      1. Manvendra singh says:

        Hello sir,maine abhi lic m 3 din phle hi insurence krvaya h.lekin ab m satishfey nahi h.kya m apna paisa vapas le skta h kya.

        1. Anuradha Singh says:

          Hello Mr. Singh, If you go through the policy wording of your policy, then you will come across a term called Free-Look Period. LIC’s every policy has a Free Look Period of 15 days. If the policyholder doesn’t like the policy, then the policy can be returned within 15 days of purchasing the policy. You will not get the entire premium amount back. There will be some deductions. Kindly contact LIC for this. Thank You

    Hello,

    Yesterday I have paid initial premium of Kotak Mahindra Premier Endowment plan through cheque. The cheque is still not encashed by Kotak. After enquiring about the policy I have understood that the policy has been missold to me. Now I want to come out of the process before the policy get issued. Can I stop the payment of the cheque to get out of the situation? If I stop the payment of the cheque, would I be in any legal problem?

    Regards,

    1. There wont be any issues. Just call your bank and tell them the cheque number and ask them to block it !

    Hi,

    I have paid an installment for Jeevan Anand 815 in December 2016.
    The next premium is in June. Though while starting the policy agent told that we cannot surrender before 3 years, but I don’t want to continue the policy and I want my money back.
    Can you suggest how to cancel the policy and get the amount that I have already paid?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. LIC policies cant be surrendered before 3 yrs. You will not get anything

      1. Sumit DUbey says:

        Hi, My case is similar. So, do we need to take some step to close the policy or it will be automatically closed if we stop paying further premiums? And does closing policy in such a way has any thing related to CIBIL rating?

        1. If you stop the premium, then you will get the money at maturity of policy. To get the money right now, you will have to surrender the policy by going to the branch !

  16. charles says:

    1. Unless you make payment for 3 yrs, you dont get any money back in this .

        HI Manish,

        Good MOrning!!

        I have taken a LIC policy 6 months back and i paid one half early premium. But now i feel not so worthy and unable to pay the premiums. Kindly let me know what happens if i stop paying premiums from now on instead of opting to cancel the policy.

        What will happen if user stops paying premium before initial 3 years of period.? Will it automatically gets cancelled?
        Do i need to go to LIC branch and cancel it?

        I know now, I am not going to get my money back if i cancel it before 3 years and also will get very less amount even if i surrender it after 3 years.

        Kindly clarify me on the above queries please.

        Thanks,
        Chaitanya

        1. Jagoinvestor Admin says:

          You cant cancel it before 3 yrs, if you dont pay for all 3 yrs , you dont get anything ..

          1. Sri Rama Chaitanya says:

            Thank you!! So Policy will automatically gets cancelled if we stop paying for all 3 years. Please confirm.

            1. Not cancelled, but it will be stopped ! . You will then get your money at maturity of policy !

          2. Chaitanya says:

            Hi Admin,

            Please confirm if policy gets automatically cancelled if we stop paying premiums nor go to LIC organization to surrender it?

            Please replay

            1. If you stop making payments of premiums, then it gets into paid up mode, in which case you will get your money on maturity.

              If you specifically want the money RIGHT NOW , then you need to visit the LIC branch and surrender it with a written request

    Hi,

    I have actually taken LIC Jeevan Anand Policy in the last week and I have paid just the 1st premium. However now i have made my mind to invest the same amount in the other policy and i want to withdraw my LIC application of Jeevan Anand.

    Kindly let me know the withdrawal process of my LIC Jeevan Anand policy.

    Regards,
    Kiran.

    1. Its suggested that you go to LIC office nearby and do the surrender asap.

    i have cancelled my pru guaranteed wealth protector Lp policy in 7 days after 1st premium. can i claim this policy amount for tax deduction purpose under 80C?

  27. Deepak says:

    Can someone please let me know is this applicable even to child plans ?

    1. Deepak says:

      Hello – I approached the branch manager on cancellation – its not even 7 days – he is asking me to get the agent to the branch! is this correct ? I have a question : If I want to surrender the policy or retrieve the maturity amount , is the agent required , this is weird stuff , If this is not true, please help me how this can be escalated and resolved .

    2. What is applicable ? PLease post full query here

      1. Deepak says:

        For the cancellation of the policy from LIC – the branch manager asked to fetch the agent and did not acknowledge the letter of cancellation – now is agent required in this case at all ? I am apprehensive that for maturity retrieval as well , they would mention the the same ?

        1. No agent is required here. Tell the manager that he should process it asap , if he does not want the complain with Insurance ombudsman and lose his job !

  28. Thank, Genoa & Ashal,

    I went to the branch with application on very next day after login, but they told that you have to wait till policy come and then after you can submit your cancellation application along with original policy document and payment receipt with in 15 days.
    Please advice…..

  29. Dear Manish, as you have just paid the first prem. & policy is yet to be assigned to you, please contact your serving branch immediately to cancel the proposal & return back your money.

    Thanks

    Ashal

  30. Genoa says:

    As per Sec 6 (2) of IRDA regulations, all life insurance companies offer 15 day free look period

    Take your original policy document(s), fill up some forms and you’ll get your money back

    Premium paid will be refunded after deductions for expenses like medical examination, cost of proportionate risk cover, stamp duty etc.
