- What is a Policy Insurance refund?
An insurance refund occurs when the insurance company returns a portion of the premiums paid by the policyholder under specific circumstances, such as policy cancellation, excess premium payment, or policy adjustment, due to a change in life cover, premium amount and so on. If you have accidentally overpaid your insurance premium or made a double payment, you will be eligible for a refund of the excess amount. If you have a monthly premium payment frequency, then the premium may get adjusted towards payment of your next premium. In the case of the annual payment mode, it will be refunded within 40 days.
- What is the process for getting a refund of the premium amount which has been paid twice or when an excess premium has been paid?
If your policy is still in the premium payment stage and is on monthly, quarterly or half-yearly payment frequency, the excess premium paid will get adjusted with the next premium instalment (only if the next premium is due in the current financial year). In case you have an auto debit setup for payment, the premium will not get deducted from your account in the following month for the said amount. If you pay premiums on a yearly payment frequency, the amount will be refunded automatically in the same account through which the payment was made within 40 days.
- What is the process to get a refund for a policy which has not been revived?
For policy revival, the policyholder is required to pay an additional premium and complete requirements such as submission of health declaration, completion of medical tests or any additional documents that may be required to reinstate the policy. If the requirements are not completed by the policyholder within 90 days of the date on which the last payment was received then the premium paid will automatically get refunded to the same bank account/card account from which the payment was received.
- How do I request for an immediate premium refund?
You can request for an immediate premium refund with the following documents:
Documents required:
- Written request or email requesting for a refund of the premium paid
- Copy of cancelled cheque (with name pre-printed) or last 3 months updated Bank Statement/passbook of bank account in which you wish to receive your payout
