Life insurance serves as a safe haven in modern life scenario. Moving ahead with life without life insurance is a challenging task in the risky environment of the present day world. Postal Life Insurance (PLI) is the oldest insurance scheme in India. The PLI scheme was introduced on 1st February 1884. In India, Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) is the largest insurance corporation offering diverse insurance products to the people. But Postal Life Insurance is functioning successfully in this sector by offering many best life insurance plans for the safe and secured life of the people. Various insurance plans of Life Insurance Corporation have become more popular due to huge publicity and advertisements but Postal Life Insurance has not reached the masses due to lack of wide commercial advertising campaigns. In this juncture, the study attempts to throw light on the various life insurance schemes of the PLI and intends to conduct a comparative evaluation of the different life insurance schemes offered by the India Post.
