Loans against LIC Policy
- 33 Comment
Introduction
In this article I will be writing about the loan against LIC policy. As I have explained in my previous articles about the different kind of loans and how to apply for it. Loans agaist LIC policy is one of the good idea to get loans for cheaper price. It involves many restrictions because you will not be eligible to get huge loans under this scheme even if you have the policy. I will explain the conditions involved in getting the loan against LIC policy. If you have any doubts please post it in the comments section. Please subscribe to our future articles here.
What is Cash Value for LIC policy?
In my previous article I have explained what is surrender value?. Cash Value is also referred as the Surrender Value of the polciy. Before applying for the loan you must know the exact cash value of the policy because if it is very low then there is no point in applting the loan if your need is huge amount.
Loan on LIC
The provision of loan against a life insurance policy is basically an advance against the cash value (surrender value) of the policy. The advance is always less than the case value. Most of the insureres approve 90% of the cash value of the policy. In case a loan is provided, the policy is absolutely assigned and held by the insurance company as security for repayment of the loan.
- You have to pay the interest specified in the loan.
- If you failed to pay the interest on time, that will be added to the principla and calculated the interest.
- If the total dept is more than the cash value, the insurer has the rights to terminate your policy.
- If the policy is matured before completing the loan, insurer has the rights to deduct the loan amount from your maturity amount.
Summary
I hope this article will be useful for the people who has the polciy with good surrender value and need of urgent loan. If you apply for personal loans, the interest rates will be very high. This scheme will be very helpful. Thank you for reading the article. If you have any doubts please post it in the comments section.

Hello bhavin,
Normally you will get the post dated cheque for the maturity amount. I am not sure about whether ECS is allowed. I would suggest you to check with your agent. I you could not please let me know. I will inquire about the matter and inform you.

Hello Mitesh,
Try to pay the loan and continue the policy. If you are not able to continue, then you have to surrender the policy. They will deduct the loan and amount and pay you the balance value.

Hello Asif,
I got these details from LIC site regarding the loans:
The Corporation can grant a loan to the policyholder against his policy as per the terms and conditions applicable to the policy. The requirements for granting a loan are as under :
a) Application for loan with an endorsement of terms and conditions of the loan being placed on the policy.
b) Policy to be assigned absolutely in favour of the Corporation
c) A receipt for the loan amount
The maximum loan amount available under the policy is 90% of the Surrender Value of the policy (85% in case of paid up policies) including cash value of bonus.
The rate of interest charged on loans is at 9% to be paid half-yearly.
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.
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 upto the date of maturity/death.Thanks,
