To achieve this objective, a well structured questionnaire was designed on 5-point Likert scale and responses of 240 LIC policyholders were obtained and analyzed by applying counts, percentages, means, grand means and ANOVA. The study reveals that the customers are only satisfied with employee-customer relations. The company is not in regular touch with their customers. The company officials take much care of the customers belonging to higher income category. In case of employee-customer relationship, businessmen and private sector employees are more satisfied with the LIC executives than public sector employees and professionals.
