Humiliating kids and parents seems to be agenda nowadays.

It is getting worse by the day. The teachers are getting increasingly rude towards kids. All round people are complaining about favoritism, humiliation of children, corporal punishment. This is not the kind of school I wanted for my child.

I got cheated when I bought Bluetooth headset

I am never going to buy anything from IndiaTimes shopping site ever again. I saw an ad while looking for Nokia Bluetooth headset. The ad said 80% discount on Nokia BH 320 headset at IndiaTimes shopping. I paid for this item and later IndiaTimes shipped the product(which still said BH 320). No...Read more

The experience starts at admission. If your kid is selected in the secret interview process, you will have the honor to meet the head mistress (or principal), who doesn't even greet you with a hello. The fact that she is letting you in to her office is by itself a privilege. She does her best to...Read more

I dont believe this review. It is in contrast with other reviews. Looks like the guy writing this is the owner of the place :)

Birla Sun Life– is it “customer centric company” ?
Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance

CALA seems to be a BSLI agent? How dare you abuse the members of the community? I have gone through the grievance procedure and it is useless. 99% of the cases going to Ombudsman gets decided in favor of banks. Its very simple, common people are not very smart.

Birla Sunlife ULIP - hidden charges - must read
Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance

What a coincidence! I have been tricked in the exact same way as you were. It was 3 years ago, a citibank official tricked me in to believing this is the best policy available on earth. And this charge (65%) of your first year primium is called assignment cost or some other godforsaken word, which u...s normal human beings don't understand. This is what I have done. Immediately after 3 years, I booked losses. I dont want these scoundrels to make any more money by cheating me. I invest a lot of money every month and my wealth managers have been instructed to avoid the BSLI company instruments strictly. I have even adviced my friends to do the same and they are happy to follow. Exit from the policy immediately or after 3 years, if this period is close by. Even if you continue for your life time with this policy you will not make a penny. Only BSLI will make money with this. Debt funds/fixed deposit are better than this. Cutting losses early is key to be a good investor.Read More

Birla SunLife is the biggest con company in India
Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance

You seem to be an adamant supporter of ULIPs, come what may. I wonder why BSLI people were not as passionate. I have nothing against ULIPs. It is just this perticular policy doesnt make sense. Last week I went to meet BSLI people in their branch near my home. I wanted to enquire about the policy. Wh...en they gave me the details, I got annoyed. They told me that this policy is useless and they themselves dont dare to sell it. They told me that they have better policies which dont erode the premium. One of them even suggested to me to stop paying premium. There are cons in every area. May be ULIP as an instrument is a good one and may give flexibility to the fund managers to look at a long term perspective. But companies can misuse / twist the provisions provided by IRDA and rob money from customers legally. There is no point in blindly supporting something. Since there are lot of people facing the same dilemma (where is my money gone?), may be there is a problem.Read More

Well Phamitus, ULIPs may be long term products but that doesn't provide any ground to the insurers to charge 65% of premium as their charge. It is not one time charge. After first year, they are charging 7.5% of premium per annum. Where as if you purchase mutual funds, the entry load is just 2.5% (n...o exit load if you sell it after a year). ICICI provides life insurance coverage of 10 lakhs for just 3k per annum. Even mutual funds do well in long term and they don't gobble up your principal.Read More

Like others here, I too was conned by Citibank investment advisor to buy BSLI Flexi Enhancer policy. The first year 65% of the premium went into either citibank's pocket or BSLI's pocket. I dont understand what IRDA is doing. After paying them 1 lakh rupees in premium over 20 months, I checked t...Read more
