Fake Life Insurance Corporation of India calls and apps

LIC maturity release fees, revival payments and remote app asks on calls using the LIC name, with a way to confirm the facts.

India's largest life insurer, owned by the government and known for endowment, money-back and pension plans. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be Life Insurance Corporation of India on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake Life Insurance Corporation of India calls and apps

Caller says your LIC policy has matured and asks a tax or GST payment before release
Agent claims a lapsed policy can be revived with a one-time cash payment to a personal account
Person offers to close a bonus claim for a commission
Caller asks you to install a remote app to 'sync' LIC records

How to verify it yourself

Your policy number, premium due date and maturity details are in your policy bond, your premium receipts and the official LIC website that you type by hand. Premiums are paid to LIC through its own portals or a branch, not to a personal UPI ID. A maturity or bonus never needs a tax payment from you in advance. Visit your servicing branch with the policy document if a caller disagrees with what you see there.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions

A caller says they are from Life Insurance Corporation of India. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact Life Insurance Corporation of India through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can Life Insurance Corporation of India ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
