BSLI Bachat Child Insurance Plan
The Bachat Child Plan from Birla Sun Life Insurance is a traditional non-participating child plan, which means that the returns are guaranteed and there is no Bonus declared in this plan. This is an endowment plan where the parent is the Life Insured but the plan is for the benefit of the child. This plan does not cover the life of a child and it is meant for the security of the child’s future even if anything happens to the parent. In this plan if the Life Insured, i.e. the parent dies within the policy tenure, the child would receive the Sum Assured to address the immediate needs of the family. The future premiums would also be paid by the company such that the Maturity Benefit is paid out as and when it is due.
