masses/
• More returns should .e pro4ided on Insuran#e plans/
As the .an+ pro4ides the Insuran#e fa#ilit& to its #ustomers/ It should pro4ide this fa#ilit& .&
tie up with the other Insuran#e organi>ations as well/ The main reason is that1 the entire
#ustomers do not want Insuran#e of onl& one #ompan&/ The& should ha4e #hoi#e while
