The Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) is employing people in 2025 for different jobs like Assistant Engineers (AE) and Assistant Administrative Officers (AAO). Many people across India want to join LIC because it is one of the biggest government organizations that gives job security, good salary, and respect.
If you also want to apply, you must know about the submission/Application fee. Let’s understand all step by step.
What is an Application Fee?
When you apply for a government job, you need to pay a minor fee online. This pay is called the application fee. It helps the organization manage exams, forms, and other processes.
Just like when you buy a ticket for a movie, you also need to buy a “ticket” (application fee) to give the LIC exam.

Note: Transaction charges are the small extra amounts banks or apps (like UPI, net banking, or debit/credit card) take when you pay online.
