The purpose of this booklet is to provide the employees a handy material which contains the basic features of the important employee benefits in a capsular form. The employee may refer to this booklet anytime and anywhere he pleases. There are some benefits which are not talked about. But these benefits exist.

While it is not possible to remember all the benefits, it is important that the employees become more aware of the total package of benefits that the organization has to offer.

This book will be of utmost use to the employees to make them assured that the Corporation is taking due care of them. They will probably be thrilled to find that the benefits available in LIC are much more than available elsewhere.
