Register Complaints to IRDA regarding Insurance matters

POSTED BY Jagoinvestor ON September 22, 2010 COMMENTS (433)

Do you face issues while dealing with your Insurance Companies ? Do they dont answer you on time or dont entertain your genuine concerns on time ? Are you having a problem with Claims or other issues with an insurance company ?

Should you Complain ?

Incase you are facing issues like unsatisfactory answers , no replies on time , delay in replies, taking matters for granted and not treating you properly, any misselling in Insurance, you can complain to IRDA about all this , its just a call away, hence better use the facility and dont feel like you are not powerful enough. You can also mail Insurance companies and cc the IRDA email id for complaints for faster and better reply, but only incase you are facing issues , dont spam them 🙂 . Here is a nice Video Advertisement from IRDA called IRDA – Apki Suraksha ke Liye . I hope they do things in real life also the way they show in video 🙂

Call centre

IRDA (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority) has started a new service where you can approach by phone or E-mail and complain against your Insurer. There is a call centre started by IRDA for registering grievances on policy-related matters. The call centre will provide an easy and convenient way to bring complaints to the notice of the IRDA. the Toll Free Number is 155255 and Email for complaints is complaints@irda.gov.in . Before the complain, you can approach the Insurance Ombudsman where the dispute involves amount lower than Rs 20 lakh. You can find the contact mail address of the Insurance Ombudsman of your region from IRDA’s Web site.

Do you think its a good resource and would be of help to consumers or will fail just like other projects ? Comments ?sha

    i have taken loan from DHFL financial institution about Rs.30 lakhs, that time they have sanctioned Rs.336847/= additional income for premium forcibly though i have refused to them. After take over of loan when i have approached to cancellation of policy they refund me only 40% and 60% they have not paid . My questioned is why it is initially so much amount they have sanctioned me and why they have deducted my more then 60% amount from policy. under what section under IRDA act have such a provision stating sanctioning and collecting money from customer forcibly and after deceives me.

    1. No , there is no RBI rule like that, infact RBI is against this . You should not have moved ahead with that policy … Now you can complain to RBI or open a consumer court case !

  15. Chandan says:

    I had taken car insurance from reliance. It has been more than 35 days and they have not started repair work on my car. Earlier they were not able to decide whether the car should be a total loss or repaired than they said that it will be repaired and now although car is at cashless garage they are asking me to make advance payment fir repairing of car. It seems qs if they are avoiding liabilty because surveyor speaks different things all the time like once he said you get it repaired at some local garage so that rpair expenses are less.
    I dont know whom to approach because already so many letters written to reliance. They dont reply if they reply it is only one line we will look i to the matter.

    Kindly help me .what is the irda complaint email id

    1. I think the email is already provided in the article. You should also check IRDA website on this.

  16. Jayakumaran says:

    As a senior citizen-cum- non pensioner, I write this mail. I find that most public-sector insurers issue Health Insurance cover policies to various Public sector Banks/PSUs without imposing conditions on claims like Limit, sub-limits, co-payment, exclusions etc (taking low premium from Banks/PSUs only and not from retired employees) whereas they collect very high premium from people like me and also impose conditions listed above.
    My question is how this discrimination is allowed by IRDA for claims between these two category of people?
    I expect a convincing reply mail on this.
    Thanks.

    1. Hi Jayakumaran

    I am writing this mail to HDFC management and IRDA with some hope so that they can understand “How a genuine buyer feels” when Insurance companies charge money with fraudulent means. In an era of mass media and social media if HDFC continues to charge money fraudulently, trust me they will spoil their image and spread negative word of mouth in market.

    I would like to share my HDFC life Insurance’s buying experience with HDFC management and IRDA because I feel customer has a right to show their concerns to top management so that they can also understand how exactly brands get fail and spoil their image if they don’t care about their customers and do unethical business.

    I have purchased an online term plan from HDFC (Proposal No.7862117) for 12000/- (Approx). After buying as per terms and conditions I was supposed to get my medical done so I had given my blood samples and got my medical examination completed. Last week I received a mail that due to “Elevated Liver functioning” and some problem with some reports, your premium will increase by 7000 (Approx). Later, I had approached the HDFC customer care and they said they don’t have any details regarding this and told me to write to them and they will get back via email. Moreover, in spite of my asking numerous times to share the reports on basis of which they have increased my premium, I have still not received any response in this regard. Thus, Today I have again done all my liver related medical tests in which I have not found any issue related to my health.

    At last, I am looking forward to get the policy at the committed premium in the beginning or else let me know the valid reason for increase of premium.

Inspite of the fact that the Insurer (Aviva Life Insurance Co.Ltd.) has received my consent letter on 01 08.2015 (Speed Post), I am yet to receive the payment as awarded, pushing me to further anxiety not to say of huge loss.

    Dear Sir,

    I have taken a policy ( HDFC SL PROGROWTH SUPER II) from HDFC life with yearly premium of Rs Thirty thousand from HDFC Bank, Kharagpur. Premium was paid through my HDFC credit Cart on 26.02.2015. HDFC Life given the premium receipt (No.- 0000030543) with Client ID 34333. But HDFC Life debited the amount of Rs. Ninty Thousand instead of Rs.30000.00 from my HDFC credit Card. After registering complaint to higher management they reversed the amount Rs. sixty thousand in my credit card in May 2015. But without any information & reason HDFC Life cancelled my existing policy and opened the new policy (policy No.- 17615280) in August 2015 for FY 2015-2016.
    As i have already declared the policy with Client ID – 34333 in my Income Tax return for FY 2014-2015. So pls help in continuing my HDFC Life policy with Client ID -34333 only.

    It was filed on 13th May 2012 and it’s still without any solution. Yes we got response but, my father got threatening calls from SBI Life and once I raised a complaint against that to IRDA, it stopped. But yes the case yet stands there as it was.

    It’s 15th May 2015 and we are still waiting.

  32. Gauri says:

    I have availed a housing loan from SBI and then an insurance cover for the housing loan amount from SBI Life. My housing loan was sanctioned on the 18th of November and I handed in the application for insurance to SBI alongwith the premium cheque amount on the very same day. However SBI Life started processing my insurance application only on the 6th of February. From November till February whenever I called them they kept telling me that my documents are under processing. Then suddenly on 6th February they told that the premium amount has increased because I was older by a year (my birthday falls on the 5th of February). To my surprise they then informed me that they received my application only on the 6th February. Either SBI bank is lying or SBI Life is lying.
    I wrote to IRDA explaining my problem on the 27th of March. I haven’t heard from them until today. Can you suggest whom else could I approach other than going to the Consumer court?

    1. Its good that you have asked explanation from them. Now after 30 days of that, you can reach to consumer court. but before that I suggest you use RTI and clarify your doubts

    Hi. Due to an oversight my mom issued a cheque for premium from the wrong account which had insufficient funds. After 10 days we get a call from oriental insurance saying the cheque has bounced and due to that the policy has lapsed. My parents are around 70 yrs and doing a re medical is not gonna help since they already have some health issues. Our agent says the policy which they have of 10 lakhs is gone and nothing can be done. Only option is a remedical. They have this policy for 30 yrs or more. Can anything be done? If anyone has any info pls share

    1. Hi Priya

      I think its tough to get anything done . The point was the premium was not paid on time – PERIOD . What was the reason, it was a mistake from your end, and not company . So try to talk to them about this once !

Now, until now I thought +9114 calls were legitimate (I don’t know how I presumed this), so I told him that in fact I was not happy with my Bajaj Allianz ulip plan. He then told me that government can help.

    He asked for my policy number, date of birth, and nominee and I gave it to him. Then he said that I can cancel my policy if I converted my ACC code to sales code. I would receive 150000 Rs. in 45 days. For that I would have to pay 25% to Birla Sunlife which would be refunded. I thought Birla company is not a scammer so I agreed.

    Then his boss called me and said that I would have to send the cheque to them by courier, which finally rang the warning bells for me. I declined. One person called me again today and I refused to listen to him and told him to stop calling me.

    Now, I have not lost any money. I have not sent them my PAN card details, bank details or ID proof and cheque. But the thing that worries me is that now they know my policy number, full name and my date of birth.

    I just want to ask you that would that affect my security of Bajaj Allianz policy? I have control of my online Bajaj policy. But they can call Bajaj customer care and get the details of my policy through my policy number, name and date of birth.

    Should I be worried about the security of my policy in anyway?

    Please reply.

    1. Yes, the problem now here is that you have given enough details to them which can be used for verification online. You know that when you call customer care, they ask for DOB , name , policy number etc .. so you have passed on that details to someone else. So that they make a fake call. Now I am not saying that they will take your money, but its certainly at some risk . Better inform about this to Bajaj customer care and check what can be done ..

      And for God’s sake next time, so not pass on any details like this , and which department of govt calls like this ?

      1. Raj V says:

        I know I acted like a fool. I called customer care and they told me that apart from learning my policy status, they (scammers) can’t do anything else as bond papers are required for withdrawal.

        Should I mail them on their customer care too?

      2. Raj V says:

        I just called my local branch right now. They told me that apart from knowing NAV nothing else would be disclosed with such information. Still, I am going to live in fear for a while now.

    Dear Sir,

    Regards
    Naresh

    1. I am not sure if there is any solution to this . A agent has marked the policy as “regular” and not “single premium” plan ! .. so looks like there is no solution to this !

  47. MOHAN LAL says:

    Dear Sir

    I did not get any response form Reliance Life Insurance yet.

    Sec 6 (2) of IRDA (Protection of Policyholder’s Interest) Regulation
    2002 provides a 15 days ‘free look’ period from the date of receipt
    of policy document. As a policyholder, you can examine the insurance
    policy and opt out if you are not satisfied with any conditions/
    features mentioned in the policy.

    In case you opt out, the premium paid will be refunded after
    deductions for expenses like those for a medical examination, cost of
    proportionate risk cover, stamp duty etc.

