Bal Jeevan Bima Scheme: A child’s birth makes the family happy, but it also causes the parents to consider the child’s upbringing, future costs, education, and marriage expenses. A substantial amount of money is required to fulfil these obligations. One finds it extremely difficult to support them solely on their monthly salary.
Financial Planning for Children’s Future
For this reason, astute parents choose to invest. Certain parents have a preference for risk-free and guaranteed return investments, like Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana (SSY), public provident fund (PPF), and fixed deposit (FD). Many parents chose Post Office schemes as investments because they are guaranteed returns and are not tied to the market. We are discussing the Post Office’s Bal Jeevan Bima Scheme. This programme, which is administered by Postal Life Insurance, was created especially for children. Upon maturity, the scheme offers a sum assured of up to Rs 3 lakh.
Post Office Child Life Insurance for Parents
Parents of children can purchase Post Office child life insurance. A maximum of two children may receive benefits under this scheme. Children between the ages of five and twenty can buy it. The age limit for parents who wish to purchase this insurance plan for their kids is 45 years old.
Sum Assured under Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI)
A policyholder under Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI) will receive a sum assured of up to Rs 1 lakh, while those under Postal Life Insurance may receive a sum assured of up to Rs 3 lakh. An endowment-style bonus has been added to this policy to make it more appealing. If you purchased this policy through Rural Postal Life Insurance, you will receive an annual bonus of Rs. 48 on the Rs. 1000 sum assured. On the other hand, an annual bonus of Rs 52 is provided under Postal Life Insurance.
Paid-Up Status after Five Years
This policy becomes paid-up after five years of regular premium payments. The premium for this plan must be paid by the parents, but if they pass away before the policy matures, the child’s premium is not charged. The nominee receives a bonus and the assured amount in the event that the child passes away.
Flexible Investment Options
This scheme allows for monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, and annual investments. Similar to all other policies, this scheme does not offer a loan facility. A medical examination is not required for children to use this policy. Still, it’s critical that the child maintains his or her health. One thing to bear in mind is that this scheme does not allow for the surrender of the policy.
