Hi Mukesh, I've taken a LIC policy without any problems and without any additional premium. I've clearly mentioned that I'm visually handicapped and submitted my disability certificate along with the application.
So, there is no provision which debars a blind person from taking a LIC policy. One of our friends on the list, Mr. Amilesh Kumar, who is working as an administrative officer in LIC will be able to help us with the exact details. -- G.