    In case you opt out of an Unit Linked Policy during the free look
    period, you shall be entitled to an amount which should at least be
    equal to non-allocated premium plus charges levied by cancellation of
    units plus fund value at the date of cancellation less expenses, if
    you return the policy stating the reasons for your objection.

    I did not get my wife policies doucments form Reliance Life Insurance

  48. Hemanshu Parekh says:

    Hi every body.
    I would always suggest to register your policies on lic website . so that you receive an sms immediately on any transactions made. the other side lic must always sent verification letter regarding the surrender of policy to the life assured. Secondly never opt for recycling of policy, however good may be your agent. always get 5he proceeds into ur account and issue a fresh cheque for new policy.

    1. Thanks for that tip !

  50. Pearlraj says:

    Hi All,

    OMG, ashamed to bring to you kind notice that my mother and younger brother are the culprits, coz they only did forgery and utilized that money.

    1. Thanks for sharing that PearlRaj !

    2. Hi PearlRaj

      I want to make sure this does not happen with others, but I need more details on how this was possible ? How did they do the forgery ? What was the modus operandi ?

      Manish

      1. Pearlraj says:

        Dear Manish,

        Since the bond was in my mother custody they surrendered that policy with the forged signature.

        when the cheque was issued in my name, LIC agent by name Yeshoda has given a cunning idea to re-submit the cheque received in my name to LIC and another policy to issue for the same value for different name ( This process is called re-cycle procedure).

        Finally once the policy has been issued in their name. They can easily surrender that policy and utilized the policy amount.

        This is worst ever experience that money can change “ANY ONE”.

        1. Thanks for sharing that , I want to write an article now with this information so that others can make sure they dont suffer. I just need your confirmation if I should hide your name and identity or are you ok if I use your name ? I am ok with any option !

          Manish

          1. Pearlraj says:

            You can reach me @ 09886308631. I will co-operate with you to provide complete details.

  51. RAJESH NEGI says:

    not received the pa policy from sbi since july

  52. Pearlraj says:

    Hello All,

    I was shocked to know that someone has used my identity (signature) to surrender my LIC policies and utilized that money for their benefits.

    • Firstly, my policy # 363934899 was forged and surrendered on 29.01.2013, for which LIC has issued cheque # 926895 dtd 29.01.2013 amounted Rs. 49795/- without my knowledge or consent.

    • Secondly, my policy # 363934900 was forged and surrendered on 29.01.2013, for which LIC has issued cheque # 926894 dtd 29.01.2013 amounted Rs 49795/- without my knowledge or consent.

    • Thirdly, my policy # 364340197 was forged and surrendered on 07.10.2013, for which LIC has issued cheque 959220 amounted to Rs 35645/- without my knowledge or consent.

    I came to know about this when I received pre-closure letter from LIC after surrender of my third policy # 364340197. Immediately I raised written complaint to LIC about policies forgery on October 29, 2013.

    Further to my complaint, LIC recovered forged amount from the concern person and sent a covering letter along with the 4 cheques to me for the forged valve but not specifying the forged person name on the covering letter.

    Queries :
    • When the initial cheques was issued in my name, how the money has been utilized by someone else.
    • Even though requesting, LIC not mentioning forged person name in the covering letter after recovery of the forged amount.
    • Did LIC filed FIR against forged person? If not why?

    1. Pearlraj

      If LIC is not ready to mention the name of the person involved or does not want to file a case against him, I can only guess that its someone inside LIC only. Rest is on you now . If you want to file a case in Police ..

      Manish

    2. Thennarasu says:

      Where are your policy documents?without policy documents surrendering not possible in LIC and any other insurance companies.

    3. balvir chawla says:

      if you have the original policy documents how can the policy be surrendered
      if you dont have the policy then the insurance company would have issued a duplicate policy and for a dulpicate policy there would be paperwork, ask the insurance company for the same

    I have recently submitted the Insurance Claim for damages to my car while it was parked facing compound wall. I went to Shiva Motors in Shahibabad, Ghaziabad (UP). Mr. Balbir, the Claim Assessor of Reliance General Insurance Company Ltd. has very peculiar behaviour. He not only refused to admit claim but during argument he started abusing. Later the GICL too has refused claim initially on the ground of it was old dent, later they came up with argument that Car was driven by some driver etc. In short they have started inventing one after another false ground to deny. I hereby warn the car owners that please do not buy the insurance from Reliance General Insurance Company Ltd as they are like Cheat, fraud, can make forgery of your document, deny genuine claim, encourage their employees to abuse the customers so that they should forget claim etc. That is, besides paying premium to RGICL, you must be prepared to be humiliated by their Claim Assessor and other employees as they get huge salary for doing nothing except to abuse, behave arrogantly, speak like rowdies or slum dwellers.

    1. Thanks for sharing your case with us !

  60. Aryandev says:

    For the last 6 months or so I am receiving calls on my land line No. which is in the name of my spouse. That IRDA has declared a bonus against my old LIC policies. So may times, my wife has given them my mobile No. to talk to me directly, but they didn’t do so. But, regularly they have tried to contact me on landline.I turned a blind eye to such calls. Once, I received call from a person named Mr. Agarwal he told me that IRDA has declared a bonus of Rs.1,36,374/-. I told to note down the file No. The No. is TRP-Q007943CR. They also told me not to share this information with anyone or your agent otherwise he will take away 35% agent commission from your bonus. Then Mr. Agarwal transferred the phone to his so called senior Mr. Rajeev Mittal (He given his No. as 09650556102). He to told me to invest Rs. 20,000/- in Birla Sun life Insurance for 45 days only and on expiry of 45 days I will receive a DD dated 27/08/13 of Rs. 1,36,372/- and within 2 or 3 days I will get back my Rs.20000/- after deducting Rs.350/- as service charge. Sensing fraud I told him to call me after two days. After two days again I received a call from Mr. Rajeev Mittal from another No.011 203926742. I asked him to give me the website where I can locate my Bonus file. He replied that no such website is there. Only I can give you the bonus. Then I asked him that I am not available at Headquarter as such I will not be able to give you my details and chq of Rs. 20000/- then he asked me that he will contact me on some other day. Now, I search it on online and came to know about the fraud by finding comments from so many people. Thank god I have not fall prey to such calls.Here, I fell to understand that how they are demanding the cheque in the name of Birla Sun Life Insurance. The concern authorities are requested to take serious note of this and take stern action against such people or agencies.

  70. Arpit Sanghvi says:

    I have the mediclaim policy of Oriental Insurance Co. which i took through agent.
    But at time of renewal of this policy he took the check of Rs.4500/- in fevour of his own insurance agency.
    But when i check on portal of isurance company,premium paid to the company is just Rs. 2600 for same policy no.
    Now I want to take differance of money but he don’t agree to give it bcak and say that,differance money is mine commission.

    1. If he had not revealed that earlier it does not go with the agents code of conduct . Better complain to IRDA on that

  71. Sneha Deore says:

    Hi,

    I am Sneha Deore, holding a kotak mahindra super advantage plan (Policy No. 01907079), Every year i am paying 36,000/- as premium amount. I am paying the premium from last 36 months.

    when i have taken the policy, the sales executive & corresponding sales manager shared the information that just pay for 3 years. Later i can close the policy. But when i called up the customer care, the customer care executive is telling that i will not get 1st year premium amount. It means i will not get 36,000/- rupees. It’s completely cheating.. cheating… cheating…

    Even i asked some more information like can i stop paying after 3 years, then the customer care executive is telling that you can stop after 3 years. but they will deduct some charges from my existing fund value. It means i will get my money only if i pay up to 20 years. This is ridiculous. The customer care executive is telling that it’s indirectly mentioned in the agreement. How could a normal guy knows all these things before??? Now i just need my money back… i don’t want any profit.

    My sincere to request to all the guys who are taking the policies is, these guys are mentally harrasing the people.
    please take some action on these insurance companies.

    Thanks
    sneha Deore

    1. Sneha

      Yes, this is a case of mis-selling, however at the same time , you didnt do your personal job of studying what you are buying . All this is clearly written in the policy document , not indirectly. Check with the company now or file a case against them

      1. Sneha says:

        Hello Manishji,

        Thanks alot for reply,when for the first time I came to know about that i am cheated by the policy ,I did some search on Internet and found that many of common-people are cheated with same line and same commitments for same Plan, how come so many people get same commitments and still Company denies that they didn’t promised so..I really think there something very wrong with this plan,I wish to file case against them but I am not sure that I will get any justice as big company like this have enough time and money for all this..

        1. What proofs do you have that they cheated you ?

  72. Rajesh Tiwari says:

    Dear Sir,
    I want to complain for Bajaj Allianz , they have blocked my ID (IMD Code: 10033295) without informing me.It came to my notice only when i was discussing the matter for WC policy renewal (which was due on 07.03.13) with the branch manager on phone, in return he informed that since your id is blocked you will not get the commission of the policy.
    Kindly suggest how to proceed further.
    Regards
    Rajesh Tiwari

    1. You need to complain about this with IRDA !

  73. Mohammad Haseeb Chesti says:

    I have been misguided by some agents and have been assured that i will get a loan amount of Rs. 4,00,000/- which is to be repay after 15 years. For that i need to go through the insurance which will be treated as security to them. This has been made through Birla Life Insurance.

    Till today i am sending them mails that my policy be cancelled but i receive only one reply that the policy i have made can only be surrendered at the time of freelook period. When i didn’t know about the freelook period how should i know about the surrender policy. They stick to the point that Birla Life Insurance cannot help me. Yaar it means that whoever being cheated/misguided cannot get justice or any other alternate way. It is surprising to the Insurance and the IRDA.

