Consumer Commissions Order LIC to Pay Insurance Claims in Two Separate Cases
Two consumer commissions in India directed Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) to pay insurance claims after rejecting them. In Himachal Pradesh, LIC was ordered to pay Rs 2.25 lakh to a mother whose son died of COVID-19, with the commission finding no evidence of concealed respiratory issues. In Andhra Pradesh, LIC was directed to pay Rs 50 lakh to a widow after rejecting her claim over alleged non-disclosure of her husband's occupation and income, with the commission deeming the rejection unjustified.
