Mangalore, February 17: ING Life India, in its 10th year of operations, on Thursday launched a new traditional insurance product ING ACE (Pension & Life) with features such as high guaranteed additions, limited premium pay and tax benefit under Section 80 of Income Tax Act.

Speaking at the launch, Murali L, Executive Vice President (Karnataka & Goa), said the pension variant of this insurance product offers customers an attractive guaranteed addition of 8.75 per annum throughout the 10-year term of the policy. Both variants are beneficial for customers because they need to pay premiums for only 3 years in an annual mode, and tax benefits.

The customer can choose his/her premium while investing; moreover, the product offers guaranteed additions of 8.75 per annum of maturity sum assured, compounded every year throughout the term of the policy, while customers can pay their premiums only for 3 years.

Customers also have the option of purchasing an annuity product with the entire amount or receive a third of the lump sum and invest the balance in an annuity product. In case of death, the policy offers a guaranteed death benefit of all premiums paid, compounded at 3 percent.

Mr Murli also said that the variants of ING ACE offers customers a guaranteed addition of 7 percent or 7.75 percent per annum of maturity sum assured throughout the 10 years of the policy depending in the premium paid.

The variant offers a life cover plus a guaranteed death benefit of 5 times the annual premium paid plus the convenience of paying only 3 years of the premium.

Mangaluru, Nov 28: Karnataka Health Minister and Dakshina Kannada district in-charge minister Dinesh Gundu Rao on Friday handed over Chief Minister Siddaramaiah’s letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the severe distress faced by farmers due to crashing crop prices.

PM Modi arrived at the Mangaluru International Airport en route to Udupi, where Gundu Rao welcomed him and submitted the letter. The chief minister’s message stressed that farmers are suffering heavy losses because maize and green gram are being bought far below the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The state urged the Centre to immediately begin procurement at MSP.

According to the letter, Karnataka has a bumper harvest this year—over 54.74 lakh metric tons of maize and 1.98 lakh metric tons of green gram—yet farmers are unable to secure fair prices. Against the MSP of ₹2,400/MT for maize and ₹8,768/MT for green gram, market rates have plunged to ₹1,600–₹1,800 and ₹5,400 respectively.

The chief minister has requested the Centre to:

• Direct NAFED, FCI and NCCF to start MSP procurement immediately.
• Ensure ethanol units purchase maize directly from farmers or FPOs.
• Increase Karnataka’s ethanol allocation, citing high production capacity.
• Stop maize imports, which have depressed domestic prices.
• Relax quality norms for green gram, allowing up to 10% discoloration due to rains.

The letter stresses that MSP is crucial for farmer dignity and income stability and calls for swift central intervention to prevent a deepening crisis.

Bengaluru: The Vokkaligara Sangha on Thursday issued a stern warning to the Congress, saying the party could face serious electoral repercussions if Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar is not appointed as Chief Minister.

The warning follows the public backing of Shivakumar’s chief ministerial ambition by top Vokkaliga pontiff Nirmalanandanatha Swami, who urged the Congress high command to honor his claim.

“The community supported Congress in the 2023 Assembly elections only because Shivakumar had a real chance to become CM. If he is cheated, we’ll teach the party a big lesson,” said newly elected Sangha president L. Srinivas. He added that Vokkaligas would organize protests under the guidance of community leaders.

General Secretary C.G. Gangadhar pointed out that Congress won more seats in the Vokkaliga-dominated Old Mysuru region due to Shivakumar’s influence, adding, “If Congress wants to retain power, Shivakumar should be made the CM.”

Outgoing president Kenchappa Gowda emphasized Shivakumar’s contribution to Congress’ victory. “Our community voted for Congress thinking he would become CM. Siddaramaiah has also served the party well, but Shivakumar should now be given a chance,” he said.

Former general-secretary Konappa Reddy appealed to Sonia and Rahul Gandhi to recognize Shivakumar’s loyalty and service, saying, “Congress is known to keep its promises. We hope it won’t break the promise made to him.”
