Life's a drag...but your LIC policy can pull you through (with a loan, of course)!
Let's face it, life throws curveballs like nobody's business. Car needs fixing? Roof sprung a leak? Emergency mimosa fund running low? Don't despair, dear reader, for you hold the key to financial salvation (or at least a temporary fix) - your LIC policy!
How To Get Loan Through Lic Policy |
But wait, how does this magic trick work?
Fear not, for I, your friendly neighborhood financial wizard (emphasis on "friendly," not actual wizardry - please don't send owls), will unveil the secrets of the LIC loan.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.![]()
Here's the gist: You can borrow money against the value of your LIC policy, essentially using it as collateral. It's like your policy is saying, "Hey, I got your back...with interest!"

Now, before you go all "loan ranger" on us, there are a few things to keep in mind:
- Not all policies are created equal: Check your policy document or contact your LIC agent to see if your policy is eligible for a loan.
- Loan me, Loan me not: There's a limit to how much you can borrow, typically around 90% of the Surrender Value (that's the cool term for the cash you'd get if you surrendered your policy).
- Interest-ing times: You'll be charged interest on the loan, so make sure you have a plan to repay it. Don't be like that friend who borrows your favorite sweater and "accidentally" throws it in the dryer (we all know who you are, Kevin).
Alright, alright, enough with the metaphors, how do I get this loan?
There are two ways to apply for an LIC loan:
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.![]()
- Channel your inner techie: If you're a registered user on the LIC portal, you can apply online. It's like online shopping, but for money (hopefully, you're better at managing this kind of shopping).
- The old-fashioned way: Visit your nearest LIC branch and fill out a physical application form. Just remember, pens and paper are not magical, so write neatly!
So, is an LIC loan the answer to all your financial woes?
Probably not. But it can be a helpful tool in a pinch. Just remember to borrow responsibly and always prioritize repaying your loan. After all, you don't want your LIC policy to turn into a financial burden instead of a safety net.