    1. Do you think you did a right thing to buy it just on someone else word and didnt try to understand how things work ?

  77. Sunil Kumar says:

    Dear Sir,
    I have taken HDFC Saving Assurance Plan (SAP) three years back. The agent had misguided me, he told that I can pay three premium and then I can withdraw it after 5 years. But when I am asking to HDFC customer care center they are saying either I have to continue it for 10 years or if I surrender it then I will get 50% of paid amount except first premium.
    If any body surrendering their policy, what extra they are charging from company. I don’t understand that why company is deducting this much amount from policy. IRDA have to take some strict action against this policy and modify the rules in the policy.

    1. Sunil

      These are the standard rules with any endowment plan .. even in LIC . I think more than agent, its you who should be blamed, who didnt try to understand what you will get if stopped in between. If you had asked that one question some years back, this situation could have been avoided. thats my view

      1. neeraj says:

        manish,
        be serious when u reply, my be u r a expert, but if some one is asking with some hope, response properly.

        1. Hi Neeraj

          Which response are you referring to ? Which reply did you feel was not done properly ?

  78. Vijay CH says:

    Hi,

    My father had taken ICICI GSIP policy in sept 2011 of Rs. 20k pa for 15 years. Till now only the first premium has been paid and due to financial problems, he is not able to continue with the policy and wants to get the premium amount back. So when asked the insurer for policy surrender, they told that the policy can be surrendered only after 3 years i.e in 2014 by paying atleast 3 premiums in total and then only around Rs. 15k would be returned out of total Rs. 60k that would have been paid. So my question is why such a kind of horrible procedure is followed by the insurer. Why shouldn’t any customer could have the option for policy surrender to get back what all amount that he has been put in the policy atleast by deducting some kind of processing fee or getting back atleast 70% of the amount that has been put in the policy atleast after a few years. Is this any fraud or policy making to get a loss of such huge amounts to the customers? Why these kind of policies are forcing the customers to either continuing with the policy or to get such a huge loss of money?

    So please help me to get back my fathers money that has been put in the policy..
    Thanks & Regards,
    Vijay Kumar.

    1. Vijay

      Its a standard rule in all the policies . Why did your father buy it if he was not comfortable with these rules ? I know you will say he didnt knew or didnt enquire. The root of the problem is that only .

      1. Vijay CH says:

        Manish

        As you said that it is the standard rule in all the policies, but when I enquired with the customer care, they said that the premium amount would be returned for some policies after 5 years of the first premium if the policy is not continued. But for endowment plans, its the different case they said. So my question is why the amount is returned for general policies and why not for endowment policy?

        1. Yes, endowment is different and ULIP is different .. yours is a ULIP and in those policies , 5 yrs is the lock in .

  79. ira paul says:

    Dear
    sir, my reference number 10564367.with reference to your letter date 08.02.13. I beg to bring the following to your notice for your kind and favorable consideration . at the time of taking the above policy i told to your agent that i was bring to take 3 polices for a 5-7 years . i have paid one cheque for 75000/( for 3 polices ) cheque no- 558462.bank of boroda, But this time from the One policy’s that’s is for long term plan. which i never told to your agent and with your manager.
    Futher your agent misguided me and told me that i can withdran partially / surrender after 3 years but i find there one policy was wrong selling to me. i find from the policy details that there is no provision for partial withdrawal in case i surrender after 3 years.
    at this time my age is 78 years(d.o.b -01.11.1945) i cant suffer this policy not for long term. it is a great financial loss. i have to suffer in this hard days, in my this age.
    you will approciate sir, that people invest in the hope that thet willreceived considarable return after a period of time. on the money they invest which is totally absent in this policy .i have to suffer because of agent , unifill misrepresantable in view of the foregoing , i would request you to allow me to shift to other available plan. under which i can surrender after 3-4 years.
    which i shall remain ever grateful to you.

    Thanking you

    my friend has taken a Life insurance policy from HDFC , he got policy bond and now he feels that, he may do not continues due to his financial problems, than he went to HDFC life office for FREE LOOK canalization within 10days of received policy bond.
    now what can he do to get the premium paid amount. please suggest.

    1. Just ask him to give back the policy document and tell HDFC bank that he wants to give back the policy, he should be able to get the premium soon !

  81. dimpy handa says:

    i am a citizen of India and belongs from a middle class family after my marriage i got in mind that if any emergency i would have to admit my family member in hospital, at that time but i can’t able to match my finances with the hospital so i gone for this medic claim policy for my safe living, unfortunately my wife got admitted in the hospital and she is suffering from accute pains in her head and doctors advised patient have to admit for some test for there doubts to be solved so i gone on reception and asked them that i have a medic claim cashless card can this can be in panel for the treatment that advised by the doctors in the hospital they said yes its under panel and than again i called on customer care on my cards back i seen they also approved me that u can admit her we will get approvals soon for ur patient soon. the doctor started treatment under panel of icko Tokyo card panel for this they required M R I test for the patient and waiting for the approvals that they can start the treatment i called on an on for the approvals they said the hospital is unnecessary using you and ur policy we will not able to approve for even a single pane. After a long fight the assured approval is 8000 for the treatment and said to me that we will approved finally on the discharged of the patient what is this non sense i am facing by the insurance company i am mentally torched is this incident is right which has been faced by me finally. kindly clear my query as soon as possible i am very much worried about this………..

    1. Looks like you hospital misused your situation because you had a medical policy .. let me get experts to comment on this situation on what are the rights on consumer in this case .

  83. Gaurav Joshi says:

    I bought a GSIP policy from ICICI pru life 3 months ago.I have an account with ICICI direct and i bought this through my relationship manager who gave me wrong advises that i should balance my portfolio and invest in it as it is a debt instrument. Based on their advice i invested heavily int it 1.5 lakh p.a.. Now after researching about the policy on my own i realized they cheated on me and show very inflated and hefty returns which were absolutely wrong. I put up a request to cancel the policy but they declined based on that it out of free look period.

    Please advise whether i should follow their grievance addressable mechanism and complain at next level explaining them the complete story how i got cheated or i should launch the complain to IRDA?

    1. You can do all this, but is there any proof for what you are saying ? You can make up a story also ! .. I am saying this because there has to be some kind of proof that this happened . Some email from them or something on official records !

      1. Gaurav Joshi says:

        Yes i have the excel sheet that they gave me that show how the returns are calculated. But nothing other than that.

        1. If you can prove that it was given to you by bank , then you can file a lawsuit .

    Dear Sir,
    I, the undersigned Mr Benedito Gonsalo Pinto, would like to state the following:
    When an Employee of HDFC Bank Ltd, Calangute Branch, Goa, approached me for one time investment.
    I agreed But the employee namely Kedar Phadte instead if doing it as a one time Investment did it as a Yearly premium for ten Years.
    When the renewal notice came I approached the branch and the same employee told me that it was done in a yearly option. When I enquired with him he said that one time Investment was not available.
    So I approached the Manager and since I was not satisfied with the answer I approached the higher authority and got my complaint no as 01000000127396.
    I’m continuously getting letters from them saying that it will resolved in Fifteen days But for the last six months the issue is not resolved.
    I attach herein a copy of my complaint letter asking the refund of my premium and the copy of the response letter send to me by HDFC Bank.
    Please do intervene into the matter and help me in refunding of my premiums.

    My Investment option is as follows

    AMOUNT Rs 100000
    Cheque no 53778
    Date 19/09/2008

    AMOUNT Rs 50000
    Cheque no 4274
    Date 22/08/2008

    Practically speaking I’m an illiterate person and have to depend on someone else for help.Even to do this complaint some Good Person has helped me in this.

    Kindly do look into the matter at the earliest to resolve my matter.

    Dear Manish sir.

    Recently my dad got a call from 1409800430. He was unable to hear clearly from which company the call was, but i sounded something like IDF ( some thing like that) and the lady asked whether he has any ULIP with LIC and had he requested for withdrawl.She was processing the same issuance of money for that withdrawl request.
    My father is not highly educated and in late past he has investment with LIC.But to the bset of our knowledge he DID NOT REQUESTED FOR WITHDRAWL WITH LIC. He told he did not remember any such policy.She disconnected call.
    When i tried to google with 1409800430, i landed to one complaint of mr.’Anand Mittal March 19, 2012 at 3:17 pm’ on this webpage where he mentioned getting call from same number. You replied Mr.Anand that it might be a fraud.

    Can you please tell me whether 1409800430 is a fraudulent number?

    1. Ok if you got a call from some number asking to confirm something you have not done , it just means you need to tell them NO . How does it matter if its a fraud call or not .

    Respected Sir/Madam,
    I have a Health Policy NO 102000/48/11/8500002122 in National Insurance Company Ltd with cashless facility. In the time emergency like M.I.(Heart Attack),CVA/RTA ect. why a policy holder will pay some amount to a hospital while the person having the cashless facility. After encashment of the premium cheque why from the insurance company not given the clearance certificate from their side to avoid the hazard of TPA notification etc.
    Please look into the matter because all the time may the person don’t have such money to deposit for treatment.

    Subject: For complaining of fraud against Max Newyork Life Insurance company
    (Policy No. : 704464965)

    Dear Sir,

    With reference to above subject, I would like to say that I took an insurance policy of Max Newyork Life Insurance in 2008 for Rs. 25,000. At the time of inception of the policy I am being told that I have to pay only three premiums in these policy and after completing three years I can withdraw our amount with handsome returns.
    But agent, Mrs Nitu Lalawat(Agent Code : 210525) slyly & with greed, filled the column for the term of policy as ‘annual’ in which I have to make minimum three annual payments. This she did it only to get huge commissions.
    Today, when I ask the policy NAV, I found the fund value as only Rs 61000/- against the deposited 75,000, means a total loss of Rs 14,000/=
    Except to this when I went to surrender my policy, the co. informed me there will be 35% deduction too of total value since I didn’t pay five minimum installments. Sir, I ‘ve been inhumanly cheated. I am unemployed and financially poor; I can’t bear this huge loss(14000/- + 35% of 61000/-).
    Further I was not informed of the exorbitant charges the co. levy on my investment.
    Sir, my request is to please take action against this fraudulent company. Since they hide the fact & do incompetent practice. Also they exploit the poor people like us.
    Please sir, take strict action against Max Newyork Life Insurance.

