Hello,
My name is labhesh vaidya, i read your letter sent to the LIC officer regarding the miscalculation of Loan Rate of intreast regarding the LHPLR by Mr. Saurabh Kumar Arya. Even i was charged in a wrong manner as, as the rate of intreast on my sanction letter was 10%. But when i got my first EMI deducted it was found that they have charged me at the rate of 11.00%.
Again i got a letter from LICHFCL stating that the LHPLR rates have slashed down by 75 bps in JAN 2009 and my rate of intreast will be "11.25%" which has increased instead of decreasing. This is sheer fooling of the customers, I will surely complaint about this to the senior most officer of the LIC. Do mail me if you have any better way of fighting against this.
Thanks & Regards

Hello Sir (s)
I also fully agree with the observations made by Mr.Labhesh Vaidya. In my case, the LHPLR at the time of sanction was 12.50% (08.03.2007) and the rate of interest was specified at LHPLR minus 250bps, and special concessional rate of interest was specified as 9.25%. Now i have been receving a series of letters from LICHFL informing increase / decrease in floating rate of interest but it is calculated 250 bps less than the LHPLR. LICHFL has conveniently forgetton the concession of 75 basis points which also needs to be considered. If not what is meant by the concession in the rate of interest as per the sanction order. Further some of the letter from LICHFL specify only the restated EMI but not the rate of interest adopted and the basis of such new EMI calculation.
Lastly, LICHFL has issued a press release dated 3rd February 2009 reducing the floating rate of interest and when i enquired to the Regional Office at Saidapet, about the effect of such press release on the rate of interest charged on my loan, the official says that the new rate is applicable for new loans only. No where in the press release it is mentioned that it is for new loans only.
It is highly regrettable for an institution like LICHFL to indulge in such objectionable and questionable approaches in the matter of charging interest and sending communication to its customers and public at large.
Please let me know if you agree with my point of view and we will take up this matter further.
Best regards

Hello All,
It seems everyone is facing the same sort of problem about interest rates. After carefully studying my sanction letter and talking in length to LICHFL agent last month, I come to the following conclusions. Any mention of "Special Concessional Rates (mine was 10.5 %)" or "recent announcements of new rates of 9.25 % and then of 8.75 % for new loan applicants " in the sanction letter is only applicable for 3 months. Thereafter, applicable rate would be "LHPLR - 250 bps". This is what written in my SANCTION LETTER ( dated September 2008). And according to my sanction letter, the current LHPLR was 14.5 %. After the recent announcement of reducing LHPLR by 0.75 % for existing customer with effect from Jan 1, 2009, the current LHPLR now stands out at 13.75 % and hence my floating loan rate is 11.25 % ( not 10.5 percent as promised initially ). As of now, I am paying Pre-EMI interest on 11.25 % after paying it on 10.5 % for three months.
Infact, the LICHFL agent happily told me that after three months, everyone else comes to the same floating interest rate irrespective of what they are being offered earlier ( 9.25 or 8.75 or something else). Yes, I agree this is totally unethical from agent side, who would never told you first when u come for a loan. Instead he will boast of about LICHFL interest rates is much lower than other private banks specially ICICI bank. This leaves you in a bad taste and you feel cheated.
The customer service is pathetic. They would never tell you about any updates or announcements. I do not think that anything can be done against them. The only thing we can do is to discourage others from taking loan from LICHFL or be clear about every point while taking loan from them. The are other corrupt practices too in which their agents are involved, which I would discuss it later.

Sachin Goyal.

Dear all
In my case the agent mumbles and gives repetetive useless answers; The agent has clearly cheated; In fact i never approached any agent. I directly called a area manager for loan assistance. The area manager then asked some to contact me, which i thought, should be a LICHFL employee. But sadly, i found myself discussing with an agent later. Why LICHFL / area managers wants things to be done through the agents, , even when directly approached by the customer, is one question which the management of LICHFL should inquire.

