Why the need for a simple pension plan On the
instructions of the insurance regulator IRDA, insurance companies have started offering a simple insurance policy from January 1. In this, the name and condition are one so that consumers do not have trouble in the election. Insurance companies sell pension plans under different names like insurance policies and claim to be the best. It is very difficult for consumers to choose among them and such products are also sold by pretending to have similar names. In view of this, Irda has asked to introduce a simple pension plan with one-of-a-kind conditions and facilities.
