The death benefit is based on annualized premium, total premiums paid until death or any assured amount chosen in the policy term.
The beneficiary will get accrued paid-up sums on maturity. In case of the applicant’s death, the beneficiary will receive only the terminal bonus.
The child's future educational insurance offers a partial withdrawal benefit that helps the beneficiary pursue hobbies or talents. They can invest this money in building a career other than the means of education. The partially withdrawn money can also be used for the medical and hospitalization expenses of the child.
The child plans are tax exempted as per the Income Tax regulations of India. They fall under the E-E-E category of income tax exemption. The plans offer the highest tax exemption.
