LIC Settles Claims Of Uri Soldiers in Less Than a Week

In a show of solidarity towards soldiers killed in the Uri attack, LIC today said it has expeditiously settled the insurance claims on its own after obtaining necessary documents.

"LIC officials scanned the names in the policy masters and traced the families of those martyrs. Officials were deputed to convey heart-felt condolences," LIC said in a statement."They also collected necessary papers for documentation and after ascertaining the nominees, the claims were promptly settled without delay.

" The insurance claims were settled in less than a week of the attack on September 18, in which 18 soldiers were killed. All the claims were settled by September 24, it said. Nine of the 18 martyrs had LIC individual policies which were settled immediately by handing over cheques to the nominees personally by LIC officers, the insurer said.

In another statement, the public insurance company said MDRT through its director (global markets) awarded a plaque to LIC for being the number one company in the world in terms of maximum qualifying and registered agents for MDRT.
