Star Student Care Insurance
Objective
This is policy aims to cover school and college students against accidental mishaps.
Our View
Some personal accident policies have a provision to cover children if both parents are covered under the same policy. If your child is already covered under such a plan, there is no need to go for this policy. Personal accident policies offer coverage wider than this policy. Thus it is wiser to select personal accident policy over this. Before buying such a policy make sure the benefits fit your needs.
Suited for
This policy is suitable for school and college students.
What does it do?

In case of death or permanent disablement of earning parent, the insurer extends an Education Grant to the child upto the limit stated in policy document.
