thebalanced.newsConsumer Commissions Order United India Insurance to Reimburse Rejected Claims in Two Cases
Two separate consumer dispute commissions directed United India Insurance Company Limited to reimburse policyholders after rejecting claims. In Ludhiana, the insurer was ordered to pay Rs 81,322 plus compensation for denying a mediclaim citing unnecessary hospitalisation, which the tribunal disputed. In Mohali, the insurer was directed to pay over Rs 2.44 lakh for a vehicle repair claim rejected due to alleged commercial use, which the commission found unsubstantiated. Both rulings highlight issues of claim repudiation and consumer protection.
