Top Child Plans offered by LIC


1. Child Career Plan:

Child Career Plan by LIC, as the name itself suggests, is specially designed to meet the career planning goals of your child as well as other financial needs during his/her growth phase. The plan offers not just risk cover for life of the child insured but also substantial survival benefits in case the policyholder survives the entire policy term. The flexibility offered by this insurance plan is great and the customer is free to choose sum assured, premium amount, policy period mode of payment etc.

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.
