02 August 2024 When recording a Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) policy in a personal balance sheet, the value shown should reflect the current value or cash surrender value of the policy, not the premiums paid. Here’s how to handle it:

### **1. **Understand the Policy's Current Value**

- **Current Value:** The amount to be shown in the balance sheet is typically the **cash surrender value** of the policy, which is the amount you would receive if you were to terminate the policy early. This value is provided by LIC and can be obtained from the policy statement or by contacting LIC directly.

### **2. **Premiums Paid**

- **Premiums Paid:** The total premiums paid (₹400,000 in this case) do not represent the asset value. They are historical payments that contribute to the value of the policy but are not directly shown as an asset.

### **3. **Determine the Asset Value**

- **Cash Surrender Value:** If you have the cash surrender value, use this figure. If not, it is advisable to get this value from LIC to ensure accuracy.

### **4. **Record in Balance Sheet**

- **Asset Entry:** In your personal balance sheet, list the policy under assets with its current cash surrender value.

### **Example:**

Let’s say the cash surrender value of the LIC policy is ₹500,000. Here’s how you would record it:

- **Assets:**
- LIC Policy (Cash Surrender Value): ₹500,000

### **Summary**

To show the LIC policy on your personal balance sheet:
- **Obtain the current cash surrender value** from LIC.
- **Record this value** under assets on your balance sheet.

The premiums paid are important for understanding the investment in the policy but do not directly impact the asset value shown in the balance sheet.
