Child Education Plans from HDFC Life

by Aaron Finch

It is a fact that children grow up faster than we realize and, therefore, start making decisions about their lives at an early age. This Fabulous Story makes it all the more important to make informed decisions about their future and take care of them.

HDFC Life understands the importance of your child’s education and has designed a range of child education plans to suit all requirements and budgets.

Choice gives you the flexibility to make the right decision for your child’s future as per your needs and aspirations.

The investment for your child’s education will be locked in for the chosen tenure and, hence, there are no chances of the child’s assets being locked in if they are still studying.

The plan will mature early upon completion of education qualification, but can be extended to finance higher studies or professional education such as a post-graduation, MS etc

The maturity amount can also be used to take care of other contingencies such as marriage, housing and emergencies.

HDFC Life offers flexible plans to ensure that you get value for your money and save tax efficiently :

1. HDFC Life Choice Child Education Plan : 

This plan provides a lump sum payment at the end of the selected tenure. The plan can be extended to finance higher studies or professional education such as a post-graduation, MS etc. The maturity amount can also be used to take care of other contingencies such as marriage, housing and emergencies.

2. HDFC Life Child Education Plan + Flexi :

HDFC Life has launched a structured settlement in partnership with Canada Pension Plan Investment Board’s Custodian Trust Corporation (CTC) – an independent trust company dedicated solely to managing structured settlements across Canada.

Structured settlements are the most trusted and reliable solution to provide long-term income to those who suffer from chronic conditions and those dependent on a parent or family member’s income.

This is HDFC Life’s first structured settlement product which allows policyholders to receive a stream of monthly payments for a specified period of time. The amount of each individual monthly payment is known at the outset with no surprises as it depends only on the life expectancy of the insured.

With a structured settlement, an individual can design their own retirement plan by purchasing a plan that keeps their money safe and lets them live comfortably in their old age while supporting any needs of dependents.
