LIC has partnered with two of India’s pioneering banks, Axis Bank and Corporation Bank, to make paying LIC premiums even easier for their customers. Customers of the LIC can also pay their policy premiums at Axis Bank or Corporation Bank branches.

LIC Online Payment Through Franchisee

To make premium payment easier for its consumers, LIC has worked with a variety of government and privately held service providers and enterprises. There are four service providers under Franchisee, which are as follows:

Selected people or agents have also been permitted by LIC to collect premiums for LIC policies. Agents at premium points, Senior Business Associates (Development Officers), and Retired Employees are all authorized to collect the premium. Here are some of the key points to remember when it comes to premium collecting through authorized agents:

The LIC portal will be used to pay a premium payment to Senior Business Associate.
For ULIP plans, premiums will be collected by authorized agents.
Premiums can be paid in cash or by check to any of these three authorized agents: SBAs, retired LIC personnel, and premium point collecting agents.
Authorized personnel who can collect premium payments include retired LIC staff. Premium payment updates are made in real-time and are also available for ULIP policies.

A policyholder can also pay his policy premium by downloading the LIC app to his/her smartphone. LIC Customer, LIC Pay Direct, and My LIC are three apps available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.

LIC Customer App: This software allows users to make payments using either the pay direct option or by registering. Payments are made in the same way as they are on the website.

LIC Pay Direct: By using the LIC Pay Direct app, the policyholder can pay his or her policy premium without registering. The app can also be used to download transaction statements.