    Pl. do the needful at the earliest in this regard.
    Thank you very much in advance & look forward for your immediate and favorable response on the issue.

      I have the Exactly the same complaint as Ms. Kalpana Nainawati against Max New york Life Insurance. Not only was I missold this policy but my signatures on the policy has been forged which has come to light now. I have filed a complaint with the police after failing to get any favorable response from the company itself. This company should be punished for fooling people.

      1. So what happened next ?

        1. Shaista Saifee says:

          The police are investigating the case. They got the original policy papers from the company after which it was clear that my signatures were fake. They would be getting a handwriting expert to confirm.
          I just wish I wouldn’t have to go through all this. I have been suffering a lot of mental stress since the time I found out the truth behind this policy.
          All I wanted was to invest my savings and I never thought that such a reputed company like Max New York would stoop to such levels to rob people. I am just a homemaker. I have paid Rs 75000 as premium fr three years and was assured good returns at the end of the 5th year which would have been December 2012. And now I have come to know that the policy is a long term one and I would be getting returns to the amount of Rs 4000 per annum for 15 years, from the time I turn 60 till the age of 75 years. I am 38 yrs now. This doesn’t make sense at all. This is not the policy I signed up for.
          Regards,
          Shaista Saifee

          1. You should have done your homework before your signed up , now file a case against the company

          2. shambhavi says:

            Same case happened with my father. He took a monthly premium policy from pnb metlife by believing an agents fake details that it is one time premium policy.We complained to the pnb but they reverted that the policy cannot be cancelled & they have send the detailed policy,terms & conditions documents/prospectus to my father.
            I agree but my concern is the policy documents send were all in English language which my father could not understand and trusted the employee’s fake details and invested in the policy.
            The Grievance Redressal Team of pnb metlife wrote to us that they cannot cancel the policy and we have an option to surrender the policy in which my father will have to pay the premium for 3 years regularly.As he cannot pay the premium for 3 years due to financial reasons,the surrendering of the policy is not possible.
            The worst part is that I complained in IRDA and dropped several mails but they did not reply even to a single one. What are the other options available to get back our money?? It has been 6 months since I am trying to solve the issue.

            1. Hi shambhavi

              Sadly, I dont see a legal recourse in this issue . As your father has signed the documents, its assumed that he understands whats written there.

    Subjest :– Complain against ICICI Lombard General Insurance their surprising iresposibility as well as insulting attitude towards myself, a customer of them since January 2012 after buying a NANO CX car from M/S R.D. Motors Raghunathpur, Kolkata with a certificate cum policy No. 3001/TM283680/01/000valid up-to 23/01/2013.

    My car no. WB 26R 0125 met with an accident on last 12th April 2012. The car was highly damaged. On 14th April 2012 I informed them about the accident placed my insurance claim through E-Mail. But getting no reply, again on 19th April 2012 I sent another E-Mail. I got their reply E-Mail on 19th April 2012 in which they assured me to inspect and take necessary action within 72 hours. But nobody came. Again their Customer Support Team sent another mail in which they gave me one ID number to be used in all further correspondence and said that by 1st May 2012 definitely they would come and take action. This time also I got no result. Nobody came and no action was taken from their end. Lastly they sent another E-Mail in which they promised to come and to take action within 48 hours. But the result is the same as before.

    However, for your kind in formation, I am a partially handicapped person and for my daily activities car is essential. Without car I have to hire taxi and daily I have to bear an extra expense of five to six hundred rupees as taxi fare.. all these are happening only due to the negligence of ICICI Lombard General Insurance.

    Now being too much harassed I earnestly request you to kindly to intervence into this matter and to take such action so that I may get fruitful remedy including compensation as early as possible.

     Dear Sir,
    I took a life Insurance policy from M/S. Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance Policy in 2009 vide my policy no 01358351.

    I deposited Rs.12,000/- as first year premium for the above policy but I have not yet received the subject policy document. In this regard, I requested by writing to the company to provide me the policy document. They informed vide their letter no Nil dated 08th Jan,2010 that my policy document had sent to my mailing address through speed post on 14th Oct,2009 through POD number ED882051269IN. I enquired the above POD from General Post office, Dehradun whereabouts my letter. The GPO informed that the above POD number is not the number of any post office of India being issued as POD.

    The issue again I informed to the company and requested to sent the policy document but thereafter no reply I have been received since then in spite of my repeated request and reminder.

    Moreover, the company has facilitated only a single toll free number 1800-209-8800 where I have lodged time and again my compliant but all were in vain.

    Due to the above circumstances and without policy document, I could not take further risk to deposit further premium.

    As per the total dealing of the company shows that the company is simply cheating of heard earn money of general poor people by giving the name of IRDA.

    Your good office is hereby requested to take an immediate action with the M/S. Kotak Mahindra Old Mutual Life Insurance to refund my money deposited as premium of Rs.12,000/- along with three years interest for the same as they did not issue the required policy documents to my present following address;.

    Thanking in advance To,

    Subject : Claim of the paid amount.

    This is in reference to my previous correspondence done to your office date 28-01-2012 and reply from your office, date of which is not specified on the letter but I received it on 10-02-2012 dated.

    For your ready reference I will give you the brief details of my problems.

    My 1st Policy No. is NICL/61/01260/149/003/1998-199
    And another policy
    My 2nd Policy No. is NICL/61/01259/149/003/1998-199

    I have taken this JANTA policy on 09-04-1999 and the maturity date of the same is 08-04-2010.

    I do agree that the company had terminated the policy via the notice in the new paper. In this reference I would like to know various details which are as under
    1. Have the company taken any consent of policy holder before the cancellation of the policy.

    2. Does the company keep the record like Policy holder Name and Address, Contact number ect.
    a. If yes then why company have not taken any initiative to informing the policy holder before terminating or cancelling the policy.
    b. If No, then what if we don’t use the newspaper or any other public media by which the policy holder get the information of the same.

    3. Even if the company have given the notice in the public media, then why the company has not taken any interest of the payment to the unclaimed policy and its holders.

    4. Even if, I agree upon the above mentioned point with the company and its policy then dose it means that company is authorized for not making the payment to the policy holder.
    I guess No
    In my case the company have taken the amount of Rs. 1170/- + Rs. 780/- that comes to Rs. 1950/-. But have returned my only Rs. 90/- + Rs 115/- i.e. Rs. 205/-, I always have the right to ask that if the company has taken the dictator type of decision of terminating the policy and it is fully the decision of the company than why I am the one who bare the loss of Rs. 1745/- plus the interest of the same.

    5. Not only that but I had a major accident on 20-12-2009 and had huge expense during those period and according to the policy terms and conditions I was eligible of getting that amount to be paid by the company so that dose add insult to the injury.

    Now I will try to give you some brief detail of my personal life. I am a 72 Year old person and living on my retired life on the pension. I am suffering from a severe money crisis. I do plea you to make the payment on the fire footing basis. So it dose a world of good to my financial position.

    Expecting your affirmative and prompt steps and reply.

    Thanks in advance for taking some personal intense on my case.

    Dear Manish Ji,

    My late bother in law was holding a salary account with Axis bank. Axix bank had given an insurance of 2 Lac on this salary account.
    Last year in February my bother in law met with an axidenet and he passed away. We claimed for this insaurance amount after his death. Bank gave us some papers to fill and submit in the branch of Bajaj Alianz Co. We submitted the same. After some they again gave us the same papers of other insurance company of New India Insurance. We again submitted these pepers in Sep 2011.
    But till date we have not received any reply either from bank or from insurance company. After regular follow up with branch we got some telephone nos of the insurance company. We contacted them in this regard but they told that they did not received any papers. Then we contacted the Axis branch and they said that they can not do any this in this regard because their duty is only up to forward the desired documents in the concern insaurance company. After that they can not do any thing.
    Now we are not getting proper response from bank. You are requested to guide us so that we can get the our right.

    Regards
    Narender

    Hi Manish,
    I had recently opted for SBI shubh nivesh whole life with a premium of Rs 50000 for a period of 5 years.When i got the policy document the sum assured was 195000 on maturity with a small bonus and on death i get 195000.Do you think i have opted the right plan.
    Also could you help in choosing a right ULIP plan from any good insurance company and what duration would it be worth to invest in which would yield me good returns.I am assuming dividend payout would be better than growth?

    1. Vinod

      You pay 2,50000 in 5 yrs and get 195000 + a small bonus .. By any standard , its idiotic 🙂 . We dont recommend ULIP at all .. just start SIP in some funds

    2. vijay garg says:

      if it is under free look in period..cancel it immediately..otherwise check whether you had signed policy illustration chart.. it might be possible that agent forged your sign on that chart..if it is, then lodge a complaint with company and get your money back…please invest into SIP for long term growth..

    hi manish
    i took a policy from tata-aig lic. the original policy bond has been received after 11 months. i submitted the same for free look period cancellation after 7 days from receipt of the policy bond. but tata-aig lic authrities rejected the claim for cancellation. regarding this matter what is the IRDA rule for free look period cancellation.
    pl give ur advice.

    1. Mohan

      You should be right on your part , Free look up starts from the day you get your policy in hand , ask them to consider it or else you will complain to IRDA and insurance ombudsman and then go to consumer forum , tell them and do it if they dont budge !

    I have taken the Annual LIC Policy No: 62299352 through LIC agent in the year 1985. The policy was over by the year 2010.

    I have been regular in my annual premium (Rs.1718/-) payment for this policy for 25 years till it got over.

    I wrote a letter to the concerned branch of LIC and also sent a mail to the grievances cell regarding fate of the policy taken by me and also the non-payment of the amount.

