What is the Capital Guarantee Plan?

what is capital guarantee

A capital guarantee plan is a unique financial solution that combines the features of a Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) and a guaranteed return plan. Similar to a ULIP, a capital guarantee investment plan allows you to invest in the market and earn market-linked returns. At the same time, the plan ensures that your capital is 100% secure and offers a guaranteed capital return at maturity. This means you get your entire invested amount back, irrespective of market conditions. In addition to this, you earn market-linked returns.

A capital guarantee solution plan also offers a life cover that protects the financial interests of your loved ones in your absence. You also get to claim tax² benefits subject to the conditions of The Income Tax Act, 1961.
