Worried about funds! You can easily take cheap loan from LIC against your policy

In the Corona era, people are looking at different options to raise funds. In such a situation, you can get a lot of relief knowing that you can get a loan against your policy in Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). Not only this, this loan is easily available and at a low interest rate.




Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) gives personal loan against its insurance plans. This loan can be taken for expenses like travel, higher education, medical emergency, wedding, home repairs etc. It is a secured loan against policy where your insurance policy is kept as security. If the applicant is unable to repay the loan, LIC can reimburse the same from the maturity of the insurance policy or the claim amount.

You can find out how much loan you are eligible for through LIC’s e-services. It is a secured loan as your policy documents are kept as collateral in this. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, LIC deducts the money from his maturity or claim amount.

The minimum tenure of the loan is 6 months, but it can be repaid till the entire maturity period. Not only this, LIC also gives the facility that you just keep paying the interest and get the principal amount deducted from the maturity amount later. It is available only on endowment plans, income plans and unit linked plans that have a surrender value. It is not available on term plans. For example, this loan is available on LIC’s New Jeevan Anand, Jeevan Rakshak, Jeevan Lakshya, Jeevan Pragati, Jeevan Labh etc. plans.
