I clearly remember an incident, when I got a call in the night couple of years ago from my friend. He told me that he had met with an accident. I rushed to the place where the accident took place. My friend was good by the god’s grace, but his car was in really bad condition. The car was lying on its sides in the middle of the road (See the photo of the incident below).
We left the car there and went to the nearest police station to report the incident. Police arranged to shift the car from the middle of the road. My friend was confident that he will get repair expenses reimbursed through his car insurance policy. However, the surprise came in the morning when he consulted his insurance agent. The car insurance was only third party insurance, not the fully comprehensive insurance to cover all the losses. Finally, he ended up paying all the repair costs on is own.
Many of us do not check our policy status for years. Even we don’t know what are the conditions of our policy. Every time we depend on a reminder from the agent or company. But we always forget that insurance policy is issued in our name and will be beneficial for us or our loved ones. Therefore, we have to keep track of our insurance policy status. Many of us may not have visited the insurance company’s office even once. Even don’t know where is the branch of the insurance company? where your policy is being serviced?
Keeping track of your insurance policy is very important. Especially when they are very short term policies like your car insurance, motorcycle insurance, or fire insurance. If not renewed on time you may have to pay some additional amount to renew them. Moreover, in the case of an accident, you may not be able to claim the losses.

There are many other “WHYs” which I may not have listed here, but it is very important to go through your policy bond as soon as you receive one. If you have not received your policy document yet, consult your agent immediately or the concerned insurance office.

i took policy loan against my Endowment policy ( Fresh loan) on 20.1.2016 of amount 100000/- at 10% SI p.a. This financial year as it is evident LIC has lowered the Loan interest rate from 10% to 9.50%. Now I have to pay the interest at 10% or 9.50% ? Can I go to LIC office and claim that I shall pay the reduced Interest Rate against the loan I have taken from LIC? Pls clear my doubts. Thanks to you
Hi,
I am unable to find the policy status of my child which was last paid on May '15. Now I am 51 years of age & policy was taken when my son was 1 year old i.e. in 2004. I wd like to know whether the policy can be renewed under special revival scheme which ends in Feb '17. What are the requirements for the same. When I logged into my a/c with policy number & other details, it says incorrect information. Why is it so?
Please input the DOB, Premium and policy number as mentioned in the policy bond and try again. If you still getting an error, contact any LIC branch or LIC customer Zones.
