IDBI Federal unveils plan
PANJIM: IDBI Federal Life Insurance has launched its Childsurance Savings Protection Insurance Plan. IDBI Federal Childsurance Savings Protection Insurance Plan helps build savings to fund child’s important milestones even in case of any unforeseen event.
The highlight of Childsurance Savings is the guaranteed annual payouts in the last 3 or last 5 years of the policy, depending on the policy term. These payouts fund the important milestones in the child’s life. The parent has the option to choose how much money he would want as guaranteed annual payouts and thus ensure that there is always enough to fuel his child’s dreams. This plan is a participating plan and offers bonuses to the customer to be paid out at maturity. Childsurance Savings Protection plan gives guaranteed annual payouts either in the last 3 or the last 5 years of the policy, depending on the policy term that one chooses. The plan participates in the profits of the company’s participating policyholders’ life fund by way of bonuses. These bonuses are paid out as a lump sum along with the last guaranteed annual payout.
The core benefit of this plan is the death benefit. Upon the death of the life insured, say the parent, the plan triggers 3 benefits – (i) death sum assured is paid at the time of death, (ii) future premiums are waived off, (iii) the plan continues as usual. This means that whether the parent is around or not, this plan will ensure that the child gets the guaranteed annual payouts and the bonuses as planned, to fulfil his dreams.
