Most of us in India hold at least one Life Insurance Policy today. While we all know everything gets computerized these days, LIC also supports payment via internet. You can view details about how payment is made through internet here. Few years back LIC started supporting SMS’es as well. Now you really don’t need to have internet rather check your LIC policy status while on road by sending just one SMS to 56677.
Now that we know LIC answers to our SMS, lets see the format in which we have to send our SMS and their meaning.
The format in which the SMS has to be sent is
