LIC Insurance for NRIs: How It Generally Works
LIC offers policies to eligible Non-Resident Indians, and in many cases to OCI card holders, subject to its underwriting rules. The plans come from the same families resident Indians buy – term cover, savings-oriented plans, pension and annuity – but the process has a few extra steps because you live outside India.
Why NRIs look at LIC
Reasons vary. Some want rupee life cover because their family and loans are in India – a home loan on a flat in Kharadi or Wagholi, for example. Some want a long-term plan their parents or spouse in Pune can easily understand and deal with. Others plan to return to India and want a pension that fits that future. Understanding your reason first helps pick the right plan – see life insurance planning for the basic approach.
Documents that are commonly asked for
Exact requirements depend on the plan, your country of residence and LIC's current rules, but NRIs are usually asked for things like:
- Passport, and visa or residence permit for your current country
- Proof of overseas address
- PAN and other KYC documents as required
- A questionnaire on your residence, occupation and travel
- Medical reports, if required for your age, cover and health history
Some steps may be completed while you're visiting Pune, and some may be possible from abroad. This depends on LIC's current process, so we'll check it for your case before you start.
Paying premiums from abroad
Premiums for NRI policies are typically paid through Indian banking channels permitted for NRIs, such as NRE or NRO accounts, or other routes LIC accepts. Which account is used, and how payouts are made later, can have foreign exchange and tax implications. These rules change, so please confirm with LIC and a qualified tax professional for your country before deciding.
Tax and regulations: I'm not a tax advisor. Tax treatment of premiums and payouts depends on Indian rules, your country of residence and any tax treaty that applies. Please check current rules with LIC and a qualified CA or tax consultant.
Looking after parents in Pune
Some NRIs contact me for their parents rather than themselves – to review old policies their parents hold, to help with servicing or claim paperwork, or to discuss an annuity for regular income. Parents are welcome to meet at the office in Kharadi while you join by phone or video.
