It’s not only limited to education, child investment plans are suitable for parents who want to ensure that their child doesn’t have to think twice before taking up his dreams – be it education, marriage, and every other key milestone in his/her life.

Skyrocketing Education Costs in India

One of the major expenses that parents need to plan for their child is education. So let’s take into consideration how the cost of education is rising in India. In the past ten years, inflation has been ranging from 4 to 8%. While the government defined inflation for the last 10 years has been in the 4-8% range, and the cost of education has increased in double digits in these years.

For instance, the fees charged by a premier MBA institute in India is nearly Rs.19 lakhs, which was Rs, 4.5 lakhs in the class of 2010. This shows that there has been an average increase of 12% every year in the past 10 years.

And if we look at the fees of B.tech Institutes it has increased to Rs. 10 lakhs from Rs. 3.6 lakhs in a span of ten years. This shows that the fees of these instituted increase at the rate of 10% every year. Even the fees of MBBS Institutes rose by 10% every year.

Investment Strategy

The first step is to list down your goals, like the course your child will like to pursue and its fees. It will help you determine the amount that you need to save every month or ever year and the total that you can afford apart from your routine expenses. If you do not want to pay interest on education loans you can invest in advance for your child. This way you will not have to cut down your own expenses including medical expenses and even retirement.

Factor in the Inflation Quotient

The strategy is simple while selecting the best child investment plan to take inflation into consideration. Education inflation results in a significant increase in the cost of education every year. To be able to meet the education expenses it is imperative that you start saving early and also take into consideration the time factor. If you plan to send your child abroad to study then you need to consider the fluctuations in the money exchange rate. And all these limitations can be overcome with a consistent and effective investment strategy.
