  Given the implications for the origin of Li enhancement in red giants we have
reviewed Li-rich classification of KIC~9821622, the only bonafide RGB giant
with He inert-core till date, reported as a Li-rich giant by reanalyzing the
high-resolution spectra. We have obtained $A(Li)_{LTE} = 1.42 \pm 0.05$ dex.
After correcting for non-LTE it is $A(Li)_{NLTE} = 1.57 \pm 0.05 $ dex which is
significantly less than the reported A(Li) = $1.80 \pm 0.2$~dex. We found the
sub-ordinate line at 6103 \AA\ is too weak or absent to measure Li abundance.
The derived abundance is normal for red giants undergoing dilution during the
1st dredge-up. Since all the known Kepler field Li-rich giants belong to the
red clump region, this clarification removes the anomaly and strengthens the
evidence that the Li enhancement in low mass giants may be associated only with
the He-core burning phase. The Li excess origin, probably, lies during He-flash
at the RGB tip, an immediate preceding phase to red clump.