Dear All,
It is very true that the LIC HFL has many flaws in their working. We have also faced a problem of Special concession. But it was sorted out after a long fight with the LIC HFL people. Now, there is a new issue of BPLR. It is clearly mentioned in the terms and conditons that any change in the BPLR, should be informed to the customers, but they failed to do so. Despite of asking them again and again, they fail to do so. Rather, one of their senior officer in his mail, told me that BPLR varies from account to account. Now, I don't understand that how can BPLR vary from individual to individual. Yes, the Rate of Interest may vary, but I don't think that BPLR can also vary.
Now, till the date we have not being informed about the approved source of LICHFL for knwoing the BPLR.
Sometimes we really feel pity on our selves that what made us to approach LIC HFL for the Loan.
Regards
Abhinav Goel

I perfectly agree with the agony faced by innocent customers. We go to LICHFL considering it being a govt organisation views, the home loan dealings will be transparent. But it is dominated by touts called the agents. The lichfl officials will like to deal us through agents for obvious reasons and to frustrate the customers further, the Area Managers will be unapproachable. So deal with agents at Ur own risk.
God bless LICHFL

I had taken loan from LIC HFL and submitted 3 policies. The loan was paid back fully and policies re-assigned, but while the policy matured it seems LIC was not intimated by LIC HFL about the re-assignment. I have to run around to get some forms signed from LIC HFL and put in efforts for the inefficiencies of HFL. I don't know if these guys are accountable for their mistakes.
I m also a five year old sufferer of LIC HFL. When LIC HFL has declared reduction in interest rates in press conference then they have not specified for new/old loans. When they can increase rates for old and new both then they should decrease in the same manner for old and new both. This revision should be adjusted on old loans also, for all earlier revisions which was made only on new loans.
RBI and other concerned Govt Agencies should act strictly on LICHFL and compell them to adjust the same revision rates on both old and new loans.
Thanks

I totally agree with all you gentlemen here. I too trusted LIC and to some extent was lured into their lowest initial quote. Please note, people reading this, LICHFL may offer you the best rate or eligibility, but I can only say after a couple of years of dealing with these fraudsters, that these people cannot be trusted with your hard earned money.
Please reconsider your decision before going ahead with any of their useless Agents' offers.
I hope the RBI's Banking Ombuds-person reads this and takes strict action on these people, spoiling years of brand equity that LIC (the Life Insurance Company) has so painstakingly built. Amen.

Dear all, LICHFL is behaving lide private brokerage agency. It is well known for cheating the people. Please never fall in the trap of agents. Public sector company is behaving like this, thinks about private banks. Government of India or NHB should have control on this. we will fight together against this. [protected]@yahoo.co.in

Initially I was told that the interset rate will be 10.4% floating, but when I got my sanction letter, it was mentioned that the above mentioned rate is just for 3 months or next revision, & after that it will be LHPLR-3.4% c(urrent LHPLR being 14.4%). This clearly means that they are fooling us by stating interest rate of 10.4%, as the same is applicable only for 3 months. Also being a Navratna PSU employee, I was told that I will be given a discount of 25bps in LHPLR (i.e. LHPLR in my case would be 11.15%), but the same is not mentioned in my sanction letter.
The same story with me also, Initially I was told that the interest rate will be 10.4% floating, even i asked again and again for any other hidden charges or policies they didn't clarify anything. but when I got my sanction letter, it was mentioned that the above mentioned rate is just for 6 months or next revision, & after that it will be LHPLR-2.75% (current LHPLR being 14.4%).
When i think about the changing the bank they are saying that they will charge 2% on principle amount even after the guideline issue by the RBI that they can not charge prepayment or pre-closer fees.Please suggest the appropriate action.

I am trying to get the loan statement and creating an ID but not able to create the the same due to some technical problems in LIC web site.
Any how, I need the Loan statement for financial year 2013-14 to submit in office for tax benefit.

I have the same issue with LIC HFL, I am an victim as well. There are a lot of ways to fight this. Listed below are just some of them :
Post this on RBI website
Contact Banking Ombudsmen Team
File a case at the Consumer Forum (after you have a written justification from the branch)
Report to ASCI - Advertising Standards Regulations and stop all the ads by LIC HFL on the media.
The final option would be to stay with me and raise a voice, i am going ahead will all the possible options if i issue is not addressed in 2 days from today.
