National Automated Clearing House (NACH) for LIC Policy

If you are taking a LIC policy in monthly mode then you have to submit NACH form along with LIC proposal. NACH is a replacement of ECS (electric clearance service) form. As you must know ECS was giving authority to your bank for monthly deduction from your account, same thing NACH will do .

But one basic difference is that you have to pay two month’s premium to start the policy ,whereas, through ECS only one month premium was needed to log in your policy in LIC .

One benefit is there ,Now you don’t need to go to concern BANK to get stamp on this NACH ,like it was in practice in ECS form.
