Indian Consumer Commissions Order Insurers to Pay Claims After Rejections
Two consumer commission rulings in India ordered insurers to pay large claims after initial rejections. In Haryana, a woman won over Rs 58 lakh after PNB MetLife denied her housing loan insurance claim following her husband's death. In Maharashtra, United India Insurance was directed to pay Rs 70 lakh plus damages after a luxury car caught fire post-tyre puncture, with the commission rejecting the insurer's argument that the car was left unattended. Both cases highlight consumer protection in insurance disputes.
