This is a non-linked, non -participating, individual savings plan. This effectively means that the returns from this plan are not linked to the market or LIC’s own performance.

Technical outlook: What can you expect from the Nifty 50?

In the previous update that we published on the possible levels for the Nifty 50, we expected a retest of June lows. This, however, did not play out.

Interestingly, the downside trigger level of 15,350 was not even challenged!
