Whether to buy LIC’s term plans or not?
Major drawback why lot of people stayed away from LIC term plans are their pricing. They are costly when you compare with online or offline term plans available with other insurers in India. But few still tried to buy term plans with LIC because of their faith in it and to diversify their risk among insurers. Currently I don’t have valid table to compare. But when I considered the available resources I found that these new plans are cheaper than the older (this is my assumption and will update on it shortly).
For example for the aged 30 years and SA Rs.1,00,00,000 and term 25 years was previously cost us Rs.29,200 yearly. But now it is costing us Rs.22,028 (claiming to be inclusive of tax).

Pension Plans are Individual Plans that gaze into your future and foresee financial stability during your old age. These policies are most suited for senior citizens and those planning a secure future, so that you never give up on the best things in life.
Jeevan Akshay-VILIC's New Jeevan Nidhi
What is Pension Plan?All of us are worried about our income when we retire. Pension Plans, also called Retirement Plans are one of the safest and surest ways of a trouble-free retirement life. Invest small amounts today while you are earning and receive fixed annual payouts during your retirement years. You build your kitty by investing small amounts regularly in your earning days and then use that kitty to buy an Annuity on retirement. The annuity will ensure the regular payouts during your golden years of retirement.
It is best to start planning for your retirement as early as possible because these small amounts contributed today will become a large sum of money over the years.
Pension Plans are flexible and can be used effectively if planned out well. On attaining the retirement age, the policy holder can withdraw 33% of the maturity amount for some immediate financial needs. The balance amount is used to purchase an annuity which gives a regular monthly/annual income

What is Child Insurance Plans?Child Insurance Plans are the best way for investing in your child's future. From a very early age of the child, the parent can invest fixed amounts every year which can be timed to mature when the child attains a certain age, say 18 years. Major events in the child's life, like marriage or higher studies can be planned and financed by Child Insurance Policies if the parent takes adequate plans at the right time. Plans can be purchased as soon as the Child is born.
In certain Child Plans there are built-in flexibilities which keep the policy active and waive off the premium even after the death of the parents. These options are extremely useful as no other financial instrument offers such flexible options. Most plans come with built-in riders or add-on covers such as Waiver of Premium benefit.
Types of Child Insurance Plans?Child Insurance Plans come in 2 variants:
Traditional Plans
Traditional plans in which the amount of payout is guaranteed. Here the investments are usually made in safe and low yielding products. The returns will not be great but they will be stable and predictable.
ULIPs
ULIPs - here the investments are more into equity markets and the chances of returns over a longer period of time are much higher. The policyholder can even choose to invest in debt instruments, in which case it becomes similar to the traditional plans investments. The flexibility is completely in the hands of the investor and one can switch between the types of funds also.
