What Are Child Education Plans?

Child education plans are especially designed to help parents financially secure their child’s future in a disciplined way. In a child education plan, you pay a premium (monthly, half-yearly, yearly, or single-pay) for a specific period. At the end of the policy term, you get a lump-sum amount as the maturity benefit. While you create a corpus for the child's education, the insurance element provides you with life cover.

In case of the unfortunate death of a parent (the policyholder), a child plan will support the nominee with triple benefits. While the life cover amount is paid to the family, the remaining premiums of the plan are paid by the insurer. Also, the child gets the benefit of a monthly payout to meet his/her expenses. That means, even in your absence, the child can use this amount to cover educational costs such as tuition fees, books, uniforms, etc. Besides, child education plans offer flexible payout options at important milestones of your child.

Tax Benefits: As the policyholder, you get tax benefits under sections 80C and 10 (10D) of the Income Tax Act in the child education plan. This means that the premiums paid towards the plan are eligible for tax deductions, reducing your overall tax liability. The tax benefits help maximize the returns on your investment, allowing you to save more for your child's education.
Life Cover: One of the top reasons to buy child plans is the life cover component. This means that if some unforeseen event happens during the policy term, a predetermined sum assured will be paid to your child. This ensures that the child's education is not disrupted even if you are not around.

Types of Child Education Plans

1

Child Unit Linked Life Insurance Plans (ULIPs)

As a parent, you undoubtedly want to provide your child with the education possible, whether it's at esteemed national institutions or prestigious foreign universities. However, relying solely on your savings may not be sufficient to meet the various expenses associated with such education. Market-linked child plans can enable you to create the necessary funds for fulfilling your child's ambitions.
2

Capital Guarantee Solutions

If you are looking for a safe and reliable investment option for your child's future, capital guarantee solutions are for you. They provide a guarantee that the initial invested capital will be protected, regardless of market fluctuations or economic uncertainties. This means that no matter how the financial markets perform, the principal amount you invest for your child will be safeguarded.
3

Guaranteed Return Plan (Traditional Plan)

Guaranteed return child plans are designed to provide guaranteed returns on investment along with insurance coverage for your child's future. These plans offer you a secure way to accumulate funds for your child's education or other important milestones. Unlike market-linked plans, traditional plans offer a predetermined rate of return throughout the policy term. This means that you can plan your child's future with more certainty, knowing the exact amount you will receive at maturity.

How Does a Child Education Plan Work?

Let’s understand this with the help of an example:

Mr Sharma, a 40-year-old professional, invests in a child plan for his daughter’s higher education. He can choose to pay the premium in lump sum, annually, half-yearly, or monthly. Now, consider the following figures for calculation:

Current age of the child: 10 years

Invested amount (monthly): Rs. 10,000

Invested for 10 Years

Withdraw After 20 Years

Rate of return amount: 19.93%*

In case of outliving the policy term: After the policy matures, the maturity amount that Mr. Sharma will receive is Rs. 1.72 Cr*. The amount can be used for the child’s higher education, considering that the inflation rate is approximately 6%.

And, in case of Mr. Sharma’s death in the 7th policy year, his daughter will still get the life cover**. The child will also get other benefits like a waiver of premiums and a monthly payout depending on the terms of the plan.

*The rate of return is subject to market performance.
**Depending on the plan the nominee will either receive full life cover or partial.

What is Life Cover and its Importance in Child Plans?

Life cover in a child plan is a financial safety net for your child in case of your untimely demise. It provides a lump sum amount to the beneficiary (usually the child), which can be used to meet the child's financial needs, such as education, marriage, and other expenses.

Here is why life cover is important in child plans:

Financial security for your child: In the unfortunate event of your death, life cover in a child plan will provide your child with a financial cushion to meet their needs. This can help them to achieve their life goals, even if you are not there to support them financially.
Peace of mind for you: Knowing that your child is financially secure in case of your death can give you peace of mind. This can allow you to focus on other aspects of your life, such as your career and your family.
Affordability: Life cover in a child plan is relatively affordable, especially when you consider the long-term benefits it provides. You can choose a life cover amount that fits your budget and your child's needs.

