Postal Life Insurance policies offer policyholders the option to avail of loans against a percentage of the sum assured to finance urgent liquidity needs. In order for the loan to be approved, the life insurance policy has to be in force for a minimum of 3-4 years. Note that PLI policies can only be bought by Government, semi Government employees, and professionals.
The interest rate charged for loans taken against PLI schemes is 10% per annum. Some of the important factors to note with regards to the payment of interest are:
The policyholder has to pay the interest on a half-yearly basis at the prescribed rate.
The interest on loans against PLI policies is calculated on a on six monthly basis. This payment has to be done by the due date.
If it is not paid by the due date, the interest amount is added to the outstanding loan. The prescribed rate of interest shall ply on the total amount from then onwards.
If the insurant defaults thrice on the half-yearly interest payment, the insurer shall surrender the policy.
Consequently, the applicable surrender value shall be used to pay off the outstanding loan and the unpaid interest.
Once the policy is surrendered by the insurer after defaulting on payments, the benefits under the base postal life insurance policy shall stand void.
Keep in mind the following terms and conditions before applying for a loan against your PLI schemes.
To avail of loans against your PLI endowment assurance or Yugal Suraksha policies, a minimum of 3 policy years has to be completed.
Further, loans against PLI whole life policies and convertible whole life policies can only be availed on the completion of 4 policy years.
The maximum amount of loan admissible under PLI schemes is 90% of the surrender value. This condition is applicable only if the loan amount is not less than Rs. 1000.
You can apply for more than one loan on fulfilling prescribed criteria and is further subject to the discretion of the insurer.
