Speaking at the launch of a satellite branch here yesterday, LIC Thanjavur divisional manager K Rajivan Nair said the division, which had 27 branches spread over eight revenue districts and Union Territory of Puducherry, settled 48,181 maturity and survival benefit claims, disbursing Rs 91.93 crore and 3,404 death claims to the tune of Rs 113.67 crore.
