Consumer Commissions Order Insurers to Pay Claims Denied Over Disputes in India
Two consumer commissions in India ordered insurance companies to pay claims previously denied. In Andhra Pradesh, a commission directed a private insurer to pay Rs 50 lakh plus compensation to the nominee of a man who died in a road accident, rejecting the insurer's claim of false information. Separately, a commission ordered an insurer to pay Rs 70.75 lakh after a car caught fire following a tyre puncture, overturning the insurer's denial based on the vehicle being left unattended. Both rulings emphasized policy terms and consumer rights.
