LIC has been one of the biggest policy makers in India .During their last 40 years they have come up with one of the most reliable and secure policies for their customers all round the globe.For me during the last few months LIC has been a big boonI had suffered for a bad fever around 105 degree and was admitted for a week or so in a hospital .The hospital charged a hefty of fees and during that time the mediclaim or health insurance from LIC turned out to be a boon.The hospital expenses were cleared .I would all recommend you to buy one such plan for your friends and family .Hoping for your best.
