How to Generate LIC Premium Statement for IT Returns

As an income 'taxpayer, there are several documents which one ends up needing to file their tax returns. One among them is your life insurance policy premium statement.  

If you have taken an LIC insurance policy, chances are that you are paying your premiums either online (via electronic clearing service or ECS) or offline at the designated cash counters specified for the same. For filing your tax returns, one of the things you will require to provide is your LIC policy premium statement for the ongoing financial year.

How to Generate LIC Policy Premium Receipts

When premium payments are made online via the LIC India website (www.licindia.in), a receipt is automatically sent to the registered email address of the policyholder shortly after payment. These online receipts can be used as valid proof for income tax filing. However, for customers who use ECS for premium payments, the premiums are automatically deducted from their bank account when due, and no premium receipt is generated or sent in such cases
