Checking Your LIC Policy Online is a Good Option

Hence, to avoid these circumstances and to prevent your LIC policy from lapsing, you must keep a regular check on the status of your LIC policy. There was a time when you were required to visit LIC branches/offices or contact your agent to get any information on your policy. However, the times are changing; and with the changing time, LIC and its way of working and dealing with its customers have changed, too. These days, LIC offers online as well as mobile services to provide the latest information on the status of your policy.

How to Access your LIC Policy Status Online?

The new customers can start by filling in the registration form given on LIC’s official website. On this page, you have to provide details like your Date of Birth, Policy Number, your Premium Amount, and your Email Address (the one on which you want to get the notifications and alerts). Once you have entered these details and submitted the registration form, you will receive an automated email on your registered email address to complete the verification process. Once you are done with the verification, you can go ahead and check your policy status.
