The premium of both is also different. To make the policy attractive, bonus has been included in it like an endowment policy. If you have taken this policy under Rural Postal Life Insurance, then on a sum assured of Rs 1000, you are given a bonus of Rs 48 every year. On taking under Postal Life Insurance, a bonus of Rs 52 is given every year.
Maximum two children benefit
Post Office Bal Jeevan Bima can be purchased by the parents of the children. The benefit of this scheme can be given to a maximum of two children. It can be purchased for children aged between 5 years to 20 years. Parents who want to buy this insurance plan for their children should not be more than 45 years of age.
Paid up policy after 5 years
After paying regular premiums for 5 years, this policy becomes a paid-up policy. After taking the scheme, the responsibility of paying the premium lies with the parents, but if they die before the maturity of the policy, the premium of the child is waived off. If the child dies, the nominee is paid the sum assured, along with a bonus.
Loan facility is not available
