LIC Pension plan allows you to spend your post retirement life worry-free. Having a good income allows you to live life comfortable as well as save for the future, but not always are you able to save enough that'd last all your life. Hence it is very important to find a steady source of cash to take care of your needs even after you retire.
Many times it is seen that people who are retired without a income are in a constant look out for jobs that could fulfil their day to day monetary needs. But only after a few years, the realization that being old doesn't make it easy to do regular jobs, making them feel helpless and cashless. The worry about the financial dependence in old age years strip them off their happiness.
A LIC pension Plan is a policy where you invest some amount monthly for a period of a fixed number of years, and you get a fixed amount of return every month as pension from LIC pension plan, till you die. Not only does the retirement plan help you get the income when you need it the most, but it also helps you save the income tax, today.
You work hard all your life to maintain your lifestyle and sustain. When you are in a job, the general expenses like daily household needs, medical expenses and travel take up most of your current salary and after retirement, without having a source that matches up to this, it is very difficult to manage day to day expenses.
By investing in a LIC pension plan, you become self-sufficient to take care of financial needs of the family after retirement. A LIC Retirement plan guarantees income on monthly basis, which, when calculated, is so much more than you could have accumulated by saving the same amount as your premium, every month.
The government employees and those who are eligible to pension from government after retirement might think that there is no need for them to get such plans, but that's something that almost every such person regrets. While government pension is sufficient to help you stay afloat, it is certainly not enough to compensate for the daily needs and inflation both, this additional amount could give you the financial freedom that you want in your old age.
Investing in a LIC Pension plan helps you to really retire and live your life as you lived while in the job.
There are many advantages of buying a LIC retirement plan, first being that it offers monthly income after you retire so that you can fulfil your daily needs, such as food, medication and other household expenses.

There are many retirement plans offered by different companies, but those who fall in the economically weaker section and live life hand to mouth are not able to afford most of such plans because they need huge investments over a number of years. For them, it is difficult to save for the future when they are barely able to sail through the present.

But with investment, a sure return is expected because losing that could mean destitution for their families.
