A LIC credit card offers a plethora of privileges ranging from lifestyle, travel, dining, shopping, entertainment and health. Additionally, card holders can also get complimentary insurance cover for their credit cards and get rewarded with an exceptional loyalty program.

Features and Benefits of LIC Credit Cards:

• Balance Transfer:

  LIC customers can easily transfer the outstanding balance from another bank's credit card to an LIC credit card. LIC offers attractive interest rates for a balance transfer and customers can choose from two plans that are available. The first plan offered is a zero interest plan and the second plan is provided at an interest rate of 0.75%, for the first three months of repayment.

• Fuel Surcharge Waiver:

  Fuel surcharge waivers can be got by customers using a LIC credit card to purchase fuel at any petrol bunk in India. The waiver amount should be up to a maximum of Rs. 400 per statement cycle and is applicable for fuel transaction amounts ranging between Rs. 400 and Rs. 4000.

• Add-on Cards:

  Up to three add-on cards can be taken by primary credit card holders for their family inclusive of spouse, parents, parents-in-laws, siblings and children below the age of 15. A mandatory requirement is that, the add-on card applicants should be Indian residents.

• Loan on a Credit Card:

  Loans can be taken on a LIC credit card and can be repaid with flexible tenure options and low interest rates. LIC disburses loans without any hassles and customers do not have to submit any documentation while availing the loan. Rs. 500 of 1.5% is charged as the processing fee, depending on whichever is higher. When a loan is pre-closed, LIC imposes a foreclosure fee of 3% of the outstanding amount.

• Conversion to EMI:

  Any purchase transaction above a value of Rs. 2500 can be converted into a monthly installment and repaid at low interest rates. Customers have to place this request within 20 days of making the purchase. The interest rate charged here is 1.5% and the tenure options available range from 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. When the conversion is done, a processing fee of Rs. 150 or 1.5% will be charged by LIC Cards.

  Signature credit card users can enjoy complimentary lost card liability insurance for an amount up to their credit limit, up to a maximum of Rs.5, 00, 000. This lost card liability cover protects card users against any fraudulent transactions when their credit cards have been lost or stolen. The card holder is required to report the loss of credit card to the LIC Cards Customer Service, when he is in India or to the VISA Global Service helpline, if abroad. Once the card loss has been reported to the helpline, a replacement credit card would be sent within seven working days.
