Is it safe to do an LIC premium payment using a third-party app

LIC's official guidance states that online premium payment should be made by the policyholder themselves, advising against third-party payments when using their payment mode. However, trusted third-party platforms, such as Policybazaar and Paytm, are widely used for LIC premium payments, often requiring basic policy and contact details. Always ensure you are using a secure and verified application or platform for transactions.
