Hi Friends,
I have been a customer of LIC HFL for 3.5 years. With my own experience, I have Found LIC is worsting banking organization across the domain.
1. Service is pathetic, no one is there to listen to customer.
2. they ROI after a fixed period is very high, (almost 2% higher than market rate)
3. Their Service time is almost double as compared to other govt/private banks.
4. disbursement time in CLP plan is quite high, SBI takes 2-3 days for disbursement while LIC take >20 days for the same task.
5. Now I am doing balance transfer, they took >15 days to provide list of documents and foreclosure letter.
6. After Loan closure, again LIC is asking for 4 weeks time for document retrieval which should not take more than a week time.

Comparing to nearest competitor SBI, they address these tasks in almost half of the time.

Over and above when I write a mail to their Customer care, I always get auto reply that some one revert back, but to my surprise I haven't got a single call/reply from customer care team.

I know most of the customer may not have faced these issues, however Service quality and capability is best judged in crucial times.

I have tried & tested and basis that I am sharing this feedback for every-ones benefit.

My loan a/c no.[protected]. I have taken loan from LIC Housing Finance Ltd. from Asaf Ali Road Branch. Loan was taken for 15 years. I came to know that they have increased my tenure from 15 yrs to 20 yrs. and they have increased interest rate I.e 12% per annum which is not justified. You are requested to help me in reducing interest rate since they are charging. Thanks. Shantanu Sachdeva. Email [protected]@gmail.com

Loan No :[protected] I have been trying to reach the agents since July'2015 for LOD but I am not getting any help which could help better. They have sent me those docs on 18th but I have not received it so when I asked them about the tracking details they said they dont have it. Then they again sent me document on 26th in Professional courier which didnt deliver it to me rather it sent back the docs by mistake to Bangalore office. I have been asking these people to send me a soft copy but none of them are responding to me. They are not picking up the phone also they are rude in their mail communication. Currently I am located at Bhubaneswar and I cant physically visit to bangalore for every small stuff. They should understand this and deliver what is committed by them.

My policy number[protected] . date of maturity on the original policy- 09 th Aug 2015. Below e- mail that i had written to LIC branch - 918 is self explanatory. Till date there is no revert. I have lost out the opportunity of investing in their own scheme of varishta yojana, and the last date was 14th Aug, I am completely fed up and i want LIC to pay for the for the harrasment caused by them, loss of maturity funds otherwise i would invested and got interest. Thank you, Jayalaxmi Shetty Above mentioned policy has matured on 9th August 2015 as mentioned in my original policy and I have still not got my money in my bank account. I had already forwarded my original policy and bank details etc to LIC well on time. When I checked on 10th August with the 918 branch, I was told that in the computer system the maturity date is mentioned as 9th September!!! This is the reason why my money is not paid!! Is this my fault??????? Why should we suffer for your carelessness?? I will certainly not accept it. This maturity amount of approx RS 332000/- is earmarked to invest in your institution in my husband's name under Varishta pension scheme which is closing on 14th of August. We are salaried people and cannot have any other income other than the above amount. Please ensure that the money is transferred under this scheme at any cost and you can keep doing investigation at your own time later. I am not asking for my money in my account.But i want this money to be invested in the scheme before the end of the last date. Necessary supporting document has been already submitted to the above branch and I was told that the same is being looked into. I am extremely upset on this issue and the trust that we have been having with LIC is completely shattered. If this problem is not resolved, and if I miss this opportunity of investing in the scheme, you will be held responsible and I will go ahead with legal. Please revert on the status of action you have taken. Regards, Jaya Shetty

I have faced the issue while making premium payment using IDBI payment gateway and money got debited from my bank account. I did not receive any receipt.

When I tried to call the service center numbers provided on portal no one received my call.

On line premium receipt not received /generated Sir, I paid premium through 'Citibank Credit card' policy no.[protected] amount 1382.80 on 19th Aug. I call and Confirmed with Citi bank that the amount is already approved to the LIC payment. But still the Online Premium receipt is not generated. Please send me online receipt to my email. ([protected]@yahoo.com) Thanks Senthilnathan.K

I made complete outstanding payment on 10th August 2015 and this cheque got cleared, all outstanding amount got deducted from my account which included principal and interest till date. I was also promised there would be no more EMI deductions as the account is settled. But still on 17th August 2015 the EMI got deducted from my account through ECS. This is complete cheat and fraud. Looking forward to get some solution on this. Even after settling the account EMI is being deducted which is not ethical at all. My account number is [protected]. EMI of amount 32928 got deducted unnecessarily. Due to this my bank balance got disturbed and i had to arrange for funds instantly for other purposes. I had kept this amount for some other use and these guys deducted the EMI and i had to arrange for funds then. This is ridiculous. I want my money 32928 back credited to my account ASAP and with compensation as well.

I've made a payment of Rs. 31294 towards the LIC policy number[protected]. The amount is deducted from my credit card, however the LIC site says the payment has not been made yet. Kindly suggest and help in getting this issue resolved ASAP. Also, I've received the following mail from Easy2Pay : Dear Customer, As requested by you, please note that the following SALE has been processed by IDBI Bank - Eazy2Pay Payment Gateway : Merchant Name: Life Insurance Corporatio Merchant Ref Number: 05595722 Payment Amount: Rs. 31294.60 Payment Date: Tue Aug 18 14:55:07 GMT+05:30 2015 Card Used: XXXX XXXX XXXX 1651 Transaction Identification Number:[protected] Please quote your Transaction Identification Number for any queries relating to this request.
