  9. I have taken a Varistha Policy for my wife. When I approached LIC for a second Varistha policy in my name, I was refused. I was told that “there is a circular” which effectively says that the Varistha policy is limited to only one policy per family. However, I cannot find anything that confirms this. And subscription to Varistha is only upto 14 August. Is any clarification available?
