What is LIC Money Back Policy?

In laymen's terms, the money-back policy is a protection policy wherein an insured person gets a specific percentage of the sum assured at regular intervals rather than getting a lump sum amount upon maturity of the policy. Here is a quick lay down on some of the LIC money back plans for NRIs:
