Annual Premium Amount - 19,000 Already Paid Premium for years - 7 Years Total Premium Paid - (19,000 X 7) = 133,000 Deduct first year premium = (133,000 - 19,000) = 114,000 Guaranteed Surrender Value @ 30% Premium Paid (excluding first premium) - 114,000 X 30/100 = 34200* *I am not getting the right amount (46,000) as mentioned by you above, where am I wrong?
I guess they are paying accrued bonus too with some % calculation with the amount which is somewhere around 63000 and than same. But doesnt this amount too look pity when compared to premium paid. If the policy is surrendered and the amount of 46000 and also unpaid premium of 57000 is placed under some mutual fund which gives 12% annual return even that will pay much more on maturity if invested now(somewhere 9 lakh 60000 whereas at 3% this policy will pay below 9 lakhs).

For insurance of 4 lakh i guess spending 3000 a year wont be a problem plus for 100 rupees you get 4 lakh rupee personal accident death cover if you have any bank account(sbi). Is it wise to surrender the policy and go for term insurance and investment elsewhere.

Because even the person can pay premium now.But say 10 years down the line some emergency happens and he needs to surrender the policy hardly a lakh and half or even less will be provided back.
