Child plans, in simple terms, are insurance policies that help take care of any future needs related to a child, including education and wedding. These plans come with the dual benefit of investment and insurance, and generally provide payouts that is at least 10 times the total premium paid during the policy period. Such plans are best for individuals who want to save for their children but are averse to investing in the equity market directly.
