Dear Dev, 1 - Your existing Life insurance policy do not provide you with enough life cover. Consider buying a Term insurance plan with adequate life cover and a stand alone Personal Accident plan at the earliest. Once you buy a term plan, you may discontinue your money-back policy and invest the saved premium in mutual funds for your Kid's higher education and/or your Retirement goals.

Dear Dev, 1 - As your spouse is a non-earning member of your family, life insurance in her name is not required. You may discontinue it and instead can Super Top up your medical policy with that premium. Kindly read : https://www.relakhs.com/top-up-health-insurance-plans-super-top-up-india/ 2 - You may kindly continue with your contributions to PPF account. 3 - Regarding Kid's higher education, kindly go through below article and you may revert to me with your analysis.. https://www.relakhs.com/calculate-kids-education-goal-amount/
