Child insurance is one such option that helps you in planning and securing your child future at any time. There are a number of insurance companies offering policies to suit your child's growing needs. Child insurance is a great option because taking out a small amount of premium from your monthly or annual income will not affect your other needs, and you won't even come to know how conveniently you collected a pool of money for your child's benefit.
Some policies provide a guaranteed amount of lump sum money at the end of the policy tenure. They are commonly known as child endowment policies. Similarly, child money back policies work like an income plan where at periodic intervals guaranteed or non-guaranteed amount of money is paid to the insurance holder to help him meet various demands like admission fees, coaching classes, etc. from time-to-time. These days Unit Linked Insurance Plan (ULIP) has become popular. They are high-risk and high-return plans normally taken for a long tenure.
