LIC alert! Good news for these policyholders - Big relief from insurance behemoth

It is a piece of good news for these LIC policyholders! In a big relief from LIC to its policyholders, the insurance behemoth has confirmed that to encourage the continuation of risk cover in this difficult period, it will provide an opportunity for its policyholders to revive their lapsed policies. LIC has decided to launch a special revival campaign from August 10 till October 9 for its customers to revive their individual lapsed LIC policies.

"In view of the prevailing circumstances, no concessions are being offered in medical requirements and the same are limited to late fee only; under plans other than term assurance and other high-risk plans," LIC said in a statement.

Special Revival Campaign: What it is? How does it work?

- Under this Special Revival Campaign, it said, policies of specific eligible plans can be revived within five years from the date of the first unpaid premium subject to certain terms and conditions.

- The policyholders will get 20 per cent late fee concession for revival while 25 per cent concession between Rs 1 lakh and Rs 3 lakh, it added.

- Policies which are in lapsed condition during the premium paying term and not completed policy term as on the date of revival are eligible to be revived in this campaign, it said.

Special Revival Campaign: Benefits?

-The campaign will benefit those policy holders who were not able to pay premiums due to unavoidable circumstances and their policy lapsed.

- It always makes better sense to revive an old policy to restore insurance cover and LIC values its policyholders and their desire to continue their life insurance cover, LIC said.
