Annuities help you fix up a regular flow of income for the rest of your life. You can invest today and ensure that you will get the same income all throughout your life, no matter what. If interest rates (of let us say Fixed Deposits) drop in future, you stand to gain as your annuity rates are locked. But if interest rates (of let us say Fixed Deposits) increase in future, you will feel you are locked-in to plan with low returns. So it is best to use this as one part of your retirement solution and not put all your savings into it.
Also, in case you have a pension plan from LIC, you can only withdraw ⅓ of it when it matures. You will have to buy an Annuity from LIC with the other ⅔ amount. So it is best to know the different options which you have.