    There is no response from either LIC Malakpet Branch, Tirumala Towers, Judges

    Thanking you,

    Dear Sir,
    I purchased 2 No. policies on dated 11.06.2008 and 12.06.2008 on annual premium two lakhs and one lakh (half yearly payment mode) respectively from HDFC SLIC. At the time of purchase of both policies at my home, I was committed by the BDM that I will got 60 times risk cover of the annual premium and lock in period will be 3 years.
    I got both the policy documents No.11923188 and 11931210 in the last week of July 2008 and observed that the terms and conditions were not fulfilled in the policies as per committed by BDM at the time of purchased. Next day I went to BDM with agent and asked him for misecommitment. He told me that due to some communication gap it has happened. He assured me that the HDFC will issue me new policies within few days duly rectified. He told me that no need to refund the policies documents. He advised me to hold the policies with me till received new policies by assuring that the old policies will automatically be discontinued after issued new policies.
    After few days I again went to BDM but he was not in the branch and it comes to known that the concern BDM has been left out the HDFC. Other officials answered me since the case was handling by that BDM, they are not able to rectify the policies. Since the date I am continuously in touch with HDFC but no solution is being carried out in my case. I have already sent complaint to IRDA 3 – 4 times by mail. I have lost my mental peace and valuable time also.
    You are requested kindly take necessary against HDFC and arrange to refund my money as earlier as possible.
    Thanks….. Preetam Singh, C-6/7, ONGC Colony, Dehradun(Uttarakhand) Ph-0135- 2755462 & 2796034, Mob.-09435715845.

    1. Preetam

      Sadly .. Its tough to do anything in this case . You were mis-sold , but your trust has costed you. The fraud was done by the BDM and not the HDFC per se . It was done for commissions only and its clear becuase the BDM made sure that you dont return the policy till he gets his commission . Did you ever enquire about the policy terms and condition before you bought it ? Why did you trust the BDM? Did you ask him to give things in writing ?

  118. Sumit Tiwari says:

    This is regarding fraud done my Aegon Religare with me. This is about the way they approach customer to take policy. I am currently owning a life insurance policy from Aegon Religare which I had taken due to some fake commitment by Aegon Religare Insusrance company agents.
    In last December month I had got a call from the number 0120-3050600 saying that we are from IRDA. If u have any issue with any of your last policy or any issue with any of insurance company we will resolve your issue. We are from IRDA and we resolve customer issues. So I had one issue with one of my last policy with Birla Sun Life. I had taken a life insurance policy from in Feb 2008 of Rs 36000 with 3 years locking period. I had paid only first install n failed to pay next two instalments due to some financial problem. After 3 years in 2011 when I approached to Birla Sun Life they said that my policy is lapsed and I will not get any amount and my whole Rs 36000 has been recovered under some fee for this policy. After that I had just forgotten that loss.
    In last December 2011 I got a call from IRDA (from number 0120-3050600 saying they are from IRDA) saying that your last policy premium will be recovered as we are from IRDA and we will give one regulatory to Birla Sun Life to return your money back but I’ll not get this amount directly to my account. What I need to do is to take a policy from Aegon Religare for the same amount Rs 36000. This policy will be actually for 16 years with 10 years locking period. But Due to IRDA intervention your policy will be for only 3 months locking period. Your first year premium will be paid by amount from Birla Sun Life policy and I need to pay another Rs 36000 as current year premium and I need to pay next year premium and then 4th year I can withdraw the amount which will be around 1.6L due to some calculation. Over and above that they committed that company will pay agent commission to my account which will be 25% of yearly premium. They will bypass agent from my policy.
    Every time whenever I got call from Aegon Religare I got a call from them that I have to just listen what they are saying. I don’t have to disclose anything any discussion which is happening with IRDA. IRDA will take care everything. You will get one statement mentioning all Agent commission and your last policy premium from Birla Sun Life.
    On 5th Jan I got the policy document and it was a normal policy for 16 years with 10 years blocking period. When I approached the same person he said a separate statement will be generated for you with all the details as communicated. Also they are very perfectionist. They were continuously in contact with me till 18th Jan that I’ll get a separate statement. They know that I can cancel the policy within 15 days of receiving the documents so they were contacting me so that I’ll be convinced and cannot cancel the policy. But after 20th Jan they are neither picking my call nor calling me.
    So they have found a new way by picking weak vain of customer by giving promise that old lapsed policy amount will be recovered as well you will get agent commission. I had taken this policy bcaz of tenure will be 3 years as well as I’ll get agent commission with last policy lapsed amount.
    The person whom I was in continuous contact was Anjali Oberai. Her mobile number is 09999773643 and direct landline number is 0120-4396848. I have called many times on these two numbers to her. Before 20th Jan she entertained all my calls but now she is not picking my call. Also same policy benefits were explained to me by Neha Chaturvedi one of senior person of IRDA from Hyderabad. Anjali Oberai represented Neha Chaturvedias senior person from IRDA from Hyderabad and she came to NCR for some time.
    Many times I had doubt on them but due to greed of recovery of my loosed last policy amount and getting agent commission I was cheated by them.
    I know it’s completely my fault. But I would like to take in focus of all so that nobody can be cheated.

    I was holding ICICI Prudential Life Time Super policy (Policy number: 05225842) and have already paid two premiums. The third premium was due for payment in July 2009. Due to delay, there were frantic calls from ICICI Bombay office for making the payment. On 28th December 2009 when called again from ICICI Prudential Bombay office, I requested them to get the premium collected as assured by their officials at the time of issuing the policy. I was told by their office that a representative would come on 29-12-2009. On 29th Mr. K N Pandey mobile No 9369760 a representative of ICICI prudential came and after verifying his credential from Dehli office in-charge Mr. Mratunjay Sharma Mobile No 09310641728 a cheque for Rs.50000/- was given. He demanded that a photo and a signed copy of form was required to get the lapsed policy restored. these were given to him.

    Later on, finding that instead of a receipt of the premium paid for the old policy (policy number: 05225842),a new policy “LifeStage Assure Pension- policy number: 13129468” was delivered. This was issued under forged signature.(photocopy attached)
    Soon after the receipt of the new policy in 3rd week of jan-2010, the matter was reported to the company’s representative Mr. K.N. Pandey and his immediate superior Mr. Akhilesh Gupta Financial adviser of ICICI prudential Mob. no 09838506002 and Delhi office Mr. M Sharma.
    They accepted their mistake and I was assured that the new policy will be closed and the amount of the premium will be transferred in my old policy no: 05225842.I trusted them since they begged saying that if the matter was reported, they were to lose their jobs.

    But, having failed in my efforts the matter was reported to the chairman ICICI Prudential in September 2010. I never got the reply but when I presented all the documents before ICICI Prudential Manager at Kanpur office I was given a copy of reply sent by the Bombay office in Sept 2010.
    (photocopy attached)

    The local office after having gone through the records and finding my complaint genuine, they again sent the complaint to Bombay office and I was asked to wait. Again there has been no communication from Bombay office but on my approach to local office I have been given a copy which is ditto of the previous reply.(photocopy attached)

    On the advice of local branch manager to save my one Lac rupees deposited earlier in policy No. 05225842, I have borrowed the money to deposit Rs ONE Lac i.e. two years premium to get the policy revived. The amount has been debited from my account on 26/05/2011 but I have not yet received any communication regarding revival of my policy.

    The fraudulently (under forged signature) issued new policy No 13129468 is still hanging in abeyance and my Rs.50000.00 is at stake. Since I am an old lady with meager source of earning I cannot afford to operate two policies and that’s why I have been trying to get the amount of the second policy credited for the old policy.

    Since now, I have come to know about IRDA can help in such matters I therefore request your good office to look in to my case and help me to get justice.

    Yours faithfully,

They are present cheque before loan amount deposite in our account. We are daily complaining to HDFC Bank to freelock the policy and refund whole amount. They are not taking any action to refund and wasting our time from 18/11/2011; as once policy papers are ready it is not possible to cancel the policy. they are not giving form of freelock. they are also not telling charges deducted yearly and daily basis from our premium account. They are cheating us.

    Is there any rule or noms made by indian govt.,RBI or insurance companies to make policy first to get loan.
    So, we need help from you. Please kindly help us to continue our business casually and easily. Thank you.

        There are many ways customers seek redressal on their complaints, via IRDA or Ombudsman.

        What about agents? Very often, even good agents are fed up with the way their insurance companies work. No response from companies on their request submitted in regards to their agency license and so on..

        Is it possible to file RTI on pvt insurance companies? If not, what is the way out.

        – Employees can approach their HR departments for complaints
        – Customers can approach company nodal officer
        – But there are no professional body within the company or in the government side to address grievances of agents. ( Many Agents usually serve the company more number of years than any employees and in many cases they play a major role in insurance business all over but still neglected by Insurance council and Regulatory authorities.

        What to do in these circumstances?
        Salm

        1. No you cant put RTI for pvt companies, but you can file it for IRDA , and then give the RTI letter reply to pvt companies, you can also approach insurance ombudsman

          1. Salm says:

            Manish,

            IRDA never reply to the mail send by agents. I and few of my co agents experienced it. It is a waste of time..

            I cannot file RTI with IRDA or Ombudsman because the primary issue ( Not approving my agency request) is not with them but with the pvt companies.

            Ombudsman will not entertain agents and they simply say their body is meant for sorting out customer issues not issues related to Insurance agents.

            Now what I can do sort out the issue. Request was forwarded in July 2012 not almost one year and it is still pending. It is worst than government organization.

            1. In that case you need to complain to POLICE on this

After seeing all above complaints from investors it is wonder how Govt is allowing this type of cheatings made by HDFC and other companies.It seems Govt ie IRDA is collecting deposit of Rs.100 crores from insurance companies and giving lisence to run. IRDA can settle to affected persons from deposit amount and it will be a lesson to companies .IRDA, please help us.BEWARE OF HDFC’ S FRAUD.

