Kotak Child Edu Plan

Kotak Child Edu Plan is a Money Back Child Plan, which helps to pay for the cost of the child’s education throughout the policy tenure irrespective of the fact whether the parent.

In this plan, premium needs to be paid till the child is 17 years of age. However, the returns start before that. 15% of the Sum Assured is paid when the child is 15 years old, 20% of the Sum Assured is paid when the child is 17 years old and 30% of the Sum Assured is paid when the child is 19 years old. Another 60% of the Sum Assured + accrued Bonuses would be paid on Maturity of the policy, i.e. when the child is 21 years of age to assist higher education cost. Since the money is returned in a staggered but pre-decided form, this plan qualifies to be a Money Back Plan.

However, if the parent dies 200% of the Sum Assured would be paid in a lumpsum to take care of immediate expenses and future premiums are waived and paid by the insurer to ensure that the policy continues to pay the survival benefits for the child’s educational purposes. Accidental Disability Benefit is inbuilt with this plan.

Additional riders can also be opted for to enhance the protection level. Hence this is an overall protection plan to ensure that the child’s education costs are covered under all circumstances.
