[Resolved]  Life Insurance Corporation of India [LIC] — no action from lic for response I provided to the surrender option notice

Address:MG Road, Near Kumble Circle, M.G.Road, 560001

Pension plus policy no:[protected]

I made a request for policy surrender request along with request for issuing an immediate annuity. After few weeks, i was told by my agent that my pension plus policy can't be surrendered. Hence i requested then atleast issue the policy duplicate bond and i won't pay for the policy.

To the contrary, however i got a notice from lic india to exercise either one of the below option.

1) revival of the policy, or
2) complete withdrawal from the policy

I chose option 2 and sent a return response along with copy of the lic notice in a professional courier by mar 2018. Also the notice clearly mentioned that, if i don't chose any of the option with in 30 days, the insurer will assume as if i choose option 2.

Till date (29th aug 2019), i didn't receive an update from lic india. Also in online customer portal, my policy status shows as inforce and i was being asked in the portal to pay the premium of 1, 00, 000.00 including interest since feb 2018 till date. Ideally in system by now, they should updated the status to terminated or marked for surrender or awaiting to issue annuity policy or something related to that.

I have raised a grievance request (Grievance reddressal: [protected]) through online portal.

Need your support to solve my issue at the earliest so that an immediate annuity is issued as per my initial request on jan 2018.
