  1. Hi, I have bought this plan of LIC for both of my kids. Although the writer is of the view that no parent will wait for the child’s death which is totally illogical to conclude. I would recommend this plan to all the new parents. As you all are aware that during the first 5 years of child which have very high risk, India is having very high mortality rates and new diseases outbreak keep happening in oversaturated urban indian cities with poor healthcare facilities. Hence, one should always cover the risk, as every life in important.
