Consumer Commissions Uphold Insurance Claims After Initial Rejections in Two Cases
Two consumer commission rulings upheld insurance claims after initial rejections. In Karnataka, a man won a Rs 2 lakh accidental death payout under the Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana after his wife's claim was denied due to reporting delays. The commission ruled procedural delays should not invalidate genuine claims. In Madhya Pradesh, LIC was ordered to pay Rs 3 lakh to a widow after failing to prove her late husband concealed diabetes and hypertension when reviving life insurance policies, dismissing the insurer's appeal.
