Loan Against LIC Policy

Loan Against LIC Policy

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) offers its policyholders the opportunity to avail loans against select insurance policies directly from the corporation itself. When availing such a loan, the policyholder’s policy is held by LIC as collateral until the loan is fully repaid. The policies eligible for such loans include endowment plans, whole life plans, money back plans, and pension plans. The maximum loan amount sanctioned can be up to 90% of the policy's surrender value (up to 85% in the case of paid-up policies), including the cash value of bonuses. The interest on the loan is payable on a half-yearly basis, with a minimum loan tenure of six months from the date of disbursement.

Key Features of Loan Against LIC Policy

Loan Amount: Up to 90% of the surrender value of the policy.

Interest Rates: These are policy-specific and announced annually by LIC.

Minimum Tenure: 6 months from the date of loan disbursement.

Maximum Tenure: As per the policy tenure.

Repayment: Interest is payable on a half-yearly basis; the principal can be repaid based on the policyholder’s financial situation.

Alternatives to Loans Against LIC Policy

While availing a loan against an LIC policy can be a viable option, it is important to consider other secured loan alternatives to avoid jeopardizing the financial security provided by the life insurance policy. Here are some alternatives:
