A child plan is one insurance plan which has been specifically designed only for the benefit of the child’s future. When, as a parent, you decide to invest in a child insurance plan, you undertake to assure that your child’s future will be secured no matter whatever your future holds. If you have a minor child, buying a child insurance plan becomes all the more necessary because the child needs your protection. Child plans which the insurance companies sell have a very unique design which is done only considering the child’s welfare. These types of insurance plans are either offered as a traditional plan or as a unit linked insurance plan. Traditional plans are those types of plans which have a long-term perspective and they keep the premiums for a longer tenure. Up on maturity, a fixed benefit is paid which is stated at the tie of buying the plan. If the policyholder dies during this tenure, a fixed benefit is also payable which is called a death benefit. Traditional plans also earn bonuses which further increase the child’s fund. Unit linked plans are linked to market returns where the premiums paid are invested in the market. As the market grows, so does your money and on maturity or on earlier death the fund value is paid. Child plans have a unique feature of an inbuilt rider which is called the Premium Waiver or Waiver of Premium Rider. These riders are useful when the parent’s life is insured under the plans. The rider states that if the parent of the child dies amidst the plan continuance, the child will not be deprived of the benefits earlier promised. The premiums which are due will be paid by the insurance company and the plan will run on the original terms. A specified amount of death benefit will be paid to the nominee immediately as death occurs. Thereafter, the plan continues by the payment of premiums by the insurance company. As the plan matures, the maturity benefit will again be paid and then the plan will terminate. So a child insurance plan pays two benefits when death occurs making it ideal for the child’s future financial requirement.
Generally a parent is insured under the plan but sometimes, the insurance plan may be designed to cover the life of a minor child. In these cases, the child will be the life insured and the parent will be the policyholder who will be supposed to pay the premiums. Since the parent pays the premiums, if he dies, the inbuilt premium waiver rider will kick-in here also. Again the premiums will be contributed by the insurance company while the child will be able to enjoy an insurance cover. There are two additional clauses in this type of plan. One is the deferment clause whereby the child is not immediately covered by the plan. There will be deferment period or the waiting period in the initial couple of years during which though the plan will be in force, the Sum Assured coverage will not. If the child dies during the deferent period, the company will only be liable to return the premiums which were paid till the death of the child and not the Sum Assured amount. After the deferment period is over, the risk cover will commence. Another clause is the Vesting clause. Since the parent is paying the premium and the child is a minor, the parent is the policyholder. On Vesting, the child becomes the policyholder of the child plan. After Vesting, the child can also make a nomination in the plan which was not required earlier. The Vesting date is the policy anniversary which falls after the child attains 18 years of age.
