The balance of the ULIP payment is allocated to funds of your choice after the mortality cost or insurance is deducted. The purpose of ULIPs is to assist you in accumulating money and assets. They are market-dependent as the market conditions define their results.

In the event of your death, the sum assured is paid to your beneficiary. Furthermore, the money you have invested will receive returns dependent on market circumstances, thereby assisting you in achieving long-term financial objectives.
As there is no limit specified by the IRDAI, the costs of managing ULIPs are significant. Expenses encompass life insurance mortality fees, premium allocation costs, fund management fees, and administrative costs.
