Check LIC Policy status

Check LIC Policy status without registration by Mobile Phone or SMS

 

Many of LIC policyholders might be struggling to get their status. Because they feel it is cumbersome to visit LIC Office, contact agent or creating login to check on LIC Portal. But do you know we can check LIC Policy status without registration through Mobile Phone or SMS?

LIC Policy Status without registration

You can check your LIC Policy status by going online, registering your policy account details and all those. Because there is a possibility (in many cases) of forgetting the password or username itself. However, below I will explain you how to check your policy status without registration using your mobile phone or SMS facility.

What you need to avail these facilities?

1) Mobile phone (For calling or sending SMS) or Land phone (For calling).

2) You must know your policy number.

1) Check LIC Policy Status without registration by calling to LIC's IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System)–

LIC offers you IVRS calling. This you can use for getting your policy status without any manual intervention. As I said earlier, policy registration is not at all required for this.

For making a local call from any MTNL or BSNL number simply dial 1251 and for other than local users IVRS can be accessed by dialling the city STD code of the IVRS center followed by 1251.

When you call to this number, the only information you need to know is your policy number. You can check your policy status, loan availability, bonus accumulated and few more other policy status details.

I checked dialling 1251 from my BSNL landline and it worked fine and within a second I got the status of the policy which I need. However, when I tried to dial from my non-BSNL mobile phone (using the Bangalore area code of 080 followed by 1251), I found it was not working. I don't know what may be the reason.

 

This I felt a negative point of this facility. Because it worked fine from a landline but not from a mobile phone. Along with that LIC also claiming, "To know Policy details through IVRS, simply dial 1251 available 24×7 in the following cities." This means the 1251 policy status inquiry facility is not available for 24X7 for other cities. If yes, then LIC not provided any details about the timing for other than below listed city customers. Anyhow, this facility is available for 24X7 for below-mentioned cities.

Asansol, Allahabad, Aurangabad, Bareilly, Coimbatore, Dharwad, Gorakhpur, Gwalior, Hazaribagh, Jodhpur, Jammu, Kozhikode, Kota, Kolhapur, Meerut, Mysore, Nashik, Patna, Pondicherry, Rajkot, Ranchi, Salem, Surat, Shillong, Shimla, Thanjavur, Vadodara and Varanasi.

Here it is not clear whether the rest of the cities are not able to get this service 24X7 or not. Also, the cities mentioned particularly are not big cities. Hence, doubt also is there, whether apart from a metro and other big cities, this facility will be available for the above-listed cities or not.

Anyhow, I checked from Bangalore BSNL Landline and it is working perfect. Let me know some user experience with this.

2) Check LIC Policy status without registration through SMS-

You check your policy status by sending SMS. Here also you no need to register your policy number. Just from a mobile number you have to send SMS with predefined short and long codes. Below are the codes for the same.

PREM (Premium)-To check the premium due for your policy.

REV (Revival) -If a policy already lapsed, then to check the revival amount payable.

BONUS-Amount of bonus accumulated as of today.

LOAN-Amount of loan you can avail from your policy

NOM (Nomination) -To know the details of a nomination.

For example, to know the premium due for any particular policy, then send the SMS in below format.

ASKLIC <POLICY NO> PREM

To 56767877 (with short code) or 9222492224 (with long code).

I checked using a lapsed policy and I immediately received the message as "Contact Branch". Tthis is a great initiative :)

If you have a pension policy with LIC, then you can check the details of that policy as below.

STAT-IPP Policy status

ECDUE-Existence certificate due

ANNPD-Last pension released date

PDTHRU-Pension payment through (CHQ/ECS/NEFT)

AMOUNT-Pension amount

CHQRET-Cheque return information

For example, to know the IPP policy status, then send the SMS as below.

ASKLIC <STAT> STAT to 56767877

I felt SMS facility more convenient than the IVRS facility and want to know from all you about the user experience of these two facilities of LIC to check the policy status without registration.

How to Decide your asset allocation with Mutual Funds?

Invest In Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Download Tax Saving Mutual Fund Application Forms Buy Gold Mutual Funds Call 0 94 8300 8300 (India) How to Decide your asset allocation ? The funds that base their equity allocation on market valuation have given stable returns in the past. Pick these if you are a buy-and-forget investor. Small investors are often victims of greed and fear. When markets are rising, greed makes the small investor increase his exposure to stocks. And when stocks crash to low levels, fear makes him redeem his investments. But there are a few funds that avoid this risk by continuously changing the asset mix of their portfolios. Their allocation to equity is not based on the fund manager's outlook for the market, but on its valuations. Our top pick is the Franklin Templeton Dynamic PE Ratio Fund, a fund of funds that divides its corpus between two schemes from the same fund house-the...

Best SIP Funds Online   In order to make Employees' Provident Fund (EPF) accounts portable, the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) had launched the facility of Universal Account Number (UAN ) in 2014. Having a UAN is now mandatory if you have an EPF account and are contributing to it. So far, you got this number from your employer and every time you changed jobs, you had to furnish this number to the new employer.  However, in order to make it easier for you to get a UAN , and without your employer's intervention, the EPFO now allows you to go online and generate a UAN on your own.

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Debt Option

Reliance Regular Savings Fund - Invest Online     The scheme aims to generate optimal returns consistent with moderate levels of risk. It will invest atleast 65 per cent of its assets in debt instruments with maturity of more than 1 year and the rest in money market instruments (including cash or call money and reverse repo) and debentures with maturity of less than 1 year. The exposure in government securities will generally not exceed 50 percent of the assets. The fund uses a mix of relatively low portfolio duration with active investments in higher-yielding corporate bonds. It does not take aggressive duration calls but tries to improve returns by cherry-picking corporate bonds. This is reflected in the fund's returns matching the category and benchmark for five years - at 8.4 per cent - but lagging behind the category during a raging bull market in bonds in the last one year. The fund has been a consistent but not chart-topping performer in the income category. Despite its ...

Gifts to relatives will not attract tax

Tax Saving Mutual Funds Online Current open Infra Bond Application form Gifts are always special to the recipient and it would be extra-special if there is no tax payable on these. The taxman believes so, too. In the provision introduced in Section 56 of the Income Tax Act, if any sum of money is received gratis by an individual or Hindu Undivided Family (HUF) during any year, it shall not be taxable if from a relative. The law has already defined the term 'relative' and HUF. However a case that came up before the Income Tax Tribunal shows that some clarifications were still needed. Background The law also exempts gifts during special occasions like marriage of an individual or under a will or by way of inheritance and even in contemplation of death of the payer. Money received as grants or loans from educational institutions/universities, charitable trusts or similar institutions is also exempt. The term relative has been defined in the law to include spo...
