Fake Life Insurance Corporation of India messages and links
LIC lapse alerts, bonus claims and premium dues are used in fake texts. Read the lines and check them against your own policy.
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 in SMS, WhatsApp and email messages. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.
Lines used in fake Life Insurance Corporation of India messages
- Your LIC policy has lapsed, revive it today by paying this link
- LIC policy bonus of Rs 48,000 is pending, share your policy number to receive it
- LIC premium due tomorrow, pay through this UPI ID to avoid penalty
- LIC KYC update needed or your maturity amount will be held
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.
