2. LIC Jeevan Tarun Plan:
The
Jeevan Tarun Plan is a participating, non-linked plan that offers a good
combination of insurance plus savings for children. The plan is specifically
designed to meet the financial needs of growing children. The plan offers an
annual survival benefit from the ages of 20 to 24 years and also offers a maturity
benefit as the end of 25 years. These years are generally the formative years
in an individual’s life when he/she is pursuing higher education and as such
needs money for various purposes. These financial needs include money for
admission to higher education courses, hostel fees and various other
expenditure.
The
survival benefit can be chosen by the policyholder and is a certain percentage
of the sum assured. This survival benefit is paid annually to the policyholder
starting from the anniversary year of policy. An optional rider which helps to
raise the total sum assured can be availed by policyholders.
This
plan can be availed by the parent or grandparent of any child between 0 and 12
years of age.
3. LIC New Children’s Moneyback Plan:
The
New Children’s Moneyback plan from LIC is aimed at addressing the financial
needs of your child once he or she grows up. These financial needs include
higher education as well as marriage. In addition to survival benefits, the
plan also offers risk cover for life of your child throughout the policy
period.
Survival
benefit equal to 20% of the sum assured is payable on completion of 18, 20 and
22 years of age. Maturity benefit is paid out in case the policyholder survives
the entire policy period. This maturity amount is equal to 40% of the sum
assured plus reversionary bonus plus terminal bonus if any. Simple reversionary
bonus comes from the profits earned by the company since this insurance policy
is a participating insurance scheme.
The
above list of plans is some of the on-going child insurance plans offered by
LIC. There are other child insurance plans which have been discontinued by the
company and which may come back at some point of time in future. Child plans
are an effective way of reducing and managing the financial liability that
comes with the birth of a child. With education expenses increasing on an
ongoing basis, it is imperative for customers to plan their finances in a way
which offers enough cushion for known and as well as unforeseen financial needs
of their kids.
