You must be aware that it is mandatory to produce Premium Paid Certificate for insurance policies to avail Income tax exemption benefit under section 80 C. Premium Paid Certificate is a document issued by an insurer against payment of the premium amount. This document is generally required for the policies premium paid via ECS and NACH mode. For all other modes of payment, you get a premium receipt which will act as proof for income tax benefit.
If you have purchased LIC policy, and looking for the premium paid certificate you have three options. You can either contact your LIC agent, you can approach your branch office or you can download LIC Premium Paid Certificate Online. Out of these first two options are time consuming and cumbersome.

But, how to add ‘spouse’ policies?
I have tried from the portal. The drop-down menu gives only one choice i.e. self and does not give the choice of ‘spouse’ despite that I have gone into the menu by clicking on ‘Spouse Policies’.
Hi Kamal,
Follow the steps given below to register Policies of Spouse.
Login to Portal. You will be able to see Self Policies and Spouse Policies.Click on Spouse Polices. It will redirect you to the new page. Click on Add Policy link (top left corner). Enter Policy Number and Relationship detail and press submit button.
While clicking on ‘spouse policy’s, no new page is opening and that’s why I wrote the comment.
I think it is a local issue of your browser. Request you to update your browser or try with other browser. I am using latest chrome browser and it is working without any issue.