How Much Should You Invest in Child Education Plans?

The amount to invest in a child plan depends on various factors, including your financial situation, goals, and the cost of education. It is recommended to start investing as early as possible to take advantage of compounding growth in the child education plan. A general rule of thumb is to aim to save at least 20% of the estimated cost of education. However, this percentage may vary based on your income, other financial obligations, and the time remaining until your child starts their education.

So, setting a realistic budget that aligns with your income and expenses is important. Consider estimating the future cost of education, factoring in inflation and potential scholarship opportunities. Additionally, review the investment options and contribution limits of the specific child plan you choose. You can use our Child Plan Calculator to understand your investment requirements.

How to Choose the Right Child Education Plan?

If you are not sure which child plans to buy, consider the following key points before making a purchase decision.

Look for Triple Benefits: A child plan offers triple benefits for comprehensive protection. The triple benefit includes life cover for the parent, waiver of premiums on the death of a parent, and monthly income for the child. This structure makes a child education plan a perfect choice for securing your child's future.
Check for Partial Withdrawal Options: Child plans offer the option to withdraw up to a limit from the plan during the policy term. This benefit helps you to be prepared financially for the different life stages of your child.

The Reputation of the Insurance Provider: Seek out financially stable companies with a favorable claim settlement ratio. This ensures their ability to fulfill commitments upon plan maturity or in case of unforeseen events.
Plan Flexibility: Look for child education plans that offer flexibility in premium payment options, policy terms, and coverage, among other things.
Diverse Investment Fund Options: Market-linked child education plans offer you the option to select from different funds like debt, equity, and a combination of both according to your risk appetite.

Also, remember that the earlier you start, the more benefits you get. Starting your investment early helps to build a larger corpus, which in turn, gives greater freedom in making any financial decision.

What is the Child Education Plan Claim Process?

The claim process for child plans involves the following steps:

Informing the insurance company: In the event of a claim, you should immediately inform the insurance company about the incident. Contact the insurer's customer service or claims department and provide them with the necessary details.

When to buy a child education plan?
Ideally, you must buy the child education plan as soon as your kid is born. Nevertheless, buy a child education plan only when you understand the variable given below:
- Knowledge – Inflation is an antecedent of rising costs and such surging costs do not allow savings. Even if you manage to save, such savings are eventually used in financial contingencies when your savings are not allocated to meet specific causes.
- Type of Plan – Child plans come in both kinds of insurance variants namely, unit-linked insurance plans, and traditional plans. It is up to you to decide whether you want to experience market risks and reap better returns or want a traditional plan for guaranteed returns.
- Benefits – Once you've decided the type of plan you'd like to buy, you must compare the benefits of the plan. Do thorough research and find out what the policy's death benefits and maturity benefits are. Also, find out if the plan comes with any bonus if it's a traditional child policy.
Figure out if there is any feature of guaranteed additions in the ULIP plans. Guaranteed additions and bonuses play an important role in enhancing the financial corpus accrued and must be given due consideration.
Can I purchase a child insurance plan for my 15-year old kid?

Yes, you can buy a child plan for your 15-year old kid via two modes – offline and online. In the offline mode, you need to schedule a meeting with an insurance agent of the insurer or visit the insurers' office. Or you can simply visit the website of insurance web aggregators and insurers.
What is the difference between a nominee and a beneficiary?

As the name suggests, a nominee in a child policy is a person who is appointed or nominated by the insured to take care of his/her assets, financial records, etc. after his demise.

A beneficiary in a child education plan is a person who has a financial interest in the policyholder's life. The beneficiary can either be a financial institution like a bank that provides finance/loans to the insured or legal heirs. In some cases, the beneficiary and nominee can be the same individual.
Why is beneficiary or nominee important in a child plan?

Beneficiary plays a crucial role in a child's plan. When the parent dies, all the money goes to the beneficiary. Hence, it is really important that you know and understands the role of the beneficiary properly. Once you are aware, choose a beneficiary wisely if you want the proceeds to go to your child and not be misused.
