Let’s look at the product offerings of ICICI Pru that cover all your requirements through standalone child plans.
ICICI girl child plans are unique insurance cum savings products that allow parents to grow funds for their daughters’ futures. These range from traditional endowment-based child education plans, and ULIPs, to savings accounts such as the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana. Let’s peruse these options in more detail.
Child plans are protection plans for young children that safeguard their future in the absence of an earning parent. Further, these plans help one to grow a corpus for their kids through investments in market-linked funds via ULIPs. A child education plan can help you save for their education and finance any field they might want to pursue, be it internationally or from a prestigious national university. The best child insurance plan is one that offers comprehensive protection as well as wealth creation opportunities.
ICICI child plans collect a premium amount from the parent for a certain period. This amount pays for insurance protection and investment opportunities. Once this period ends, the child receives a lump sum amount to take care of their needs. On the death of a parent, the policy pays out a death benefit which ultimately can be used to finance their pursuits. Moreover, ICICI waives off future premiums on the death of a parent required to keep the policy in force which ensures that the child is secure throughout the policy tenure.
Women have been making significant strides in every field. Education plays an important role in lifting them up and getting them the opportunities that they deserve. As a parent, it is upon you to secure their futures so that they don’t struggle for finances to achieve their dreams. However, education is not cheap in India. Getting an MBA, an engineering degree, or a medical certification requires lakhs and lakhs of rupees. With inflation burning holes in parents’ pockets, it is imperative to think ahead and plan the finances surrounding your daughter’s education.
A child education plan for your girl child can act as a safety net to fall back on if any misfortune were to befall you. Even if you survive the policy term, such plans inculcate the habit of regular savings and the accumulated sum is paid out to you on the date of maturity. The best insurance plan for your girl child will be one that combines the benefits of insurance and market-linked investments to achieve comprehensive, well-rounded protection.
You have the option to invest in 3 different types of child plans at ICICI Prudential Life Insurance for your daughters. These are:
Girl Child Savings Account - Regular deposits earn interest for a specific tenure to accumulate into a lump sum payout at maturity.
Child ULIPs (unit-linked insurance plans) - Part of the premiums are invested in funds, the performance of which depends on market conditions. The other half goes towards the life insurance cover. The best investment plans for girl child in India offer flexibility in fund options and generate balanced returns based on the risk appetite of the investor.
Child Savings Plan - Traditional savings plan wherein premiums are paid against the desired life cover. At specific intervals, policyholders can enjoy income payouts to fund different milestones in a girl child’s life.
