What is nomination of the policy?

Section 39 of the Indian Insurance Act 1938 provides for nomination of a person who would receive the benefits of the claim on the death of the life assured. Nomination establishes a clear title to the policy. This prevents dispute and also prevents delay in settlement of a death claim. In the case where nomination has not been given at the time of proposal, nomination can be made at any time during the term of the policy. Nomination can also be changed, at any time during the tenure of the policy, by intimating respective insurance company

Can I change my nomination?

Nomination is a right conferred on the holder of a Policy of Life Assurance on his own life to appoint a person/s to receive policy moneys in the event of the policy becoming a claim by the assureds death. The Nominee does not get any other benefit except to receive the policy moneys on the death of the Life Assured.

What if I forget to make payment?

 

A grace period of one month but not less than 30 days is allowed where the mode of payment is yearly, half-yearly or quarterly and 15 days for monthly payments. If death occurs within this period, the life assured is covered for full sum assured.

 

What If I lose my policy?

  • The Policy Document is an evidence of the contract between the Insurer and the Insured. Hence the policyholder should preserve the Policy Bond till the contracted amount under it is settled.
  • Loss of the Policy Document should be immediately intimated to the Branch Office where it is serviced.

How do I make a maturity claim?

  • LIC settles survival benefit/maturity claims on or before the due date.

What is Disability Benefit Claims?

 

Disability benefit claims consist of waiver of future premiums under the policy and extended disability benefit consisting in addition of a monthly benefit payment as per policy conditions.

In case of the Salary Saving Scheme being withdrawn by the said employer, the Corporation will intimate the same to the policyholder. Thereafter the 5% rebate given under Salary Saving Scheme will be withdrawn.
