LIC Premium Payment Late Fee Calculator

What Is the Grace Period for LIC Policies?

From the first unpaid premium, LIC of India offers 30 days during which you can pay off the delayed amount. This is the grace period. For monthly premium payments, the grace period is limited to 15 days only. If you make the delayed premium payment during this period, you won’t be charged an extra fee. If, however, you cannot pay off the amount within this period, LIC will charge a late fee to revive the lapsed policy.

• If a policy is revived after 3 months 15 days to 4 months 14 days, the calculator considers this a delay of 4 months, and so on.

Sample Late Fee Calculation Using the LIC Premium Payment Late Fee Calculator

Say that you stopped paying premiums for your LIC policy on 5th July 2021 and want to revive it on 5th July 2022. Take the following example - 

• Premium payment mode - Monthly

• Monthly premium - Rs.10,000

• Lapse period - 1 year

• Interest rate - 9.5%

Therefore, 

• Number of installments pending - 13

• Total premium due - 13*10000 - Rs.1,30,000

• Late premium fee @9.5% - Rs.6,175

• Total revival amount - Rs.1,36,175

The LIC policy revival scheme should be studied in detail so your revival is smooth. Further, it is advisable to revive a policy as getting a new one will charge you higher premiums based on your age and health conditions.
