Module C: Formula & Methodology Behind the Calculations
The calculator uses LIC’s official methodology with these key components:
1. Surrender Value Calculation
For Jeevan Anand Plan 149, the Guaranteed Surrender Value (GSV) is calculated as:
GSV = (30% of total premiums paid) + (10% of sum assured × (premiums paid/policy term))
Example: For ₹10 lakh sum assured, 15-year term, ₹5 lakh premiums paid over 5 years:
GSV = (0.30 × 500,000) + (0.10 × 1,000,000 × (5/15)) = ₹150,000 + ₹33,333 = ₹183,333
2. Loan Eligibility
LIC allows loans up to 90% of surrender value for policies in force for ≥3 years:
Max Loan = 0.90 × Surrender Value
3. Interest Calculation
LIC charges simple interest on policy loans, compounded annually:
Monthly Interest = (Loan Amount × Annual Rate) / 12
Total Repayable = Loan Amount + (Monthly Interest × Months)

Module G: Interactive FAQ
If you fail to repay the policy loan, LIC will deduct the outstanding amount from your maturity proceeds or death claim. The interest continues to accrue until repayment. In extreme cases of prolonged non-payment, the policy may lapse if the outstanding loan plus interest exceeds the surrender value.
According to LIC’s policy conditions, the corporation has the right to recover the loan from any benefits payable under the policy.
Yes, you can prepay your LIC policy loan without any prepayment penalties. LIC allows partial or full prepayment at any time during the loan tenure. The interest is calculated only up to the date of prepayment.
Pro tip: Always get a loan statement before prepayment to confirm the exact outstanding amount including accrued interest.
LIC calculates interest on policy loans using the simple interest method, compounded annually. The formula is:
Total Interest = (Loan Amount × Rate × Time) / 100
Where:
- Rate = Annual interest rate (currently 10%)
- Time = Number of years
Example: For ₹5,00,000 loan at 10% for 3 years:
Total Interest = (500,000 × 10 × 3)/100 = ₹1,50,000
Total Repayable = ₹5,00,000 + ₹1,50,000 = ₹6,50,000
The interest paid on LIC policy loans is not tax-deductible under normal circumstances. However, there are two exceptions:
- If the loan is used for business purposes, the interest may be deductible as a business expense under Section 37(1) of the Income Tax Act
- If the policy is assigned to a bank for business loan security, different tax treatments may apply
Consult a tax advisor for specific cases. Refer to Income Tax Department guidelines for current rules.
Yes, you can take multiple loans against the same Jeevan Anand policy, subject to these conditions:
- The total outstanding loan amount cannot exceed 90% of the current surrender value
- Each new loan application will be treated as a top-up on existing loan
- You must maintain a minimum buffer of 10% surrender value
- All loans will carry the same interest rate as the original loan
Example: If your surrender value is ₹3,00,000 and you have an outstanding loan of ₹2,00,000, you can take an additional loan of up to ₹70,000 (90% of ₹3,00,000 = ₹2,70,000; existing ₹2,00,000; remaining ₹70,000).
To apply for a loan against your Jeevan Anand Plan 149, you’ll need:
- Original Policy Document (or policy bond)
- Loan Application Form (Form 3010 for LIC)
- Identity Proof (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, or Voter ID)
- Address Proof (Aadhaar, Utility Bill, or Bank Statement)
- Passport Size Photograph (2 copies)

- Premium Payment Receipt (latest)
Processing typically takes 7-10 working days. You can submit documents at any LIC branch or through their customer portal.
Taking a loan against your Jeevan Anand policy does not reduce the sum assured payable to beneficiaries in case of death. However:
- The outstanding loan amount + accrued interest will be deducted from the death claim
- Beneficiaries receive: (Sum Assured + Bonuses) – (Outstanding Loan + Interest)
- If the loan exceeds the claim amount, beneficiaries receive nothing (though this is rare)
- The policy continues to earn bonuses and final addition bonuses normally
Example: For ₹50 lakh sum assured with ₹5 lakh outstanding loan:
Death Claim = ₹50,00,000 + Bonuses – ₹5,00,000 = ₹45,00,000 + Bonuses
