The session Life Insurance Corporation Agents Organisation of India (LICAOI) held in Mangalore on Monday pointed out the benefits that need to be provided to women LIC agents.
Among the demands for women LIC agents included providing them provident fund, pension, health insurance, pensions and welfare schemes. Of the 1 lakh LIC agents in Karnataka, 40,000 are women.
The conference was organised to discuss issues of commission, unfair targets, and press for demands of benefits for women agents. SK Geetha of All India Insurance Employees Association (AIIEA) said the insurance bills that are being tabled in Parliament were significant for the insurance sector as they would allow higher foreign direct investment.
Gurudutt, Secretary, Udupi Sub division, AIIEA, said the strength of the LIC agents was growing stronger with the support of other workers unions.
