Is ULIP good to buy?

There are far better products than ULIP. The two reasons I say so are - 1) charges are higher as the commission is fat. 2) The insurance cover they provide is very low.

It is better to go for a term plan for insurance, and some direct mutual funds for market linked returns.

Ulip are bad products, NEVER EVER TAKE ULIP,

Lol
