Special Revival Campaign for Lapsed policies – LIC – 2019-20
LIC of India has launched a limited period 63rd Anniversary Special Revival Campaign, to promote the revival of lapsed policies. You get ‘special discounts’ on interest to be paid and ‘health requirement concessions’ during this campaign period. The period of the campaign will be from 16/09/2019 to 15/11/2019.
How to calculate the amount required to revive your lapsed policy?
Life Insurance Policies get lapsed when the premium is not paid within the grace period. You may lose the valuable insurance coverage, once the policy has lapsed. To revive a lapsed policy, you will have to satisfy health requirements and pay the entire dues till
