Section 43b covers interest ,

  • on any loan or borrowing from the any public financial institution, a state corporation, or a state industrial investment corporation and 

  • Interest on any term loan from a scheduled bank in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Sec. 4A of the Indian Companies Act, 1956 talks about

the Public Financial Institutions in India. Clause (1) lists the Public Financial Institutions in India, which include "The Life Insurance Corporation of India, established under Section 3 of the Life Insurance Corporation Act, 1956"

Therefore Interest on LIC Loan is covered u/s 43b of Income Tax Act,1961.
