How much loan one can get

One can get a loan up to 90% of the surrender value of the LIC policy. The surrender value is calculated at the time of getting the loan, which is given by LIC itself, not by a third party. That's why the loan amount is cleared very quickly without any extra security. The policy document works as the security. Also, the applicant doesn't need to stop the policy for taking the loan.

Interest rate

At present, LIC charges 10 per cent interest on the loan against insurance policy. This is lower that rates charges on personal loans. Also, one doesn't have to worry about CIBIL score, or last loan record, for taking a loan against LIC policy.
