A prevalent misunderstanding regarding LIC is that it primarily serves as a safety net for accidental death. However, it is more accurately viewed as a superior investment strategy. In terms of returns and overall benefits, it stands out as a more advantageous investment choice. Many individuals perceive LIC’s plans as costly and unaffordable, but this is a misconception.
