All such questions are to be asked to the LIC manager. If they say that these are mandatory you can ask them the law they rely upon to demand such unnecessary requirements and then approach the divisional manager to intervene and grant you relief.

Guidelines could be accessed from the website of the Insurance Company. LIC's website does not reveal the necessity of any surety as being insisted.
You can take up the issue with the Insurance Ombudsman.
