How to Take Loan against LIC Policy?

Who is eligible?

Only the policyholder, who is holding LIC India policy for more than three years is eligible to avail loan.

How much loan could I take?

LIC Loan amount varies depending on the policy amount and time period of the policy. The eligible loan amount is calculated as 90% of LIC policy surrender value. The surrender value of LIC policy comes into effect only after you have paid three full year premiums for the policy.

Documents Required:

1- Original LIC Policy Document
2- Filled Loan Application Form (Form No 5196, Form No 5205, Form No 5200, Form 3516, Form No 5198 and Form 3599)

Some times they may send it through Post at policyholder request.

What is the minimum period for loan?

The minimum period for which a loan can be granted is six months from the date of its payment. If repayment of loan is desired within this period the interest for the minimum period of six months will have to be paid.

What happen in case of Policy Maturity/Death of Policyholder?

In case the policy becomes a claim either by maturity or death within six months from the date of loan interest will be charged only up-to the date of maturity/death.
If policyholder fails to pay interest in the course of the term of the insurance policy or early claim, the loan amount and interest, will be deducted from the claim amount and balance will be given to the claimant.

Can policyholder take more than one loan?

Yes, LIC India also offers the benefit to the customer of a second loan option, even if he fails to pay the interest on the existing loan, provided the insured policy value increases with the number of years.
You can avail this facility for their personal loan needs like children education, Marriage, House Building, Medical treatment etc. for low interest rate. But you does not even have to give the reason for the loan.
