Yes, you can get money from a lapsed LIC (Life Insurance Corporation of India) policy, but the amount you can receive depends on the type of policy you have and whether it has any accumulated cash value or surrender value. Here's what you need to know:
- No
Surrender Value: If your LIC policy is a term insurance policy or a
traditional participating policy that has not accumulated any cash value,
there is no money available to be received from the policy after it has
lapsed. In such cases, the policyholder does not get any money back, and
the life insurance coverage becomes void.
- Surrender
Value: If your lapsed LIC policy is a permanent life insurance policy
(e.g., whole life, endowment, or money-back policy), it may have a cash
value component. The cash value is the accumulated savings and investment
portion of the policy. If you decide to surrender the lapsed policy, you
can receive the surrender value, which is the amount available for payout
after deducting any applicable surrender charges. The surrender value is
usually lower than the total premiums paid, especially if the policy has
lapsed early in its term.
- Revival
of Lapsed Policy: In some cases, you may have the option to revive a
lapsed LIC policy within a specific period (usually two to three years) by
paying the outstanding premiums and any applicable interest. Reviving the
policy allows you to reinstate the life insurance coverage and continue
the policy as if it had never lapsed.
- Non-Forfeiture
Benefits: Some LIC policies offer non-forfeiture benefits, such as
reduced paid-up policy or extended term insurance, even if the policy has
lapsed due to non-payment of premiums. These benefits provide a reduced
coverage amount, but the policy remains in force without the need for
further premium payments.
To know the specific details of your lapsed LIC policy and
its surrender value or non-forfeiture options, contact your nearest LIC branch
or get in touch with your LIC agent. They can provide you with the necessary
information and guide you on the available options for handling the lapsed
policy. If you wish to explore the possibility of reviving the lapsed policy,
act promptly, as the revival period is limited and varies depending on the
policy type.
