Deal All,

This is to inform you about a Corporate fruad by HDFC as stated below.......Here the consultant cheated by saying all the good things about the Policy and when he joined the scheme by paying INR 150,000.00 / year premium, came to know after getting the first statement that INR 60,000.00 was taken as just administrative fee and rest 90,000.00 only paid as premium amount!!!!...please find below related communications to understand the real situation....Hence please be carefull with such greedy corporates and consultants who can cheat any of you!!!!

Dear Mr........,

Greetings from HDFC Standard Life Insurance Co. Ltd!

We would again request you to refer to the below chart wherein you can view the Premium Allocation Rate (PAR) of the above mentioned policy:

The remaining 40% of the premium charged in the first year, 15% in the second year and 2% for the rest of the term is levied towards defraying administrative cost and commission. The details of these charges have been mentioned in the Schedule of Charges and also in the standard policy provision Section 14.

Please also find the details of other charges applicable on your policy:

Policy Administration Charge: Rs. 60 per month.
Fund Management Charge: 1.25% of the fund per annum charged on daily basis.
Service Tax & Education Cess on all charges as per current rate (10.30%)

Dear Mr. Rajesh Kumar,

Can you please clarify a bit more in a simple term...as whatever you have written is a bit complicating for me....my queries is are as below...

1. i have been told by the consultant that, i just have to make the premium for 3 yrs and i can withdraw / reinvest after the 5th or can opt for pension scheme...now its a bit confusing now.....will there be any liability / or demerits for me if i withdraw my total amounts after the 5th year...?

2. please advice specifically what happned to my rest of the amount which i mentioned below....

"now having seen the fund transaction, came to know that, my current value of the funds is 79.112.96...though i joined the scheme only on 30th June...can you please advice if this is the only fund left - as i paid 150,000.00 as the 1st premium!!!...since am not much familiar with this transaction...can you please advice the details"

this is not at all justifiable to take 60,000.00 INR as administrative cost from a piad up some of 150,000.00........please explain....

BRG/ ..........................

I work in insurance and things you think you're covered for you most likely aren't. Always read the small print before taking out a policy

I find it worrying that moderators would leave this post, which poses a far greater risk of shutting down QL if it proves baseless or worse malicious, while deleting many more innocuous threads.