    1. S Rajkumar

      Do you think it was a secure investment ? If yes, then you have partial fault in this , or I must say a lot of fault .

      It was a equity product with high costs to it , which was cut and then markets went down because of which your fund has also gone down . So dont blame companies becasuee you didnt buy the product properly without understanding what is it .

      I agree with you that IRDA is not doing a lot of what they should do , but thats secondary

    Hi

    (Ref No 1101370331 Prospect no 8333301P of Apollo Munich Health Insurance)
    I have taken a 3 policies from Apollo Munich Health Insurance on 20 sept 2011 with a total amount of Rs 10268 through cheque for myself , my wife and my daughter
    Now i got a call from the same advisor today ie. on 21 sept that they can’t issue me the policy for my daughter as she is not more than 90 days.

    So the discount of 10% is been cancelled on the other two policy as it is only possible if a person takes more than two policies as told by your insurance advisor to me.
    So now my amount is been changed for the 2 policies which i have taken for myself and my wife.

    Again i have to pay separately for my daughters policy when she is more than 90 days ie on 9 oct 2011for which i would be charged Rs 1500 more than what the advisor suggested earlier
    Now the most important thing is without informing these things to me on 21 sept 2011 the insurance advisor logged in 2 policies ie. mine and my wife’s policy without my consent just to increase the number of policies in his monthly target
    This is very upsetting for me as these policies always lies on utmost faith.
    If this is happening the very next day of taking the policy i wonder how these people will support us in our ill situations

    However i have stopped my cheque no 575999 of IOB dated 20 sept 2011

The cheque was collected after more than 3 months.In the mean time my policy was lapsed without any information and renewed after the cheque was collected.I started complaining to the branch, the helpline and lastly at the grievance cell of the company but no one is ready to listen.Am I at fault or by any law it is the responsibility of the insurer to get the cheque cleared in time.I registered myself at IGMS but could not lodge my complaint because the site is not accepting any branch code.MY policy no is 0047113452 dt 30/03/2007 and the main branch is at ARIHANT COMPLEX VARANASI U.P 221010 and the cheque was deposited at their branch at RENUKOOT ,Distt.

    This person had approached me for a Life Insurance policy and had some papers signed by me. The Policy never materialized, but the papers (EPIC, PAN Card, Photo) was used to take out a License in my name. In fact, I was working in Bihar Sharif when the IRDA Exam was taken.
    A more serious and criminal act on part of Mr. Debrup Banerjee was to open an account with the Axis Bank in my name using the same papers.
    SMS alerts from MetLife has brought these misdeeds of Mr. Debrup Banerjee to my notice.

    SUB : COOLING OFF/CANCELLATION OF POLICY NO 346531203 & 346531046

    1. This is in connection with my Jeevan Surbhi Policy numbers : 346531203 & 346531046. I wish to cool off/cancel both my policies due to the following reasons.

    (a) Till date, I have not got my policy bond documents neither stamped nor unstamped for my personal analyasis due to which I always remained in ambiguity regarding the returns of the policies.

    (b) I am very much unaware and unsatisfied by the terms and conditions of these policies.

    (c) Moreover the amount of returns assured by LIC agent through whom I took the policy are ficticous, and much more than the actuals. (copy of pamphlet attatched) e.g. The amount of final Terminal bonus assured is Rs 10 lacks on each policy which is not factual as the aprox amount comes out be Rs 6,56,000 on each policy (41/1000 x 20 x 800000)

    2. Since last one month I have been writing to Senior branch manager LIC of India Branch office
    93, cemetory Road Mehta KI CHAAL,MHOW MP ,from where my policy is issued but there is no response, to the extent I have written to RM CRM zonal office Bhopal and also spoken on phone regarding the case but of no use.

    3. With regards to this you are requested to direct LIC OF INDIA to do the needful & cool off/cancel my policies at the earliest & credit back the amount paid by me as the 1st premium of Rs 1,47,314.

        Hi Mr manish, I would like to give you an update on my case.
        As both my policies were assigened policies through my PF account ie CDA(O) pune, I got my policy bond documents released from CDA as per directions of CRM Pune LIC for submitting back to 987 pune branch to complete the cancellation process, but after that no action for cancellation has taken place, when i spoke regarding this they straight away said that case has been fwd up.
        Meanwhile I also got a shock of my life when recently i saw the original policy bond documents and what i found was that the signatures on the bond documents were not mine but were duplicated by someone else which is when i realised why the original policy documents did not reach me till date untill i got them released for the cancellation process.
        I immediately informed LIC regarding this ,now they say they are writing to the agent for explanation.
        This seems to be totally unprofessional on LIC’s part,it seems they are really not interested in cancelling my policy and hell bent on not returning my money.
        Nobody till date has replied to me in positive manner, i see consumer court as my last option to get some justice.
        Infact i would sound little harsh but till date I have also corresponded to IRDA on several occassions but of no use.

        1. Major

          Thanks for the Update . I can understand there is no “IcchaSakti” from LIC people on this issue , just like govt on Lokpal . Please contact editor@moneylife.in if you want to highlight your case if you want .Keep asking LIC to rectify your policy

    I Nand Kishore Garg (policy no: 122790386) have taken an ulip plan policy on 14thmarch 2005 from Roopnagar Branch of LIC Delhi and have paid a premium of RS.30000 one time premium. On the same date I have taken the same policy for my wife Mrs.Renu Garg (policy no.122790302) of same amount i.e. Rs.30000.We have surrendered that policy in 14th March 2010. We have not got the money back yet.
    The computer of respected department of lic is showing wrong ulips due to which my amount has been decreased to RS.35 only that is not possible. But the same computer is showing the correct ulips for my wife policy and her amount has increased to RS.63000 approximately.
    The case is pending from last 1.5 Years from March 2010 To May 2011. We have fulfilled all their demands and documents but still we have not got any satisfactory answers.
    We have submitted following documents:
    1) Bond Policy
    2) Bank Statement
    3) Policy D.O.C
    4) Policy Surrender Form
    5) Passbook Copy

    I have visited their office many times at least 50 times. I have also talked to the Manager Mr. Mahesh Chandra and his respected staff member Madan Lal. I had regularly been calling in their department and they have been delaying my work. I feel very disappointed because of the delay and inefficiency of my work.
    Mr.Arya Divisional Officer of LIC is not responding to our complaint and making new demands at each call. I am very disappointed from him as well.

    I have submitted all my documents and I am not having any other document now to fulfill their demands. Please consider all my problems and take some strict action against it. Kindly help me get back my hard earned money.
    LIC should mean what the say. Jeevan ke saath bhi jeevan ke baad bhi.

    Thanking you

    Birla Sunlife swindled 25k from me. Initially when I took the policy everything and everybody was fine. I opted for a quarterly payment. I never got any reminders via mail or email or SMS with regards to premium payment due to which the policy was in dormant status till I made the payment. However even when the payment was made they kept my policy dormant stating I need to fill out COI form which was filled by me and sent to them umpteen number of times. So except for the first payment the rest of the payment that I made for three years was with them without being invested in the market(ULIP). When I paid the premium for 2010, I cross verified and filled in the COI in their office and submitted the same. After a week I get a letter stating the policy is dormant since they have not received COI which made me to give and in september I surrendered the policy expecting the amount to be returned, to my surprise I received a letter stating Birla sunlife does not owe me anything as payment made by me approx 12.5k/annum*2 = 25K towards the admin/misc charges. I lost my cool and called up their customer care and shouted for an hour and asked them to send me an itemized billing towards which the amount was adjusted and till date I have not received anything. This was my first insurance policy and had to undergo a horrible experience. I am not sure if I will get money back even if I lodge a complaint and should it be done with IRDA or Consumer court.

    1. Prashanth

      Thanks for sharing your experience . The first myth I want to break is that it was not your first insurance policy , It was an Investment Product 🙂 (Pun intended)

      I am not sure how much will you get , becasue I am not sure about the allocation charges . Definately there was a deficiancy in service by the company and you should complain for it to IRDA , do it soon

      yes.in meetings they all talk about customer satisfaction, core values, ision and to be the most trusted/valued company.
      but actions are oppsite.If the agent/ sales manager disappears no one helps the busy innocent policyholders.
      so the industry joke is these fools have NO time to read ,visit/call the office while taking the policy so they have enough time to do all this at the END .
      Anyhow sorry to hear all the pain.

      1. Srinivasu

        Good comment , I agree that a common man has no time at the time of taking something , but has ample time and energy to fight at the time of closing the policy

    For Insurance Purpose, take only “Term Insurance”, for 1.0 Cr of “Sum Insured” Premium is appx 10,000/- per year.

  169. Sanjay Sharma says:

    LIC has initially got “Biased Approval from Government of India”, based on which other Insurance Companies also took approval, wherein, almost 4-5 Premiums are “swallowed and robbed in day light” by Insurance Companies, that is why every day one new Foreign investor is investing in this business model, wherein they legally loot Public and become rich on public money.
    This is most profitable business in India. Agents gets 1st year: 40-50% of 1st premiums; later till policy terms @10-15% of 1st premiums. They earn Huge Commissions. An Investor should check the Sales Illustration to confirm the facts. GoI framed /approved such “Anti- Public” policies, wherein Public is looted at fullest. Govt. of India should be ashamed for giving approval for this type of business model. At end of the day Investor / Public may get returns ~ 2 % on total premiums (subject, full premiums for full terms are paid) or will loose his Money (minimum 5 Premiums).

