LIC has NEFT as the payment option for their policyholders from the last few years. The procedure for a policy owner is to download LIC NEFT form, fill and submit it at a nearest LIC office for claims and getting maturity payments. LIC then deposits the survival/death benefit to the bank account of the policy owner through online transfer (NEFT). It was a well-working system until the recent COVID outbreak in India. Now with the lockdown and limited office timing, the company has finally come up with online registration for LIC NEFT details.

Those who have already given their NEFT details at LIC branch need not repeat this process. You can opt for this online method if your LIC policy is reaching its maturity in the coming months or you are expecting a payment. Unlike the offline model, you don’t need to wait 15 days for submitting the LIC NEFT form online. It merely requires you sign-up for a LIC web account with your policy details. Let’s go through the procedure for LIC NEFT online registration.

Example for lic survival benefit credit after submitting NEFT mandate form
You don’t need to worry about the payments if you complete the NEFT requirements, If I say it from my experience. You will get thee survival benefit/ maturity payments on time; I got mine, twice.
It takes a few days for LIC to cross-check your documents and update bank details on your LIC policy. They will send you an SMS regarding your NEFT activation if the process is successful. Now if your bank details for LIC policy is accepted, all your payments will be directly transferred to the given account, as shown above, on the correct date.
Alternative: Download LIC NEFT form and submit bank details offline

You need to reach the nearest LIC office or a policy servicing branch to make any modifications to the existing information. If the online method doesn’t work for you or if you want to update to your existing bank details, try submitting the NEFT mandate form in the offline mode.

Thanks a lot sir for sharing above details I followed the same process. I can see the request ID generated however status of the request is showing as “initiated” for last 3-4 months. When i wrote email to branch then they responded that submit the documents in the branch. Not sure if that is needed while i submitted my request online. Any idea or heard any such experiences before? Would be really helpful to have your guidance.
