It is fake news online processing of maturity is not being done on LIC website.
Hello Shyam, Many of the our readers has did this and claimed too. They personally sent few queries before and after withdrawals too. Its not fake. Also if you are stuck at any point, let me know, I can further check. Just saying its fake news does not help to understand where is the real issue.
For online processing of maturity no link is available in LIC e-service portal. One of my policy is matured and I have surfed so many times but it is currently not available. I have also talked to customer care they have also refused for online processing of maturity. They have told that the original bond paper has to be submitted physically at LIC branch for maturity claim. Please check with LIC officials.
You have surfed so many times online, thats fine, but have you tried the options I have indicated in the article. If yes, is there any response through email from LIC?
They didn’t reply for email. In your article , link for online maturity process is not mentioned and I once again confirm to you that it is not being done through lic portal.
Hello Sir,
First of all, hope you and your family are doing well.
My questions is,
Is LIC policy surrender possible via online ?
Thanks.
Hello Jalpesh, Out of two options, as per my knowledge option, surrender is not possible via online portal. However, you can check the email route where you need to submit necessary policy document + surrender form No. 5074/3510 to the LIC email ID we have provided for LIC email services. Let me know whether that worked for you on this thread so that others would also get benefited with such info.
OK. Thank you sir for your reply.
I’ll try to check and let you know if anything works.