    RECOMMENDATION: DO NOT GET TRAPPED & TAKE ANY ULIP / INSURANCE POLICY FROM ANY INSURANCE COMPANY.

    respected sir

    Regarding the mail send by you – ie from – IRDA- Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:51:15 IST – WHERE I HAVE ASKED TO COMMENT ON THE COMPALINT OF SONIA NEGI. yes OF COURSE I HAVE REFERRED HER THAT IF SHE WANT HER MONEY TO BE RETURNED BACK THEN SHE CAN GET THE HELP FROM DIRECTLY IRDA INSTEAD OF REQUESTING TO THE PERSON IN DLF WHO HAS LEFT THE JOB.

    JUST LIKE ME, SONIA NEGI HAD ALSO THE SAME COMPLAINT. A PERSON NAMED DIPTESH SAREEN HAD APPOINTED US AS INSURANCE AGENT IN BIRLA WHILE HE WAS WORKING IN BIRLA UP TO NOV-2010 AND IN DEC- 2010 THE WHOLE TEAM OF THEIR MENTOR NAMELY MR BIRINDER SINGH LEAVE BIRLA AND HE LINE UP HIMSELF WITH THE TEAM OF 8 PEOPLE IN DLF PRAMERICA IN THE SHORT SPAN TIME OF ONE WEEK — 7 DAYS. I MEAN 7 PEOPLE WHO WERE ASM OR SM RESIGNED FROM THEIR JOB FROM BIRLA ALL OF A SUDDEN AND ULTIMATELY WHO HAD TO SUFFER — WE THE LIFE ASSOCIATES.

    FURTHER THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT ARISES THAT IF ANY ONE LEAVES THE COMPANY THEN THE ADVISORS APPOINTED SHOULD NOT BE FORCED BACK TO GO WHERE THEIR CONCERNED PERSON HAVE JOINED THEM. I ALWAYS WANTED TO WORK FOR BIRLA INSTEAD OF DLF OR ANY OTHER COMPANY.

    NOW MR DIPTESH SAREEN WANTED ME TO JOIN DLF AS AN ADVISOR AGAIN FOR WHICH I ASKED HIM OKAY I WILL JOIN AS ADVISOR YOU LET ME TAKE MY N.O.C FROM BIRLA.

    THEN HE SAID NO- KEEP THE ID OF BIRLA WITH YOURSELF AND HE WILL ARRANGE TO APPOINT ME IN DLF BY WAY OF ONE MORE PAN CARD. SO PRESENTLY I HAVE BEEN ALLOTED 2 PAN CARDS AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS OF DATE OF BIRTH.

    HE FORCEFULLY MADE ME PRESENT IN IRDA EXAM AND LUCKILY I GOT FAILED TWICE ON THIRD TIME, I ASKED HIM FIRSTLY GIVE ME MY INCENTIVE AMOUNT OF RS 7555/- OF 12 POLICIES. WHICH HE REFUSES TO PAY. SO I HAVE TO GET THE HELP OF IRDA AND BIRLA AND OF COURSE THE HR DEPARTMENT OF DLF.

    ON MY MAIL HE WAS ASKED TO RESIGN FROM JOB. THE SAME HAPPEND TO SONIA NEGI ALSO. HER CELL NUMBER IS 96530-73314.
    SHE REFUSED TO APPEAR AFTER HEARING MY ISSUE. SHE HAD ALSO OUTSTANDING INCENTIVE OF 22 POLICIES VALUING RS 11809/- AS SAID BY HER.

    SO CAN YOU DO ANY HELP IN THIS REGARD? BCZ MR BIRINDER SINGH IS THEIR MENTOR IN DLF AND HE IS ALSO THE PARTY TO THE PART OF INCENTIVE SHARED.

    SIR YOU TELL ME WHY I SHOULD LEAVE THE ADVISORSHIP OF BIRLA IF TEAM OF BIRINDER SINGH LEFT WHO TOOK 8 OF HIS NEAREST COLLEAGUES WITH HIM.

    TILL TODAY MY NEW POLICIES TAKEN UP FROM PARTIES IN BIRLA FOR POSTING GOT POSTED IN DLF UNDER THE ADVISOR NAME SUNITA DHAWAN.

    SO YES I ADMIT THAT I ASKED HER TO TAKE THE HELP. ANY MORE ISSUES, FEEL FREE TO MAIL ME AND I WILL REVERT YOU.

    The one of the most weird and stupidies condition brought forward while cliaming the medicalim is to inform on the same day or in 24 hours the admission of the patient. now, with two senior citizens and one of them gets ill and is hospitalised and requires urgent medication and care how do you expect them to inform the agent via phone or by e-mail or fax on teh same day!! with working dauhgetrs around and with all involved in betterment of the person in teh hospital–with reports, scans etc to be done…..do you think anyone can be in a position to inform the medicalim agent like United India Insurance’s TPA regarding the same……fax them all the documents…other procedures within 24 hrs !!!!!!!!! this is one of teh most draconian law/rule put forth while claiming the medicalim!! honest, genuine people like us suffer the most who have to give priority of the person getting well rather than run after filling the forms and fax the same to TPA!! Everyone who has some kind of common sense when such emergency occurs will agree that this rule of informing within 24 hrs is most idiotic rule and shoudl be changed immediately!!

    1. Gayatri

      Probably you are talking about emergency cases . In those cases obviously no one can inform the TPA about hospitalization , so in that case you are required to make all payments etc and get the refund later . This is how health insurance works . You get money reimbursed back .

      The cash less facility is an added advantage provided by companies to people who have planned medications in selected hospitals .

When we applied for the DOUBLE ACCIDENTAL DEATH CLAIM BENEFIT they had replied us with:
    WE HAVE RECIEVED YOUR RECORD FROM AMRAVATI BRANCH-II OFFICE FOR CONSIDERATION OF D.A.B CLAIM. IN THIS CONNECTION, YOU ARE REQUESTED TO SUBMIT US COURT JUDGEMENT COPY TO PROCEED FURTHER IN CASE.

    It is already written in the FIR copy that this is a murder case.

      I hope you know what is meant by Double Accidental benefit , its a clause which means you will get double death cover only if the person is died due to “accident” . there fore company might not pay for this as its not a accidental death ! .

    I have a similar complaints as that of Mr. Ajay who has bought a policy from Bajaj Allainze.
    The company and its sales managers are making their customers fool.
    I bought a policy named “Centuray Plus “in 2007 which was sold to me giving me very rosy picture of a handsome return on my investment as the insurance part was lesses (1.25 lakh ) and the allocation of investment was 98%.
    The agent/sales manager of the Comany assured me that if I wish I need not pay the premium after single premium payment as insurance part will lapse but my investment will keep growing.
    I had paid 25000/- as first premium in 2007 and stopped paying premium thinking that at least my investment will grow. I kept asking about my policy and they kept assuring me for the safety of my investment saying when I withdraw my amount after FIVE years, I will get good profit on my initial payment.

    After completion of three years I checked my investment with company TO MY UTTER SURPRISE , I came to know that after THREE years my initial invest ment of Rs 25000/- has reduced to 14000/- ( as on 6th January 2010) and the projected surrender amount after FIVE years shall only be only 17000/- approximately.
    The reason told me for such status for my investment is HEAVY ADMINISTRATION charges for managing my investment.
    This is DISGUSTING. How can a company put so much administration charges and EAT my investment.
    My policy no- 078791980

      You are facing the same situation like millions . Note that you were mis-sold the product and it does not fit your criteria . you should not conclude that product is bad as ULIPs are not a short term investments , the high charges are there keeping in mind that investor will stay for long term. Your timing was also bad at the same time . 2007 was a bad time to get into equities .

        Thanks for your reply
        If Bajaj Allianze people mis sold a policy to me why the company and these people should not be hold responsible to compensate my losses.

        When I approached agent and sales manager of the co they said they were compelled by the higher ups of the comapny to sell the policies as much as possible by giving false promises of looking after the investment of the customers by suitable putting their fund in growth funds.
        But the agents /sales managers do not bother to look back at their customers or their invest ment.
        IT is certain that the companies themselves force the agents to mis sell the policies. In my case the agent/sales manager has put blame on the higher ups of the company who misguided them and compelled them to sell the policy to me. ( informing that Century Plus is single premium policy)
        Sufferers are customers and not Bajaj Alliance.
        Pl reply now how to recover the losses.
        It is clear case of cheating??

          How can one “trust” or “believe” someone before commiting thousands and lacs of rupees ! . Somewhere we are also to be blamed in this process . Its not just mis-selling , but also mis-buying ! .

    hi.. i have an BAJAL ALLIANZE UNIT GAIN PLUS GOLD ULIP bought in jan 2008.. i bought it from a dad’s friend. True mistake just for section 80C. Premum is Rs. 12000pa. for 10 yrs.
    Sum assured is 60000 only.
    I paid 3 premiums&now wish2surrender my policy
    Surrender value is
    (1-(1/1.1)^N) x firsy years’ premum paid.
    whre N is 10 minus no of policy years completed.
    As i have completed 3 years,
    surrender valve = (1-(1/1.1)^7) x 12000
    = 5880
    so i paid 36000 & getting only 5880 after surrender.please explain. or am i doing calcucations wrong.
    please help me manish.. i am in distress.

      Can you send the details of where did you see the surrender charge formula ? I am sure surrender value will be very less in intial years and you have not even completed 3 complete yrs .

        The formula is in the hard copy of the insurance related terms and conditions i got after i completed initial clearances to my agent.

        1. Ajay

          I assume that the hard copy you are mentioning is brochure for the product . but I cant see the formula in the online brochure .

          Anyways , in that case whatever you get from the formula should be the right figure

          1. Sanjay Sharma says:

            Ajay is absolutely right. The LIC has initially got approval from Biggest Robbers in India-Government of India-PM & Cabinet Mantries….Under the approval, almost two – three Premium amounts are “swallowed and robbed in day light” by Insurance Companies, that is why every day one new Foreign investors are investing in this business model, wherein they legally loot Public.
            This is most profitable business in India. Agents gets 1st year : 40-50% of 1st premiums; later till policy terms @10-15% of 1st premiums. They earn Huge Commissions. Public is looted at fullest. Shame on Govt. of India for giving approval of the business model. AT END OF THE DAY PUBLIC WILL NOT GET RETURNS <3% ON TOTAL PREMIUMS (IF FULL PREMIUMS FOR FULL TERMS ARE PAID) or their will be looted completely.

