BSLI Classic Endowment Plan
BSLI Classic Child Plan from Birla Sun Life Insurance is a unit linked non-participating child plan, where the parent is the primary life insured and the child is the secondary life insured till the Savings Date, when the child becomes the primary life insured. This is a Double Benefit plan, where both the Sum Assured and the Fund Value is paid on death of the primary life insured.
The Premium Amount and the Savings Date, subject to child’s age between 18 to 27 years, are chosen and the Basic Sum Assured is calculated automatically. Thus, on the Savings Date, the child becomes the primary life insured and no further premium is paid. However the policy continues for another 20 years till the end of the policy tenure. If the parent dies before the Savings Date, the Sum Assured is paid to take care of the immediate expenses and the future premiums are paid by the insurer and the policy continues. On Savings Date, the child becomes the primary life insured and the Fund Value is paid out on the policy maturity.
