Life Insurance: The country’s largest insurance company LIC has made changes in many of its popular plans. Now the entry age in the New Endowment Plan has been reduced from 55 years to 50. The new changes are very harmful for older people. Apart from this, the premium has also been increased. LIC has implemented these rules from October 1, 2024.
