  very informative. No of deaths of employees and officers etc is 500 &  death of good number of agents has been mentioned.25000 policyholders of all life insurers are reported to have died of Covid  with majority of policyholders being insured with LIC. It is not known how many pensioners (including family pensioners) have died. I wonder whether LIC will be able to give the information if sought under RTI.
