LIC New Jeevan Shanti is a blessing. I was quite worried about my post-retirement life. With no source of income and no one to depend upon, I was looking out for a solution. Then one of my colleagues told me about LIC’s New Jeevan Shanti plan. I called up Policybazaar to understand the plan more deeply. After having a talking session of about 1.15 hrs, I was convinced that this plan is the solution to all my worries. Mr. Naveen Mukjherjee
