Understand how to change or add a nominee in an LIC policy, what to check when the nominee is a minor, how an appointee works, and which official LIC nomination form may apply.
Which situation describes you?
Keep your nomination record current
LIC advises policyholders to ensure that the nominee's name is correctly incorporated in the policy record. LIC also states that nomination can be changed during the lifetime of the policy.
A nomination should therefore be reviewed when family circumstances change or when the existing policy record is missing, incorrect or no longer reflects your intention.
Understand the change before submitting it
Nomination servicing can involve different forms depending on whether you are adding a nomination, changing an existing nominee, nominating a minor, or changing an appointee.
This guide is designed to help you identify the relevant route before approaching LIC's servicing branch.
A short educational video can be added here after recording.

How to approach an LIC nominee change
Check the existing record
Confirm the nomination currently recorded against the policy before requesting a change.
Decide the new nomination
Keep the nominee information requested in the applicable LIC form ready.
Check whether the nominee is a minor
Where the nominee is a minor, check the applicable appointee requirement.
Select the applicable LIC form
Use the official LIC forms directory and follow the instructions printed on the relevant form.
Submit through the applicable LIC servicing process
Confirm the current submission and servicing requirements with LIC for the policy concerned.
Retain acknowledgement
Keep evidence of submission and verify that the requested change has been recorded in LIC's records.
Information and documents to prepare
Requirements can depend on the type of nomination request and the policy record. Start with the applicable official LIC form and confirm the current servicing requirements before submission.
What if the nominee is a child?
LIC permits nomination in favour of a minor. When the nominee is a minor, the applicable nomination and appointee requirements should be checked carefully before submitting the request.
The nominee is the person nominated under the policy. An appointee is relevant where the nominee is a minor and is appointed for the purpose contemplated under the applicable nomination provisions.
| Need | LIC Form |
|---|---|
| Minor nominee | 3265 |
| Appoint appointee | 3738 |
| Fresh / replacement appointee | 3741 |
| Revoke appointee | 3740 |
Policy assigned or under a loan?
Nomination and assignment can interact depending on the nature and status of the assignment. If the policy has an assignment or policy loan history, confirm the current policy record and applicable nomination position with LIC.
Things worth checking before submission
Use the latest LIC forms
LIC lists nomination and appointee forms in its official Download Forms section. Because forms and servicing requirements can change, this guide directs you to LIC's current forms page instead of maintaining an unofficial replacement copy.
