"On earlier occasions, Durbar members had been urged to fill in financial
documents stating 'housewife' as their professional status," he added.
"But we had not agreed to such a proposition. After all, we are fighting for legalising sex trade."
Chatterjee also informed that the State Cooperative Bank at Waterloo Street is one of the few city banks that have let Durbar members "take part in financial dealings in their own rights."
Under LIC's Jeevan Madhur policy, one can pay a weekly or a monthly premium of as little as Rs 25 and Rs 100, respectively. The premium has to be paid for a period of 5 to 10 years. The age limit for buying the policy
is 65. The maximum sum that can be assured is Rs 30,000.
"Like any other insurance policy, in its case too, the accident benefit will be double the sum assured," informed Chatterjee.
