The Children’s Deferred Endowment Assurance Plan At 21 from the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is an endowment policy that a parent/relative/legal guardian can purchase for a child. The policy provides a risk cover against death on the life of the child, after the date of deferment. This is a “with-profit” policy, thus the life assured will also be able to avail bonuses, in addition to the payouts provided by the plan. The proposer/policyholder/nominee can avail tax returns under the prevailing laws of Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961.
Sum Assured
The sum assured is the minimum amount of money that the insurance company is liable to pay to the policyholder/nominee. Keep in mind that what you may receive or what your nominee receives might be higher than this, since this amount does not take into account any bonuses or guaranteed additions. In the case of the Children’s Deferred Endowment Assurance Plan At 21, the proposer will have to work out and choose an optimum sum assured amount. The sum assured is linked to the premium charge. Thus, if you opt for a high sum assured, you will have to pay a high premium, and vice versa.
Premiums*
When an insurance policy is purchased, the policy buyer pays a premium to the insurance firm. One must make sure to pay the premium amount before the completion of the grace period in order to keep the insurance policy from lapsing. As per this policy, upon the life assured’s death, future premium payments may be waived off in case this benefit has been opted for at the time of purchasing the policy.

*Premiums vary based on age, location, plan term, sum assured, GST, and other factors.
Death Benefit | If the life assured, i.e., the child, passes away after the date of deferment, the entire sum assured amount with the addition of vested bonuses will be paid to the nominee in a lump sum amount. On the other hand, if the life assured passes away before the date of deferment, all premiums paid throughout the policy tenure will be refunded to the nominee. |
Maturity Benefit | At the completion of the policy tenure, provided all due premiums have been paid, the sum assured amount and the bonuses will be paid by the insurer to the policyholder. |
The insurer offers additional riders that can be purchased by the proposer, along with the base policy. While these riders are offered for an extra premium, they will provide a more enhanced coverage to the life assured.
Other Key Features
Surrender Value | This insurance policy can be surrendered provided it has been active for at least 3 years and all due premium have been paid for those 3 years. Upon surrendering the policy, the insurer will pay the life assured/proposer the Guaranteed Surrender Value or the Special Surrender Value, based on whichever is the higher of the two. |
Bonuses | This policy will start acquiring profits after the date of deferment. Profits will be offered in the form of a Simple Reversionary Bonus, which is declared per thousand of the sum assured amount for each fiscal year. |
The proposer is eligible to claim tax deductions under Section 80C and Section 10(10D) of the Income Tax Act, 1961. Tax benefits can be claimed for both premiums paid and benefits that one may receive, i.e., the death benefit. Tax laws may change without any prior notice, thus the policyholder must ensure to consult with a tax advisor to make the most of the tax benefits.
Your child’s financial needs will only increase with time. Buying a child insurance policy, like the Children’s Deferred Endowment Assurance Plan At 21, is a smart way to ensure that your child is provided a risk cover and a maturity benefit that can help meet his/her needs in the future.
