Child & education · LIC of India

A fund that's there for your child — whatever happens.

Child plans build a guaranteed corpus for school, college and milestones. And with a premium-waiver benefit, the plan keeps funding itself even if you're no longer around to pay for it.

Why it matters

The one goal you can't reschedule.

Your child's admission won't wait for the market to recover or for savings to catch up. A dedicated child plan makes sure the money is ready at the exact ages it's needed — and its defining feature, the premium-waiver benefit, means that if the parent passes away, the insurer pays the remaining premiums and the plan still matures in full for the child.

Education costs in India are rising faster than general inflation. Starting early — even with a modest premium — gives compounding the years it needs. As an IRDAI-licensed advisor in [City], I'll help you size the fund to a realistic goal and start at a comfortable premium.

Child & education plan questions parents ask me

What exactly is the premium-waiver benefit?

It's the feature that sets child plans apart. If the parent (the person paying) passes away during the term, the insurer waives all remaining premiums, and the plan continues and pays out in full at maturity as planned. The child's goal stays funded even though the premiums stop.

When should I start a child plan?

As early as you can. Education costs rise every year, and the more years the plan runs, the more compounding and bonuses work in your favour. Even a small premium started when your child is very young can outperform a larger premium started later.

How much should I aim to save?

Estimate the annual course fee today, allow for education inflation of roughly 8–10% a year until your child starts, and multiply across the course length. The calculator at the top of this page gives a quick figure — then we'll refine it together.

Can grandparents buy a plan for a grandchild?

In many plans, yes — a grandparent or guardian can be the proposer. The exact rules depend on the plan, and I'll confirm what's possible for your situation.

What if I miss a premium?

There's a grace period to pay without losing cover, and lapsed plans can usually be revived within a few years. I'll set up reminders so it rarely comes to that.

Are the premiums tax-deductible?

Yes. Premiums qualify under Section 80C up to ₹1.5 lakh a year, and the payout is generally tax-free under Section 10(10D), subject to conditions. Tax rules can change over time.
