How Does the LIC Child Career Plan Work?

Here, let us include a case study to explain how the Plan Works:

Miss Dipanjali took LIC’s Child Career plan for her newborn baby. She chose the policy tenure of 25 years and the premium payment tenure of 6 years. Miss Dipanjali opted for a sum assured of Rs1,00,000, and the monthly premium paid by her is Rs 10,128. The extended tenure of the policy is 7 years.

If the parent dies during the policy term, then the future premiums will be waived off. Since the life cover is on the child, the death benefit is payable only on the death of the child.

If the child survives, he/she gets the following –

• At the end of the 20th year of the policy term – 30% of Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 30,000 + Simple reversionary bonus

• At the end of the 21st year of the policy term – 15% of Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 15,000

• At the end of the 22nd year of the policy term – 15% of Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 15,000

• At the end of the 23rd year of the policy term – 15% of Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 15,000

• At the end of the 24th year of the policy term – 15% of Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 15,000

• At the end of the 25th year of the policy term – 15% of Rs. 1,00,000 – Rs. 15,000 + Final additional bonus, if any.
