Review of LIC Jeevan Umang Insurance Plan:

This is the conjunction of whole life plan and money back plan. Therefore, premium looks lower than the regular endowment or money back plans. But this plan carries its own risk of holding as the long term.

Liquidity is the largest fear with such plans. Therefore, better to stay away.

PPF will generate you more return than those buying a term insurance with a simple product. Then why to hold to it for so long?

No risk at all for many to buy term insurance with LIC and invest in PPF. If at all your concern is looking for lowest insurance cover and a good insurance company, then buy the term insurance from LIC itself.
