Max New York Life College Plan
Max New York Life College Plan is a Guaranteed Return Plan; in fact it is a Traditional Money Back Child Plan such that the life of the child is insured.
The premium needs to be paid till the child is 18 years of age. Then the policy rights are transferred to the child and he starts to receive the Survival Benefits till the policy matures when he is 21 years old.
If the parent dies within the policy tenure, the premiums need to be continued since the life of the child is insured. However, if the Payor Rider has been opted for and the payor, i.e. the parent meets with death or total and permanent disability within the policy tenure, then the future premiums are paid by the insurance company.
But if the child meets with death before he is 7 years old, then only the premiums paid till date are returned. If the child dies after he is 7 years old, Sum Assured plus accrued Reversionary Bonus plus Terminal Bonus, if any, would be paid and the policy would be terminated.
