The concept of life insurance was initially introduced to offer lifelong financial security to the applicant. It is an assurance to the policyholder of guaranteed returns upon policy maturity or in the event of death of the insured during the term of the plan. However, as time progressed, life insurance policies are now being increasingly used by the policyholders to also avail loan facilities during a financial crunch. This blog explores the possibility of availing a loan against life insurance policy for the insured.
When you need a huge sum of money to purchase something specific (such as property or material goods like a vehicle), one generally looks up to the option of taking a loan from a money-lender (such as a bank or any other financial institution). However, it may not always be necessary to rely on unsecured loans as the only option to meet financial obligations.
Life insurance now guarantees its policyholders an alternate loan-availing facility against their purchased insurance plans. This only means guaranteed financial security for the policyholder and his/her loved ones in the future as well as a means to depend upon for money as and when required.
Let’s look at some of the top advantages of availing loan against your life insurance policy:

Some insurers encourage their policyholders to avail the loan facility against the purchased life insurance plan from the insurance company. The policyholder needs to submit a loan application form and assign the original life insurance policy document to the insurer at the time of availing the loan. A minimum of Rs. 5 lakh to Rs. 5 crore can be granted as loan against life insurance policies. However, it is always better to check with your insurer about the specific loan amount or term of loan granted. Your insurer would generally allow you to avail loan facility against life insurance when there is a sufficient cash value build-up in the policy to facilitate taking loan in the specific amount required. Â
