If you are doing it for long term , go for Growth option , dividend option is not for some one who want to get regular dividends back from his money , for more details

Very True
Agents earn from selling the policy , so they will only tell you the best thing about the policy (if any). If there is no good thing , they will make them appear like a good thing . This is called mis-selling . Presenting something thing in a way which is not correct .

Thanks a lot for such analysis even on jeeva varsha etc. For commen men like me this is very useful more bcoz in simple words you tell us the good and bad parts of the policies. Otherwise, such policies like jeevan varsha looks so nice if u hear it especially from an LIC agents.
