Life Got You Saying "LIC, Can I Borrow a Dime?"
Let's face it, life throws curveballs faster than a kid with a rogue dodgeball. Sometimes, you need a financial pick-me-up, and that's where your LIC policy (hopefully not your emergency stash of chocolate) comes in. But before you start picturing yourself swimming in a pool of rupees, hold your horses (or unicorns, whichever you prefer)!
This guide will be your hilarious (and hopefully informative) companion on the journey of borrowing against your LIC policy.
But First, Why Borrow Against Your LIC Policy?
Tip: Slow down when you hit important details.![]()
Maybe your car decided to impersonate a submarine, your pet goldfish needs a diamond-encrusted aquarium (don't judge, we all have our priorities!), or you simply need a little cash injection. Whatever the reason, borrowing against your LIC policy can be a viable option, as long as you remember it's not free money (although, wouldn't that be nice?).
Here's the TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read):
Reminder: Revisit older posts — they stay useful.![]()
- You can borrow up to 90% of the surrender value of your policy (the amount you'd get if you cashed it in).
- You'll have to pay interest on the loan, so don't borrow more than you can comfortably repay.
- Not all policies are eligible for loans, so check with LIC before getting your hopes up.

1. The "I Like Human Interaction" Method:
- Head to your nearest LIC branch. Don't forget your policy document and your most charming smile (it might help, maybe not).

2. The "I'm a Tech-Savvy Ninja" Method:
- If you're registered for LIC's e-Services, you can apply online.
- Log in to your account and check if your policy is eligible.
- Follow the on-screen instructions and pray to the internet gods for a smooth process.
Remember:
- Repaying the loan on time is crucial. Failing to do so could affect your policy and leave you with a financial headache (and possibly a visit from some very serious-looking people from LIC).
- Borrow responsibly. Don't get carried away and end up in a bigger financial mess than you started with.
There you have it, folks! Now you know how to borrow against your LIC policy in a way that's both informative and (hopefully) entertaining. Remember, borrowing is a tool, not a magic trick, so use it wisely!
P.S. If you happen to see a talking goldfish driving a diamond-encrusted car, that's probably not mine. Just sayin'.
