Frequently asked questions

What documents are required to support the loan application?

You need your original LIC policy bond, PAN, Officially Valid Document, cancelled cheque or bank passbook copy, and any assignment deed if applicable. Ensure all copies are self-attested and match the details provided in your application form to avoid delays.

Can I submit the form online or must I visit a branch?

LIC primarily accepts loan application forms through its branch offices. In some cases, you may download the form online, fill it, and submit it physically. Certain digital services are available via LIC’s online portal, but complete online loan processing is limited.

What’s the typical processing time for LIC policy loans?

Once you submit the form and documents, verification usually takes a few hours, followed by loan value calculation. Approval and disbursement generally might take up to several hours, so the full process can take 24-48 hours* in total.

What happens if I miss an interest payment?

If you miss an interest payment, LIC adds the unpaid interest to your outstanding loan amount. Over time, this increases your total liability. If the combined loan and interest exceed the policy’s surrender value, the policy may be foreclosed to recover dues.
