Child education planning is about creating a clear financial roadmap to secure your child’s academic future. With education inflation rising every year—whether in schools, professional courses, or higher studies abroad—parents need to start planning early. It ensures that when the time comes, finances are never a hurdle to their child’s dreams.
It’s not just about saving—it’s about investing smartly in the right instruments that can grow wealth, beat inflation, and sometimes even provide tax benefits.
