Changing your LIC policy nominee is important to ensure the financial security of your loved ones if something happens to you. This process ensures financial security for your chosen nominee, and proper steps are essential to complete the nomination change correctly. Let’s read more about the nominee and how to change LIC nominee online details easily in a few steps:
Read moreA nominee is the person who receives the insurance claim amount in case of any unfortunate event within the purview of plan conditions that happens to you. They're usually a family member or trusted relative. You can also nominate minors such as your children, where you have to name another individual who will have the welfare of the children called an appointee. Without a nominee, your family may not get the insurance money, causing financial difficulties. Choosing a nominee carefully is crucial when buying a life insurance policy or other financial products like bank accounts and investments to prevent financial hardship for your loved ones.
With LIC's e-services, you can go through your policy details online. Through the portal, you can view your claim status and policy status. You can even pay your premiums online. However, the option to online change the nominee in LIC policy is not yet available.
Changing the nominee in LIC policy is a simple process. Also, you can make this change multiple times during your policy term. All policies with a sum insured below Rs. 75,000 are eligible for free cancellations or nomination changes. From the second time, the minimal amount is charged. Although the process of LIC nominee change online is not yet supported in the LIC login portal, it can be easily done with a branch visit.
Here is what you need to do if you are looking for how to change nominee in LIC

These services include premium payments, policy status checks, loan and bonus tracking, grievance filing, and more. With LIC e-Services, policyholders can manage their insurance policies conveniently from anywhere.
After completing this process, keep a copy of the LIC nomination change form and check with LIC to confirm the update.
The below-mentioned documents are a must when changing the nominee in a LIC policy:
Form 3750 (LIC nomination change form)
The relationship proof between the policyholder and the person being nominated.
Policy contract (for endorsement).

From personal to situational, there can be several reasons why you may be required to change the nominee in your LIC policy. Mentioned below are some of the common ones:
The unfortunate demise of your nominee.
Family quarrel where the nominee is no longer a part of your family, and you do not want to be associated with him/her.
You made the decision quickly and now think someone else should be the nominee.
You have met someone special and want to nominate them instead of the former nominee.
The nominee's name is incorrect, and you want to change it.
You may have missed filling in the correct relationship details with the nominee, and now you want to correct it.
The nominee's birth date/month/year is incorrect and needs to be changed.
Changing the nominee in LIC policy must be done with utmost care. You need to keep in mind the below-mentioned things:
Please ensure you have provided the nominee's full name as mentioned in official documents like driving licenses and passports. Also, please ensure that the age and address are correctly mentioned. You must specify the relationship between the policyholder and the nominee correctly.
You must ensure that the appointee details are also specified for a minor nominee. The minor cannot get the claim and needs someone above 18. Appointee details like full name, address, age, relationship with the nominee, gender, and required documents must be submitted.
Once the application to change the nomination has been filed, the policyholder must receive a written acknowledgment from the insurance company.
You can also add Successive/Alternate nominations for the single or joint-life of the minor.
Before changing the nominee, do not forget these things:
The policyholder's lifetime does not give the nominee any right to modify or take control of the policy.
If the nominee declared by the policyholder dies after the policyholder's death but before the amount paid by the insurer, the said amount will be paid to the nominee's legal representatives.
Changing the nominee in your LIC plan online is a simple process that ensures your loved ones are appropriately covered in unforeseen circumstances. Make sure you read and understand LIC Nominee Change Form 3750, which is where you will provide all the necessary details regarding the nominee change.
