Given the implications for the origin of Li enhancement in red giants we havereviewed Li-rich classification of KIC~9821622, the only bonafide RGB giantwith He inert-core till date, reported as a Li-rich giant by reanalyzing thehigh-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 issignificantly less than the reported A(Li) = $1.80 \pm 0.2$~dex. We found thesub-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 the1st dredge-up. Since all the known Kepler field Li-rich giants belong to thered clump region, this clarification removes the anomaly and strengthens theevidence that the Li enhancement in low mass giants may be associated only withthe He-core burning phase. The Li excess origin, probably, lies during He-flashat the RGB tip, an immediate preceding phase to red clump.
