New Delhi: When it comes to buying insurance plans, the Life Insurance Corporation of India, or LIC, is one of the most popular choices among Indians. As a result, the LIC has selected specialised strategies for a certain group of people. The government-backed organisation offers a wide range of insurance options for people of different ages and backgrounds. LIC policies are popular among Indians who prefer to invest in risk-free assets, and they are a favourite among them after bank FDs and post office savings plans due to their comparatively high returns.
