People have various financial goals, such as:
Each goal requires a financial corpus to achieve it, prompting individuals to earn and save money. Savings plans help in building this corpus. In case of an unfortunate event, your beneficiaries will need to file a claim with the insurance company from whom you purchased the plan. The insurer will assess the claim and pay the sum assured if the claim is valid and the policy was active at the time of the event. This process is the foundation of an insurer's claim settlement ratio.
There are two main types of life insurance savings plans. They are as follows:
A government-backed savings scheme offering guaranteed returns and long-term investment. Taxation: Contributions qualify for deduction under Section 80C, with tax-free interest and maturity proceeds.
A fixed-income scheme available through post offices. Taxation: Contributions and reinvested interest qualify for deduction under Section 80C. Interest earned in the 5th year is taxable at your income tax rate.
A small savings scheme with guaranteed returns and a tenure of 9.5 years. Taxation: Contributions are eligible for Section 80C deduction, but interest earned is taxable at your income tax rate.
A retirement savings scheme for salaried employees. Taxation: Contributions are deductible under Section 80C up to Rs. 1.5 lakh. Interest earned is tax-free subject to specific conditions.
Saving a lump sum amount for a fixed term with a fixed interest rate. Taxation: Investments in 5-year FD qualify for Section 80C deduction. Interest earned is taxable unless the depositor is a senior citizen.
A market-linked scheme aimed at building a retirement corpus. Taxation: Contributions are deductible under Section 80CCD(1) up to Rs. 1.5 lakh, with an additional deduction under Section 80CCD(1B). On maturity, part of the corpus is taxable.
The requirement for documents varies across insurance companies. However, some common documents required to buy savings plans are as follows:

A: Your savings depend on your income, expenses, and financial responsibilities. There’s no fixed number as it varies from individual to individual.
That being said, it is better to start saving from a younger age so that you can build a sufficient corpus for your financial goals.
