Link Your AADHAAR and PAN To Your LIC Policies Online

With just a month left to link Aadhaar with several policies, India's biggest life insurer LIC has listed steps on Aadhaar linkage. “As per a government directive, you have to link your Aadhaar and PAN to your LIC (Life Insurance Corporation) policies,” 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, says India's biggest life insurer on its website. LIC has come up with a facility which enables policyholders to link Aadhaar with their policies online. Insurance regulator IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India) had earlier said linkage of Aadhaar number with insurance policies is mandatory and asked insurers to comply with the statutory norms. "The Authority clarifies that, linkage of Aadhaar number to insurance policies is mandatory under the Prevention of Money Laundering (Maintenance of Records) Second Amendment Rules, 2017," IRDAI said.

From insurance policies to mobile SIM, the UIDAI (Unique Identification Authority of India) has mandated 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.

The last date to link your LIC policy to Aadhaar as mandated by the government is December 31.

LIC has on its website - licindia.in - listed steps to link policies with Aadhaar and PAN online: 

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

2) Log in to LIC's website. The link for linking Aadhaar and PAN with LIC policies is displayed prominently on LIC's homepage.

3) Click on the link and LIC gives you a to-do checklist. Read the instructions. 

4) Mobile Number as registered with UIDAI has to be entered. OTP will be sent to the number provided.

5) In case your mobile number is not updated in Aadhaar, kindly contact nearby LIC Branch Office for Aadhaar linking, says LIC.

6) After reading the checklist, click on the Proceed button at the bottom of the page.

After submitting the details in the form, a message will be shown on the success of the registration for linkage.

After verification with UIDAI or Unique Identification Authority of India, which issues Aadhaar card, a SMS/mail confirmation will be sent to you, says LIC. The verification may take few days, the insurer adds.
