LIC relaunched its special revival campaign

After getting the huge response to its earlier launched Special Revival Campaign from 01/09/2015 to 31/10/2015 which was later extended up to 30/11/2015, LIC of India the state owned insurer again launched it’s Revival campaign from 01/01/2016 to 29/02/2016. In this revival campaign Life Insurance Corporation of India provided some concession in late fee and evidence of health while reviving the policy within this period. It is a very good initiative by Life Insurance corporation of India (LIC).

Concession in late fee during revival campaign

The basis for allowing concession in late fee will be the total receivable premium under the policy, as indicated below during this revival campaign.

1. Concession in late fee will be allowed only for policies where policyholder pays all arrears of premium with interest and revival requirements if any, up to the date of revival.
2. Concession in late fee will be allowed for all types of revival including SB-cum-Revival, Loan–cum-Revival, and Instalment Revival.
3. Concession in late fee will not be allowed to policies which were revived during the campaigns for revival of lapsed policy in 2013 and two campaigns in 2014, where concession in late fee was granted.
4. Concession in late fee will also be allowed under policies where no evidence of health will be required i.e spot revival.
5. Late fee concession will also be allowed where the arrears of premium for revival is in policy deposit and adjustment of the same is done during the campaign period after receipt of revival requirements.
6. Under some plans like plan 91, 128, 174, 179 wherein the policyholder can pay one or two instalments of premium with interest instead of paying all arrears of premium, concession in late fee will not be allowed for such part payment. Needless to add that if all arrears of premiums with interest are paid during campaign period, then concession in late fee will be allowed as per rule.
7. For plan 903 and 904 : Waiver of interest of 20% subject to maximum of Rs.1500 under LIC’s Jeevan Arogya plan 903 and 904.
