What are the Reasons for Rejecting Aditya Birla Term Insurance Claim?

The Aditya Birla term insurance can be rejected if the policyholder has not provided the correct information in the claim application or failed to submit the required documents. Other reasons for rejecting term insurance claims can be not updating information of the nominee and the plan being lapsed due to non-payment of premium amounts. Hiding information such as not disclosing the medical history, or hiding lifestyle practices such as alcohol or tobacco consumption, can be another type of reason for rejecting a term insurance claim.

Why Must You Never Premium Payments?

If you miss one or two payments on your term insurance policy, it will not be canceled. Insurance companies will provide you with a grace period during which you can pay the required payment. 

After the grace period is over, the insurance company will assess the situation again and take appropriate action. This includes the policy's termination as one of the options.  

If the insurance is canceled after the grace period, the policyholder will get a refund of the premium paid, minus the amount of penalties for late payments. 

Claimants will still get the death benefit if the policyholder dies away during the grace period. Insurers sometimes deduct the unpaid amount from the death benefit. 

So, if the policyholder passes away in the grace period, claimants will receive the death benefit minus the penalty amount. Aditya Birla Term Insurance offers a 30 days grace period as per the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI).

In Conclusion

Filing an insurance claim is an essential procedure that must be carried out carefully. A properly filed claim expedites the claim process and provides the financial aid the family receives in the situation of an eventuality or upon plan maturity. 

It is always advised to understand the claim settlement ratio of the insurer as well as the whole procedure before purchasing an insurance policy to get the best results from your purchase.
