LIC Personal Loan is available at very low-interest rate, know how to apply

Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) is the largest reputed insurance company of India. It has several schemes and policies for the people. Those policyholders get different offers under the policies including a loan facility. If you have a LIC policy, you can easily take a personal loan. Its interest rate is much lower than that of government or private banks. LIC’s interest rate on personal loan starts from 9 percent.

Let us tell you, the interest of LIC’s personal loan is very less as compared to other banks. At present, its interest rate starts from 9 percent and the loan tenure is 5 years. The loan amount depends on the surrender value of the policy and can be availed up to 90%. Suppose if the surrender value of your policy is Rs 5 lakh, then you can get a loan of up to 4.5 lakh on it. Its biggest feature is that if you pay before the loan tenure, the charges are zero. This means that if a creditor wants to repay the loan amount before the stipulated period, he will not have to pay any separate charges. This is called the fee charged for premature termination.

LIC Personal Loan is available at 9% interest

The interest on the loan starts from 9 percent. However, what will be the interest rate on LIC personal loan, it will completely depend on the credit profile of the applicant. In this profile, the income of the creditor, the type of employment he does, what will be the loan amount and the repayment period of the loan will matter. The loan rate will depend on all these factors.

LIC Personal Loan interest will get deducted

The interest rate on the loan is calculated using the flat rate or flat balance method. In this, interest is charged on the principal amount of the loan. On the other hand, balance reduction method is used in which interest is charged on the outstanding amount of the loan. In this method, as the creditor repays the loan amount, interest accrues on the remaining loan amount as his principal amount decreases. Suppose you took a loan of 5 lakhs and gradually repaid it to 2 lakhs, then interest will be charged only on that 2 lakhs. The person taking the loan gets the benefit from the reduction method.

If the loan is taken for a tenure of 2 years, the EMI will be Rs 4,568. There will be an EMI of Rs 3,180 on the loan for 3 years. If the loan is taken for a tenure of 4 years, then the EMI of Rs 2,489 will be there. If the loan is taken for 5 years, then there will be an EMI of 2,076.

Similarly, if you have taken a personal loan of 5 lakhs, then the EMI of Rs 44,191 will be on the 1 year loan. The loan tenure of 2 years will have an EMI of 23,304. The EMI on the loan with tenure of 3 years will be Rs 18,472. Rs 12,917 on loan with EMI of Rs 15,000 for 4 years and tenure of 5 years.
