LIC Child Future Plan

Parents are most concerned when it comes to securing their child's future. A child education plan is the easiest way to financially secure the future of one’s child. All insurance providers in India offer child insurance plans and one of the most popular plans among them is Child Future Insurance Policy offered by the Life Insurance Corporation of India. 

Child Future Insurance Policy is uniquely designed to meet different financial needs of a growing child. The plan not only helps parents bear the increasing cost of education but also financially takes care of the other important milestones in a child’s life, for example, marriage.

This policy will prevent all the risks on the life of the child not only during the policy term but also during the extended tenure. Here, the extended tenure refers to the seven years term after the completion of the policy term.

For your convenience, Child Future Insurance Policy provides flexibility to choose the Sum Assured (S.A.) amount, the maturity age, the policy term, the mode of premium payment and the premium frequencies as well. Moreover, a policyholder can also pay the premiums annually, semi-annually, or quarterly. The policyholder can also opt for the payment mode in which the premiums will be automatically deducted from your salary account every month. A policyholder may also pay the premiums for 6 years or up to 5 years before the completion of policy term.
