According to LIC website," Insertion of an advertisement at the policyholder's cost in one English daily newspaper having wide circulation in the State where the loss is reported to have occurred. A copy of the Newspaper in which the advertisement appeared should be sent to the servicing office one month after its appearance. If no objection has been lodged with LIC regarding the policy in question, a duplicate policy will be issued after complying with further requirements, i.e., Indemnity Bond and payment of charges for preparing duplicate policy and stamp fee."
However, in some cases, such as those listed below, the advertisement and Indemnity Bond requirements may be waived or amended.
1. Loss of policy due to theft
2. Destruction of policy by fire
3. Loss of policy while in custody of an office of government
4. If the policy is mutilated or damaged
5. If the policy in torn and a part of it is missing
6. Policy partially destroyed by white ants
One has to fill the questionnaire form and Form 3756 along with a written application and indemnity bond. The questionnaire form includes questions on details of your policy, how you lost/misplaced it and efforts to find it.
Depending on the insurance company, the insured may be required to furnish an indemnity bond on non-judicial stamp paper. Please confirm with the LIC office whether stamp paper is required and the precise value of the stamp paper.
Make sure to keep your valid ID and address proof handy when visiting your LIC home branch to request for a duplicate policy bond.
