LIC Jeevan Labh 836 Loan Calculator

Note that LIC uses the reducing balance method to estimate the interest payable. This method takes into consideration the outstanding principal loan amount (instead of the entire principal amount) to calculate the interest. This is because you have already paid a proportion of the principal in the form of premiums. As you pay your EMIs, the outstanding loan amount decreases along with the interest payable in this method. 

As discussed above, the loan amount has to be within the defined maximum limit set by LIC. It is 90% of the surrender value in the case of in-force policies and 80% in the case of paid-up policies. Further, the interest rate on the loan availed varies from person to person and is compounded half-yearly. 

Sample LIC Jeevan Labh 836 Loan Calculation
