The total number of policies was over 5.44 lakh. The cumulative lives covered were 10,04,525, while the premium was Rs 395 crore. Jeevan Arogya policy alone had brought the first premium of Rs 63 crore within seven months of its launch. LIC had already sold 1.84 lakh policies of Jeevan Arogya so far.
To give a fillip to sales, effort is on to market health insurance to its own employees and agents in addition to others.

LIC is also hoping to take advantage of the increasing customer preference for benefit plans.
