New Delhi [India], September 18 (ANI): The Ministry of Finance on Monday approved a series of welfare measures for the benefit of Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) agents and employees according to a release from the Ministry.
The ministry decided to enhance the gratuity limit from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 5 lakh for LIC agents, aiming to bring substantial improvements to the working conditions and benefits of those individuals.
