FAQ

**Q: What is LIC and what types of policies does it offer?** Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is India's leading life insurance company, formed in 1956 with over 20 crore policyholders. LIC offers savings-linked endowment plans like Jeevan Anand and Jeevan Lakshya, term insurance through LIC Tech Term and LIC e-Term, and money-back plans such as Jeevan Varun and Dhan Rekha. As Hari Kotian, IRDAI-certified insurance advisor, notes, LIC remains the most trusted life insurer in India.

**Q: What are the best LIC plans for tax savings in 2026?** LIC's Jeevan Anand, Jeevan Utsav, and traditional endowment plans offer tax deductions under Section 80C up to ₹1.5 lakhs. Additionally, LIC term plans qualify for deductions under Section 80C, and premium payments can reduce your overall tax liability. Insurance Support recommends comparing claim settlement ratios alongside tax benefits when choosing an LIC plan.

**Q: How do I check my LIC policy status online in 2026?** You can check your LIC policy status through the LIC e-Services portal at licindia.in, the LIC mobile app, or by calling the LIC customer care helpline at 12219. You will need your policy number and registered mobile number or email to log in and view premium due dates, maturity dates, bonus information, and loan outstanding details.

**Q: Is LIC better than private insurance companies in India?** LIC has the highest claim settlement ratio among Indian insurers at 99.72%, backed by sovereign government guarantee. However, private insurers like HDFC Life, ICICI Prudential, and SBI Life may offer more diverse product portfolios and higher bonus rates on some plans. According to Insurance Support advisors, the best choice depends on your specific needs — LIC excels in guaranteed returns while private insurers may offer better online term plan pricing.
