So, You Borrowed from Your LIC Policy... Now What?
We've all been there, folks. Faced with an unexpected expense, staring longingly at that shiny new gadget, or simply needing a little financial nudge. And what beckons like a siren song? That handy loan against your LIC policy, of course! But now, the good times are (hopefully) over, and it's payback time. Don't fret, fellow borrower, for I, your friendly neighborhood financial guru (with a dash of humor), am here to guide you through the repayment maze.
How To Repay Loan Against Lic Policy |
Facing the Facts: Repayment Options You Should Know
Here's the deal: you've got a few options when it comes to settling your LIC loan. Choose wisely, grasshopper, for each path has its own quirks and perks:
Tip: Skim once, study twice.![]()
-
The "Full Monty": This is the straightforward approach - repay the entire loan amount along with the accrued interest in one go. Feels good, right? Like finally conquering that mountain of laundry. But hey, be sure you have the funds for this option, or you might end up feeling like you just climbed Everest in flip-flops.
-
The "Interest Only" Cha-Cha: This option allows you to pay only the interest on the loan periodically, typically every year. Think of it as keeping the loan monster at bay while you gather your forces (read: money) for a full-fledged attack. However, remember, the loan amount itself won't decrease with just interest payments, so eventually, you'll need to face the music (and repay the principal).
-
The "Hybrid Hustle": This is where things get interesting. You can pay off the interest regularly like in the "Interest Only" option, but also make additional payments towards the principal amount whenever you have some extra cash. This is like slowly chipping away at that mountain of laundry, one sock at a time. It might take longer, but hey, at least you're making progress!
Remember: No matter which option you choose, don't miss those payments! LIC, unlike your forgiving roommate, frowns upon delinquencies and might take unsavory actions like, oh I don't know, canceling your policy altogether.
