1. What is a NEFT ?

It is a nationwide system that facilitates to transfer a fund from one account of any bank branch to
another account of any bank branch. This system is operated by Reserve Bank of India. For
transfer of funds the participating banks have to be NEFT enabled. At present around 74000
Banks all over India are participating under NEFT system. For details please refer to RBI website
on http://www.rbi.org.in/scripts/neft.aspx

2. Advantages of NEFT system for LIC Policy holders / Annuitants :

a) The policy holder / claimant will get the credit in his own account on the due date of payment
irrespective of the location of his bank.

b) NEFT will ensure speedier and secure mode of payment.

c) There will be no extra charges to the policy holders / claimant.

d) SMS and E-mail alerts may also be provided wherever the policy payment is made to the
policyholder/ claimants’ account through NEFT.

e) Each payment from LIC through NEFT will create one UTR(Unique Transaction Reference)
number. If there is any problem in credit to the account, policy holders / claimant can confirm
from their bank by quoting this UTR no. In other words it is easy to track a transaction of
NEFT, using UTR number.

3. Important information to the Policy holder / claimants opting for NEFT :

a) All the items mentioned in the enclosed mandate form should be filled correctly. This
mandate can be used for 6 different policy numbers of the same policyholder..

b) The completed mandate for NEFT should be sent to our Branch, servicing at least one of the
policies, listed in the mandate.

for fund transfer. So policy holders / annuitants are requested not to submit their NRI account
details.

form will have to be submitted.