            In BAJAL ALLIANZE UNIT GAIN PLUS GOLD ULIP, the surrender vaule is calculated based on the mentioned formula only. Tell me how they will pay this huge commissions to Agants and make profits. There is no no MIRACLE FOR PROFITABILITY. Only from your premiums.. I HAVE ALSO MADE THIS BIG MISTAKE..

            STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS: BEWARE…..BEWARE…… BEWARE……NEVER EVER TAKE ANY ULIP or INVESTMENT PLAN FROM ANY OF THE INSURANCE POLICIES AT ALL FROM ANY OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY INCL. TATA AIG, BAZAZ, METLIFE, LIC………………………………….INVEST YOUR MONEY IN OTHER INSTRUMENTS – PPF, MIS, Corporate FDS, SIP-MF, Bank FDs etc.

            1. Salm says:

              Well, Sanjay,

              It is your responsibility to read through all conditions and charge details before buying a policy. If you do not agree with the terms and conditions, you could very well refrain from taking that policy. Simple is that.

              There is no point in accusing companies and agents like this. I feel term insurance is a better choice for you.

              Whatever may be, it is not a good practice to accuse companies and agents because all these policies came to this market after all necessary approvals from the government. It is your ( or the investors) responsibility to read through product details before investing your hard earned money.

              Everything is transparent and written very clearly. The only thing is we investors feel lazy to go through those terms and conditions.

              Hope you follow what I meant.

            ex. if you open the policy bond you will find customer id no, visit the co website and login in as customer .but many customers never do that.
            next if you visit any life co branch office anywhere we can get old premium receipts, tax certificates, mail allert or premium reminders etc by login in intranet . Any agent can do this.

    Sir,
    I have individual mediclaim policy no.152605/48/2011/26
    policy issued by City Branch Office of Oriental Insurance Co.Ltd. and TPA was M/s Raksha TPA Pvt. Ltd.
    15/5, Mathura Road, Faridabad

    The Policy covers the medical risk of myself, my wife and my two dependent children. The policy is about 10 yrs old and since then no claim has been lodged in this policy. This year my son Siddharth Tapadia was hospitalized for treatment of jaundice with Bhargava Heart Hospital and Intensive Care Unit Nursing Home, Ujjain on 12.08.2010. The intimation for the same was sent by fax on 14.08.2010 to Raksha TPA Delhi office as their Indore office fax no. was not working. Since then more than four months have elapsed after submitting all the relevant documents but claim has not been passed yet. Rather they have started irrelevant queries.
    Firstly they have said that the intimation for hospitalization was not sent in time and therefore claim cannot be passed. In response to this I have submitted all the proofs of sending intimation along with fax
    acknowledgement generated by the fax machine after sending paper to the designated no. as OK report.
    There after they kept quite and then send letter asking for certificate of continuation of policy which was also send to them by e-mail by city branch of Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd. immediately . After that nothing
    happen for one month when I enquired from Insurance Co., they informed me that the building in which office of Rakha TPA is situated is hit by fire and though the office of Raksha TPA is not affected by fire but their working has been totally disrupted. Hence it will take some time. After few days some Executive of Raksha TPA, Indore called on me on Phone stating that they are processing my claim very soon.However again by letter dated 01.12.2010 they have again ask for certificate of continuation of policy which is already been sent on 27.10.2010 by e-mail. All these working clearly indicates that they are not interested in settling my legal and valid claim which has been lodged well withing prescribed time limit for which proof were furnished to them.The third party administrators asked for all the relevant papers within 7 days of discharge from hospital whereas the post hospitalization treatment upto 2 months is permissible as per policy. Further the certificate of continuation of policy is given by the insurance co. and not by the claiment and despite that the Raksha TPA is asking the same from me repeatatively. This certificate is not required for the treatment of jaundice at all.This clearly indicates that they are not interested in paying the claim but harassing the public at large.
    This kind of attitude of third party administrator are creating bad image for insurance co. also and insured persons are suffering because of this TPA’s who just want to earn the money and not concern about the well being of the public at large. This complaint is to bring to the notice of all the third parties of
    harassment done by TPA’s and problem faced by the public at large and to ensure the receipt of claim money as well compensation for mental agony and financial difficulties faced

    I came across a person who had purchased a Jeevan Madhur policy. I did some analysis:
    Sum Assured : 25415
    Policy Term : 05 years
    Premium (PM) : 500 (i.e. Total Premium paid: 30000 for 5 years)

    Bonus declared in the past 2 years for Jeevan Madhur: 20 Rs per 1000 of Sum assured
    This means one will get 25415*20/1000 as Bonus i.e. 508.3 Rs
    Assuming same bonus is declared for the remaining 3 years, then total bonus paid: 2541.5 Rs

    So at the end of maturity one should get:
    Sum Assured: 25415
    Bonus : 2541.5
    Total : 27956.5

    Whereas premium paid is 30000.

    This means one will not even get the premium paid in return. I have not caluclated Loyalty Bonus, even if I do, it would be peanuts!

    Since the policy is meant for unskilled/Urban poor sections, it is a daylight robbery by LIC OR I am wrong with my calculation!

    Can anyone comment?

    Thanks

    Sunil

    1. Sunil

      Yes your analysis is correct ,even though you have not taken complete picture, your conclusion holds true which is “Robbery in day light”

      1. Sunil says:

        Thanks Manish. I still cannot not believe that a govt backed instution could cheat the people including those who belong to the poorer section.

        But I did not get you when you say ‘not taken complete picture’. Could you please elaborate that a bit?

        Regards

        1. I meant to say that he also has insurance, can take some basic loan if required etc .

          1. Sunil says:

            There is no loan facility under Jeevan Madhur.

            They term it as micro insurance (sounds highfi) 🙂

    2. Sanjay Sharma says:

      You are absolutely right. The LIC has initially got approval from Biggest Robbers in India-Government of India-PM & Cabinet Mantries….Under the approval, almost two – three Premium amounts are “swallowed and robbed in day light” by Insurance Companies, that is why every day one new Foreign investors are investing in this business model, wherein they legally loot Public.
      This is most profitable business in India. Agents gets 1st year : 40-50% of 1st premiums; later till policy terms @10-15% of 1st premiums. They earn Huge Commissions. Public is looted at fullest. Shame on Govt. of India for giving approval of the business model. AT END OF THE DAY PUBLIC WILL NOT GET RETURNS <3% ON TOTAL PREMIUMS (IF FULL PREMIUMS FOR FULL TERMS ARE PAID) or their will be looted completely.
      I have done analysis of Tata AIG Maha Life Gold policy: for 10L face value the premium of @ 91400/pa. for 15 years, returns are around 1.25L P.A. If same money invested @10-12% interest; Maturity amount is appx. 25-30L. So return can be around 3.0 Lakh per annum. So loss of 150-175% of invested amount, which is swallowed by these Insurance Companies.
      STRONG RECOMMENDATIONS: BEWARE…..BEWARE…… BEWARE……DO NOT TAKE ANY ULIP AT ALL FROM ANT OF THE INSURANCE COMPANY INCL. TATA AIG, BAZAZ, METLIFE
      LIC………………………………….INVEST YOUR MONEY IN OTHER INSTRUMENTS – PPF, MIS, Corporate FDS, SIP-MF, Bank FDs etc.

      dear all !
      If anyone do have some insider(s), he/she easily know that lic is a early bird in this business. the bonus rates fell from 12 to 6 % till date.If lic is a PUBLIC well wisher then kindly publish the lapsed policy amout which crossed more than 10 thousand crores so far !
      i request your views including freinds from lic !

    The insurance ombudsman is a great thing. I remember having an issue with ICICI Lombard over a travel insurance refund. They were delaying the refund and asking for more and more documentation (many times documentation that was already provided). After a month and a half of calling, e-mails, and harassment I just sent them an e-mail stating that I will escalate this issue to the ombudsman in the next 2 weeks if there is no resolution.

    I got the refund 3 days before the 2-week deadline I gave them. Amazing!

    The insurance ombudsman is highly recommended and it definitely works!

      thanks for your comment and experience . I believe its more a matter of experience , some people dont have good experience with ombudsman . So i suppose we cant judge it by an example. What are your thoughts ?

      manish

      1. Ram says:

        Manish,

        Actually, in my case it was more like the “dhamki” made the difference to them and they paid up. I can definitely vouch that the fear of the ombudsman did impress me.

        But you’re right. Maybe an example with someone who actually escalated to the ombudsman can provide information on how good and reactive the ombudsman is.

        Regards,
        Ram.

          Agree with you 🙂

    If I am not wrong the helpline is only for complaints and not for claim settlement issues. For claims one has to go to the Ombudsman.

    1. gopal says:

      You can approach IRDA for any kind of problem with insurance company including claim settlement.
      The ombudsman also looks for any kind of problems between customer & insurance company. The major difference between is that order of ombudsman are binding upon the insurance companies. Even after that, if the customer is not satisfied with the award, he can move to consumer court or other court of law.

    2. pattu

      yes , but its more of a one stop place where if you are not finding any help , you can complain , Its more of a police station 🙂

  184. gopal says:

    It’s a good initiative by IRDA after getting no. of complaints from investors especially regarding ULIP’s. I suggest that one should email to respective company’s customer care department first & try to solve the matter. If the solution is not satisfactorily, forward your complaint to IRDA with ticket no. / complaint no. assigned to you. That will speed up the process with IRDA. You can get the complete list of “Customer Care department of all life insurance companies of India with their email id & toll-free numbers at
