What is a ULIP?

ULIP is a multi-functional insurance product. In this plan, both life insurance and investment plans are combined. Premiums for ULIP plans need to be paid regularly. A part of the premium goes towards providing life insurance coverage. Remaining premiums are then invested in equities and debts as per user preference.

 

ULIP invests money taken from policyholders into funds they choose. The total invested amount is divided into 'units', each with a certain face value. The 'units' are then allocated to investors based on their investment. Each unit has an NAV (Net Asset Value), which shows how much each asset is worth. ULIP calculators can help you estimate potential returns based on factors like premium amount, fund choice, and investment duration.

 

Unit-linked plans are managed by professional fund managers, who invest a significant portion of the premium after closely monitoring market fluctuations. Depending on the results of the analysis, necessary changes are made again.

 

After the policy matures, you will receive the total fund value at that time. In the event of the policyholder’s death, the nominee receives the higher of the sum assured or 105% of the premium amount paid to date or the fund value of the policy.

Choosing suitable fund options depends on individual risk tolerance and investment horizon. Equity-oriented funds may suit higher risk preferences, while debt-oriented funds may support more stable financial growth.

Tax benefits for NRIs investing in ULIPs

ULIPs for NRIs offer the following tax benefits:

Tax benefits for ULIP premiums

ULIP premiums paid by NRIs and Indian citizens are tax exempt2. NRIs are eligible for a deduction of ₹1.5 Lakh under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act. If the ULIP premium is up to ₹2,50,000 and equal to or less than 10% of the sum assured, NRIs are eligible for maturity benefit exemption under Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961

ULIP maturity tax benefits

As per section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, NRIs can avail of exemptions from taxes on death benefits.
When NRIs reach maturity, they qualify for tax2 benefits, subject to the following provisions:

  1. When plans are issued on or after February 2021, NRIs can claim tax benefits on maturity only if the total premium paid is equal to or less than ₹2.5 Lakhs in any of the previous years. ULIP plans purchased before February 2021 are tax-exempt for NRIs only if the premium is less than 20% of the sum insured. Capital gains tax will apply if the premiums exceed ₹2.5 Lakh annually. However, this only applies to ULIPs purchased after February 1, 2021.
  2. If any NRI withdraws their ULIP policy before the lock-in period of 5 years, the amount surrendered is added with their taxable income and taxed at the slab rate. However, no charges apply if the ULIP policy is surrendered after 5 years.
  3. Furthermore, NRIs are subject to double taxation, which affects their overall income. Compared with Indian permanent citizens, NRIs are subject to much higher income taxes. To avoid paying double taxes, it is necessary to go through the Double Tax Avoidance Agreement. India has partnered with the DTAA, which allows NRIs to avoid paying taxes in both countries.

Conclusion

ULIP plans provide NRIs with life insurance protection as well as long-term investment opportunities. With features such as fund switching, top-ups, and partial withdrawals, ULIPs allow flexibility to adapt to changing market conditions. Aside from growth benefits, ULIPs offer valuable tax2 benefits under Section 80C and 10(10D).
