),I believed on the version of the then probationary officer, took these policies.
Now, after getting certain feed back from the sufferer of SBI Smart Ulip scheme I inquired from the local branch office of SBI Life regarding the status of my policies and got to know that after paying all the three installments(Rs.1,50,000/-) I will get back Rs.1,40,000/-(approx.) on June 2012 if I opt to withdraw .This is the fate of my hard earn money after paying 30% Income Tax.It is surprising that how an organization like SBI is allowing such type of business with the citizens loyal to SBI.
The loss on my hard earn money may be roughly calculated as: First Installment on FD for 3Years=Rs.63500(@9% interest); Second=RS.59000 and Third=Rs.54500; the total obtainable would be Rs.1,77,000/- that is a loss of Rs.37000/-
It is now the customer to realize.

i took sbismartulip from sbi dumdum (2054) at the request of sri anup ganguly, the then branch manager(now at dumdum cantt branch).he said that i am to pay one time premium and it will cover for 10 yrs and also may be withdrawn within 3 yrs with highest nav.he also insisted me to pay 75000rs and accordingly the cheque was amended from 50000 to 75000 against policy no 33026959801. but on receipt of policy i found that i shall havto pay for 3 yrs, i had to deposit 3instalments from 2009. iwas not explained about different charges being taken by bank. simply the officers to get commision cheats the customers.i do not know what is my fate with my hard earned money.
Mohammed Shafiuddin says
Really SBI people made the customer to misunderstand the policy. Even the agents are unable to tell it clearly. This plan is loosing the money only. Not a good one.

P Ramarao says
i have invested .50 lakh in every year for 3 years in SBI Smart ULIP at the time of commencing the agent has given some false information and my advice to others is dont invest in ULIPs it is better to go for invest in fixed deposits. When ever we need we can cancel them in urgency time. but it is not possbile in ULIPS.

Hello,
I invested in SBI smart performer plan , with 1,00,000/ one time and as they have said u will get more than double amount after the 5 years.
Is it True?
Can anyone explain the procedure and logic of this plan. also tell me the good and bad things of this plan.
sonal says
Hi Mr.Ajay,
I want to tell u some things about this plan. Before that, u didn’t mentioned the Date Of Commencement. The features of these plan are-
5% higher than highest guaranteed NAV during the first seven years or prevailing NAV at maturity, whichever is higher.
It means, your units are guaranteed for the highest price within first seven years from the first policy day. It considers daily NAV. If on maturity,the price of units are higher than the first 7 years then, you’ll get the Maturity price. Plus 5% of that fund value.
Here, I’d like to mention that if we think, the charges are higher in this plan, then they are refunded to us through these 5% ‘.
The policy term is 10 years. So that you have to complete the term to get the highest NAV. So as you’ve told of double in 5 years is false. It may be or may not be possible. Because even if we invest in Mutual Funds, it requires minimum 10 years to get the profit, and so this plan gives us with Life Insurance. The plan is very nicely designed. I also invested in this plan.
Regards, Sonal Agrawal.

Hi, Mr. Ajay and Mr. Sonal

i have so far paid rs.50000/-p.a for 3 years/ at the timeof taking policy they told me that if u pay atleast for 3 yrs its enough and if u wnt u can witdraw at any time. but now they say that u have to keep it for 10 yrs. clarify me. if i am not able to pay the further premiums wats my position. please
abhishek tibrewal says
hello sir, all agents sell the policy telling you have to pay only for three years while your policy will continue till the term even if you dont pay then, because they can earn hefty profit only in first three years. Again to save tax, you will need some plans, they will again come to you with any of such plan you and fool you saying invest only for three months. In your case just continue with the policy as all the major charges have been deducted and now major will be invested in your fund. In 10 yrs horizon quiet possible you can have 6-8% return. Please do not surrender if you do not need money. Next time invest in pure term and ELSS or PPF for tax saving.

HI Guys,
If you have say 1lac rupees and someone says invest it in xyz scheme And after 10 yrs you will get say 3 or 5 lac rupees. Then i ll suggest hold tightly your 1lac rupees and run away with a speed of 120kmps.
During the period of 10yrs, at any moment if you require urgent money, then you won’t be able to get it easily!!!
All are here to make you fool…! Using your money they will earn lot and keep you in a dreamworld only! They will have Audi/Mercedes and you will be only in dream of that.

Dear Mohan,
Your website and Blog has been giving very valuable information for me regarding the SBI ULIP Plans. I too realized it little late only after investing about 50K/Per Annum on SBI LIFE UNIT PLUS II Plan during Nov-2008. I have already paid three premiums and now by the year end I would need to pay the 4th one. Is it advisable to go ahead continuing this policy as I could not see any profitable investment in this so far. Would like to know if I should close this policy and invest the money elsewhere.
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions

abhishek tibrewal says
Invest in any of the ELSS with good five year track record or PPF + term insurance for tax benefit. Invest in infrastructure bond and mediclaim for further tax benefit. Never invest in ULIP they do not give good return, only if you are committed to invest for 20-25 yrs that also one with low premium allocation charges. Bye happy tax investing.

Can I reduce the SA to the paid-up portion? or I hav no option but to pay?
Can i reduce the annual premium to a more affordable level?
When can i withdraw the money in such case.

ya your answer is correct i am invested in this ulip plan bur i am not satisfied this plan very fool plan please any information this policy me and surrender this policy how the surrender and which many can by hand me
AS says
same here,
the smart ulip says – gauranteed returns based on highest of the NAV’s in the 1st 7 years or the NAV on the maturity date (or say on the date when the policy is surrendered after the 1st 3 years since inception).
the catch is to avail this highest NAV, one has to wait (i.e. keep the money locked) with the sbi life atleast till 7 years — which is just so foolish.
actually am a victim of the policy!!!
Moorthy says
Yes, I feel the same. I have paid two installments Rs 50000/- per annum. If any benefit will get after 10 yrs compare than fixed deposit. Anyone get a benefit plz inform me.
