Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation in Insurance and Banking Service Disputes
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of claimants against banks and insurance companies for service deficiencies. In Amritsar, a bank was ordered to pay Rs 1.5 lakh compensation after failing to notify a customer about a missed insurance premium, leading to policy lapse and denied claim following a fatal accident. In Chhattisgarh, a private insurer was directed to pay Rs 12.75 lakh plus additional damages after rejecting a heart treatment claim over missing original documents, which the commission deemed unfair and improper.
