Dear Ali, you are mixing 2 different things. From your own statement, should I say that you are free to murder and then after court’s order, when you are hanged, still your family ‘ll get the claim amount? The answer is NO. whenever you are acting against a law, your claim ‘ll not be honored. Having a lifestyle is diferent then facing the consequences of that lifestyle. 🙂
thanks

If you are driving car under influence, you are breaking the law. Your family will get nothing. This has nothing to do with what you declared about your lifestyle or when you started drinking..
Ashal sir,
Than insurer may honour my claim if my death occur by an accident even my PM report confirm that i were under influence of alcohol at the time of accident. I am i correct Ashal?
thanks

Dear Ali, once you purchase a term cover, there is no need to submit your yly life style report to your insurer.
After purchasing your cover, if you start consuming these substance later on, no problem to your policy and not at all mandatory to inform.
thanks

Ashal sir,
I have 2 more questions. clarify to me.
Is it mandate to submit life style questionnaire for insured person every 1/2/3/4 or 5 years to the insurance company?
at the time of buying a term plan i am not assume alcohol/tobacc0.is it mandate to update if i start using tobacco or alcohol details to insurer during the policy term?
thankz ashal

Dear Ali, please read my lijne in full. In case. I mean to say, if out of your 5-6 insurers, one insurer rejects your claim on some ground, it w’d have to share it’s decision with all other insurers as all insurers are in common loop to process all yoiur policies. So judgement/assessment taken by one insurer may have an impact on other insurers also.
Paying regular prem. is noi guarantee that your claim ‘ll be honored. Sample this –
All your policies are more than 7Y old and one fine day, after drinking 2-3 pegs you decide to drive your CAR. Your car met with an accident and you are no more. PM report confirms that you were under influance of Alcohal at the time of accident. Now do tell me in this situation, your insurer ‘ll honot your claim or not.
Thanks

sir,
I am afraid of this line..If one insurer reject my claim,all may follow.
Is it mandate for insurance companies if one can reject claim the same will follow others?
I have submitted all my previous policy details at the time buying new one.
If one can have more than one policy is chances are high for reject claims?
If one can pay regular premiums more then 4,5,and 6 years and above what are the chances of rejection of claims?
clarify me
thank you
Ali
Dear Ali, yes, the problem ‘ll be there for your family as it w’d have to deal with 4-5-6 insurers and in case, one insurer reject your claim, all may follow. Whereas in case of a single cover, follow up ‘ll be easy and for claim denial, the fight w’d also be easy as your family ‘ll be dealing with only 1 insurer, not several.
Thanks

Ashalanshu..
I have too many polices.Is any problem raise in future at the time of claim settlement?
clarify me.
thank you
Dear Ali, good part about your policies, all are term plan. bad part, too many policies with low cover. In my personal opinion. please purchase a big cover of at least 400 times of your mly expenses or 12-15 times of your yly income. Once the new cover is there, you may drop these policies one by one.
Please purchase online term cover to save money.
Thanks
Ashal
