Dear Rajesh Kumar,

Issue a Legal Notice and then file a civil suit for recovery at Delhi itself.

where did the cause of action arise.

Kumar Doab (Expert) 24 December 2015
The policy would have been underwritten and issued from your branch with which you are attached.

The commission is paid from branch with which you are attached.

Escalate the evidence to Chairman's cell and also involve LIC agents' unions/Trade unions.

Your issue is likely to be resolved.

Has the jurisdictional courts been stated in agency agreement?

You can very well file the case in New Delhi; I wonder what is the reason of your confusion when there is no ambiguity as afar as jurisdiction of court is concerned.

As mentioned in the agreement.

In Agent-Employee agreement, it is written that all disputes will be settled in Mumbai Court as the Head office of LIC is in Mumbai.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 03 January 2016
You can file a suit in Delhi itself, the jurisdiction clause what you mention may not be applicable to your case.
