This is how you can link your Aadhaar and PAN with LIC policy online

Like many other government policies, India’s biggest life insurer LIC is urging people to link their Aadhaar number along with PAN to your LIC policies. The company has mentioned the step by step process to do the same on their website. The insurer stated on its website ” As per a government directive, you have to link your Aadhaar and PAN to your LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) policies.”

However, like other services, LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) has not launched any SMS facility to enable linking of Aadhaar with its policies.

The insurer confirmed on the Twitter platform and wrote, “Our attention is drawn to some messages circulated in social media with our Emblem and logo asking policyholders to link their Aadhaar number by sending SMS to a designated number. No such message has been sent by LIC. Also, no facility to link Aadhaar number to policies is available through SMS in LIC. As and when LIC will enable linking of Aadhaar number with policies through SMS, our website will be duly updated with this option.”

From insurance policies to mobile SIM, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has made it compulsory to link the Aadhaar for carrying out a number of tasks.

As the Aadhaar registration requires an individual’s biometric information, hence the chances of duplication are almost impossible.

Aadhaar is a 12 digit unique-identity number issued to all Indian residents based on their biometric and demographic data.

As mentioned by the insurer, the last date to link your LIC policy to Aadhaar as mandated by the government is December 31.

Here are the steps to link Aadhaar to your LIC Policy:

Step 1: Keep your Aadhaar Card and PAN card handy along with the list of policies.

Step 2: Visit LIC’s website — licindia.in

Step 3: The link for linking Aadhaar and PAN with LIC policies is displayed on the homepage.

Step 4: Click on the link and you will be redirected to a new page.

Step 5: LIC gives you a to-do checklist. Read the instructions carefully before proceeding further.

Step 6: Mobile Number as registered with UIDAI is to be entered. OTP will be sent to the number provided.

Step 7: In case your mobile number is not updated in Aadhaar, kindly contact nearby LIC branch office for Aadhaar linking.

Step 8: After submitting the form, a message will be shown on the success of the registration for linkage.

Step 9: After verification with UIDAI, SMS / mail confirmation will be sent to you. The verification may take few days.
