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 are the same family of plans 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
The reasons vary. Some want life cover denominated in rupees because their family and liabilities are in India. Some want a long-term savings plan that their parents or spouse in Mumbai can easily understand and deal with. Others plan to return to India eventually and want a pension plan that fits that future. Understanding your reason first helps pick the right plan, the same as for anyone else — see the life insurance planning page 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 requirements may be completed while you're visiting India, 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
Premium payment for NRI policies is typically made through Indian banking channels permitted for NRIs, such as NRE or NRO accounts, or other routes LIC accepts. The rules around which account can be used, and how payouts are made later, can have foreign exchange and tax implications. These are exactly the areas where 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 Powai
Some NRIs contact me for their parents rather than for themselves — to review old policies their parents hold, or to discuss an annuity for their parents' regular income. Parents are welcome to meet near Galleria, and you can join by phone or video.
