Why Only LIC?
Reasons Why People Choose Only LIC Policies
Trust and Legacy
LIC has been in operation since 1956, and many people trust it as a government-backed insurer.
Older generations often recommend LIC due to its reputation for reliability.
Guaranteed Returns
LIC policies generally provide guaranteed payouts (for example, in money-back and endowment plans).
Although returns may be lower compared to market-linked investments, they are safer.
Wide Range of Policies
LIC offers policies tailored to different needs—like term insurance, endowment plans, pension plans, and children's plans.
This makes it a one-stop solution for people who want life cover, savings, and future financial planning all in one.
Government Ownership and Safety
LIC is owned by the Government of India, which makes customers feel secure about their investment.
People view it as more stable compared to private insurers, which could close down or merge.
Tax Benefits
LIC premiums qualify for tax deductions under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act.
Payouts, in many cases, are also tax-exempt under Section 10(10D), making it attractive for salaried individuals.
Simple and Traditional Products
LIC policies are generally easy to understand compared to ULIPs or other market-linked products.
Many prefer these policies since they come with low risks and predictable outcomes.
Agent Network and Easy Access
LIC has one of the largest agent networks in India, making it easier for people to buy and maintain policies.
Agents also provide doorstep service and personalized advice, which many prefer over online-only services.
Policy Loans and Surrender Options
Many LIC policies allow you to take a loan against them after a few years, adding liquidity.
Even if you surrender the policy, you get some return on your investment, unlike some pure term plans from other providers.
