In some cases it is bound to have insurance i.e if you have bike / car or any other automated vehicle you mus have general insurance. In same way every individual has right to be insure and to protect their family from financial problem, but unfortunately it is not compulsory.


2) Right to Return Insurance Policy : - 
    You don't have to retain a life insurance policy you don't want. You have the right to return it whit in 15 days of receiving policy documents. This is called Free Look Up Period. This free look up period applies to all life insurance policies and health insurance policies with a term of 3 year and more. To return a policy, you need to submit an application. Most insurance companies have a form that can be downloaded from their respective websites or get from their branch office. Submit it yourself.

    If you buy/planning to buy an insurance plan then you have right to know how much commission will be earn by your insurance agent, fund distributor from this financial product.

How to Fill NACH Form in LIC ?

What is NACH : The National Payment Corporation of India (NPCI) has implemented an electronic payment service termed as National Automated Clearing House (NACH) for banks, financial institutions, corporate and  Govt. Department. 
NACH is a funds clearing platform set up by NPCI similar to the existing ECS of RBI.

Important Points
NACH has both Debit and Credit Variants and it aims at facilitating inter bank high volume debit/credit transactions, which are bulk and repetitive in nature.
The Primary move of NACH is to handle low value, high-volume transactions based on electronic files
Ideally implementing this mandate will allow transactions to be cleared n real-time mode rather than batch mode.
The NACH platform will have national footprint wich will cover 82000+ bank branches
The centralized ACH or NACH is expected to consolidate the current multiple ECS Systems and provide a framework for removal of local barriers/inhibitors and harmonization of standards and practice.

What is Difference between NACH And ECS ?
The prevalent Electronic Clearing Services (ECS) in India is available at around 89 centers in the country while it is operated by the RBI at 15 Centers, it is operated by commercial banks at the remaining centers. The ECS model lacks a standardized operating model users manual processes and has other inherent challenges such as inconsistent timelines around post transnational query management and servicing.
ECS NACH
1 Mandate verification is done based on physical resulting in verification issues and delayed timelines. A robust mandate management system that will include a standardized mandate format and a defined workflow for mandate verification.
2 No such concept of a unique mandate registration reference number.
Unique mandate registration reference number will be available, which will allow for better tracking.
3 Higher number of rejection observed on account of mandate related issues Provision to capture destination banks unique mandate registration in the transaction file resulting in lesser rejections.
4 Presentation and settlement is spread over 3-4 day period. Same day presentation and settlement including returns processing.
5 Dispute management is left to the discretion of the Destination Bank Well defined Dispute Management System electronic platform to raise and resolve issues, Oversight by the NPCI.

How-to-Fill-NACH-Form-in-LIC

How to Surrender an LIC Policy ??

Why we are thinking to surrender the policy while we take it to secure future from financial Problem or Unexpected other risk. Some time we take to save tax U/s.80C also.

REASON TO SURRENDER : 
There may be so many reasons to get it surrender. Might be you are not satisfy with the term & conditions or having some financial problem.
But before going to surrender your policy bond,  you need to check that does your policy has surrender values.

All endowment or money back insurance plans accrue a surrender value after certain (lock-in) period.
Generally insurance policies acquire surrender value completions of three years of your policy. This may varies than the amount of premium paid.
Remember Term Insurance / Health Insurance policies are pure protection plans and do not accrue any surrender value.
Once you have decided to surrender your policy, here is how you go.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS : -
I.   Original Policy Bond / Certificate
II.  Photocopy of last premium payment receipts
III. Photocopy of latest unit balance (in-case of market linked plan)
IV.  Application for surrender value or LIC SurrenderRequest Letter
VII. One Cancelled Cheques / Photocopy of Passbook (NEFT/RTGS Purposes)

All forms are self explanatory, fill all the forms accordingly and have some revenue stamps may require. With the above documents visit your home /servicing branch (office from where policy bond is issued). You can find it on your policy bond or on policy receipts. Only Policy holders can surrender the Policy Bond.
After verification all documents LIC officer will issue an Acknowledgement Receipts for the same. Surrendered process may take 15-20 days and the amount (Surrender Value) will be credited into your bank account directly.

POINTS TO REMEMBER : -
1. Surrender values are payable only after three full annual premium paid.
2. Surrender of policy is not recommended since the surrender value would always be proportionately low.
3. And When you decide again to go for an LIC Policy that would be with higher premium because of your    
    higher age .
