The policyholder has to send back the “Discharge Form” duly completed and the original copy of the Policy Document. On receipt of these two documents, a postdated cheque is sent via post to the policyholder.
In cases of “Money Back Policies”,these documents are not asked for; provided the premiums under the policy are paid till the date of the anniversary.
For any other claim related query, the policyholder can visit or call the nearest branch office of LIC.
The procedure for settlement of maturity and death claims is as follows:
Maturity Claims
1) For endowment policies, the sum assured is payable at the end of the policy period. The branch that services the policy will send out a letter stating the date on which the policy proceeds are payable to the life assured. The individual is required to return the discharge form, fully completed, along with the policy document. On the receipt of these documents, a post-dated cheque is delivered by post so that it reaches the life assured before the due date.
2) Plans like money back policies make periodical payments to the life assured, provided premium are paid up to the anniversary due for survival benefit. In cases where the amount payable is Rs. 60,000 and below, cheques will be released without calling for the discharge receipt or policy document. However, for higher amounts, the insurance company will insist on these two.
Death Claims
In the event of the life assured’s demise, the branch office will ask for the following documents:
The following forms may be asked if death takes place within 3 years from the date of risk or from date of revival.
