Child Plan Policy

A Child Plan Policy is a specially designed life insurance and investment plan that ensures your child’s future financial security. It helps parents build a fund to meet major life goals such as education, marriage, or other important milestones — even in case of the parent's untimely demise. The plan provides both protection and savings to guarantee that your child’s dreams are never compromised.

These plans combine life insurance with long-term investment benefits. If the insured parent passes away during the policy term, the plan continues, and all future premiums are waived while the child still receives the policy benefits. Over time, the investment component grows into a valuable corpus, which can be used for your child’s higher education or other financial goals.
