Invest Rs 1,500 and earn up to Rs 35 lakh. Check details here

Investment is very important but a lot of people get confused on looking at diverse investment options. Several schemes promise great returns but it also involves a certain amount of risk. That eventually forces people to select government-backed schemes even at the cost of lesser returns. One such scheme is Gram Suraksha scheme which is offered by India Post. It can be a good insurance scheme for those who are planning to save up for retirement years.

The Gram Suraksha scheme assures an amount with bonus that is either payable after reaching the age of 80 or to their legal heir/ nominee in the event of death, whichever occurs earlier.

To get the insurance scheme, an Indian citizen will be between the age of 19 and 55 years. The minimum sum assured under this plan is Rs 10,000 and it can go up to Rs 10 lakh. The premium payment can be done monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or annually. A grace period of 30 days is there for the customers to pay the premiums. If a lapse during the policy tenure happens, then the customer will pay the pending premiums to restart the policy.

The insurance scheme also has a loan facility that can be availed after four years of the policy purchase.

Customers can also decide to stop the policy after 3 years but that won’t fetch them any benefits. The most important highlight of the policy is the bonus given by India Post and the last declared bonus was Rs 65 per Rs 1,000 assured per year.

Let’s break the scheme so that one can easily understand how much they will get in return. If a customer buys the Gram Suraksha policy of Rs 10 lakh sum at the age of 19, then the monthly premium for 55 years will be Rs 1,515, for 58 years Rs 1,463 and for 60 years Rs 1,411. The policy buyer will then get a maturity benefit Rs 31.60 lakhs for 55 years, 33.40 lakhs for 58 years. The maturity benefit will be Rs 34.60 lakhs for 60 years.

IAF receives 56,960 applications under Agnipath scheme in three days

The Indian Air Force (IAF) has received 56,960 applications under the Agnipath recruitment scheme till Sunday, within three days of the registration process getting under way on Friday, a week after violent protests against it rocked several states.

“56960! That’s the total number of applications received till date from future Agniveers in response to the Agnipath recruitment application process on https://agnipathvayu.cdac.in. Registration closes on July 5,” the IAF stated on Twitter on Sunday.

Unveiling the Agnipath scheme on June 14, the government had said youth between the ages of 17-and-a-half and 21 years would be inducted for a four-year tenure, while 25 per cent of them will be subsequently inducted for regular service.

Several parts of the country had witnessed violent protests against the scheme.

The government had on June 16 increased the upper age limit for recruitment under the scheme to 23 years from 21 for the year 2022, and subsequently announced a slew of placatory steps like preference for them in central paramilitary forces and defence public sector undertakings upon their retirement.

Many BJP-ruled states also declared the ‘Agniveers’, as the soldiers will be known, will be accorded priority in induction into state police forces.

The armed forces have, however, made it clear those who had indulged in violent protests and arson against the new recruitment scheme will not be inducted.
