It’s not a very popular policy among agents, as their commission in absolute terms is low because of the low-premium. Just as agents have their self interests in mind while selling, you need to make your own decision about your insurance needs, which are unique to your family.

But in the last one year, the allocation has been moderated from 78-79 per cent levels to 66-67 per cent of the portfolio.
