(THE NEWSMAN OF INDIA.COM)In a compassionate and proactive response to the tragic Air India AI 171 plane crash in Ahmedabad on 12th June 2025, Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has announced special concessions to support affected families. LIC has expressed deep sorrow over the loss of lives, including passengers, crew members, and people on the ground, and has committed itself to extend timely financial assistance.

Understanding the emotional and logistical challenges faced by bereaved families, LIC has decided to expedite claim settlements. In a significant relief measure, the Corporation will accept alternative documents in place of the traditional death certificate. Any official record confirming the death of the policyholder in the crash — including compensation documentation issued by Central/State Government or Airline Authorities — will be treated as valid proof of death.

LIC has assured that its teams will reach out to claimants proactively and ensure that all eligible claims are processed swiftly, minimizing any additional distress for the families.

For assistance, affected claimants can contact the nearest LIC Branch, Division, or Customer Zone. They can also reach LIC’s dedicated helpline at 022-68276827 for guidance and support.

LIC’s swift and sensitive response underscores its commitment to policyholders in times of national tragedy.
