LIC Return & Refund Policy

Return Policy

An LIC policy can be resigned after three years of premium payments, it has surrender value approximately 30 percentage of the total sum paid.

This figure does not include the first year or those bases with accidental benefits inclusions. The surrender value depends with the total premiums paid up to that time before the policy holder decides to surrender after less incidental benefits coverage premiums and first-year premiums.

The surrender value does not take into consideration extra charges for bonus, taxes, or other riders. In the event that the policy expires before the expiry of the grace period, the grace period has to be added to the policy then the policyholder has two years to renew the policy.

The option for payment is available through Debit cards, Net banking, wallets, UPI with additional convenience charge for Credit Card payments.

The policyholder can also pay with a NACH mode where the policyholder fills a mandate with the bank, and the policyholderโ€™s account will be debited every time the premium is due.

Surrender value depends on surrender processing time under the LICpolicy.

There are two kinds of surrenders that are possible:

Value of Guaranteed Surrender (GSV)

Policyholder can opt for termination of coverage under the guaranteed surrender value after the period of three years with a proviso that he pays minimum three yearsโ€™ premium amount.

This is often higher than the amount promised when one is willing to give it up easily or surrender it.
