Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance FAQ’s

Life insurance is a contract between an insurance company and the insured whereby the company guarantees payment of an agreed amount (called death benefit) to the named nominee if something untoward happens during the policy period or at the end of the policy, termed as maturity. The insured needs to pay regular premiums to the insurance company for the policy to be valid.

The insurer does, and the amount depends on several factors that can impact the insured’s life expectancy, such as age, gender, smoking habit, personal medical history, and family medical history (such as heart disease or cancer among immediate family members).

All our term insurance plans cover COVID death claims. Apart from that, we also have a life insurance plan which covers COVID Hospitalization expenses. Know more about this COVID Insurance Policy.

In general, beneficiaries and insured persons can make a term life insurance claim in either of the two following cases: (a) if something untoward happens to the person for whom the insurance policy has been taken, and (b) the policy matures. You need to inform the insurer, fill in the relevant forms, and submit the documents requested.

If premium remains unpaid one month after the due date (that is the ‘grace period’), the policy will lapse. In that case you, as the insured, will have wasted all the premiums you have paid in previous years. Additionally, your beneficiary will also not receive a pay out as the policy will be deemed ‘lapsed’.

If the insured dies during the plan term, before he or she can pay the premium, the due premium will be deducted from the death benefit.

In case of a term life insurance policy, there are no paybacks. So, if you as the insured buy a standard term insurance, and you outlive the plan, you get nothing. But do not forget that your primary objective is to create a protective financial umbrella for your loved ones. For other plans, except term plan, you get the money after the policy matures.

Besides insuring your family, this type of life insurance offers various tax deductions and exemptions. Under Section 80C of the Income Tax Act, you can claim a deduction of up to Rs 1.5 lakh on your policy premium. Even the proceeds that your loved ones get in your absence or the amount you get at the maturity of the term is tax-free. Learn all about tax benefits here.

Whether you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s or more – it is always a good idea to get insured.

A rider is an attachment or amendment that supplements the term plan coverage, helping the insured meet specific needs. There are various types of riders:

  • Accidental death and dismemberment
  • Critical Illness
  • Waiver of premium
  • Partial and permanent disability

We examine and settle claims on the basis of all records related to the claim. Once you report a claim, we request you to submit the required documents. The sooner the documents are submitted, the faster your claim will be processed.

The claim benefit can be received by:

  • The nominee or the guardian (in case of minor nominee), if you are the Life Assured
  • The proposer, in case you are not the Life Assured
  • Assignee, in case the policy is assigned
  • Life Assured, in case of living benefit claims such as, claims under disability, critical illness and major surgery rider.

In such circumstances, we would require the proof of title/succession certificate issued by a competent court. The claim would then be paid to the person specified in the said proof. Such a condition is called 'Open Title' situation.

If we have accepted the claim but are waiting for the issued certificate of proof, we hold the money till the proof is submitted and pay interest as directed by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India.

Following KYC documents are required:

  • PAN/Form 60 (mandatory)
  • One recent photograph
  • List of Officially Valid Documents:
    • Passport
    • Driving License
    • Voter's Identity Card issued by Election Commission of India
    • Job Card issued by NREGA duly signed by an officer of the State Government
    • Letter issued by the National Population Register containing details of name, address or any other document as notified by the Central Government in consultation with the Regulator
    • Proof of possession of Aadhaar (to be taken in masked/redacted form/black out version to be taken from clients

This depends on the policy. In term plans, the basic costs, coverage limits, and requirements remain the same for the duration of the policy. For whole life plans, it may remain unchanged sometimes, but mostly they will have changing terms over that timeframe–the changes occur when you renew the policy.

Your insurer can reject a life insurance claim on grounds of:

  • Misrepresentation of actual information
  • Non-disclosure of complete information
  • Fraud
  • Policy does not cover specific situation : Assuming you are 25 years old and take a whole life plan; you will receive a lumpsum payment at the age of 45. However, if you make a claim at 40 because of an emergency, your claim will not be entertained.
  • Disability and critical illness : Life insurance policies do not generally cover disability and critical illnesses, unless you buy disability and critical illness riders as well.
  • Minor beneficiary : The money will be paid only to a trustee designated by you (the insured) and not to the spouse or child (the beneficiary) if he or she is under 18 years.
  • Insured lives beyond term expiry : Some policies are only valid until the insured turns a certain age or for a certain number of years. The policy becomes invalid if you outlive this tenure.
  • Suicide : Although suicide cases qualify for insurance pay outs, there is a catch. The insurance sector regulator, IRDAI, has made certain changes in the suicide clause with effect from January 1, 2014. Policies issued prior to this date will not be entertained under the old clause. As for those policies that have been taken out later, we’ll come to that a little later.
  • Unpaid premium : This is the most common ground for pay out refusal. If the premium is not paid within 30 days after the due date, the policy is considered lapsed.

Yes! In fact, if you have smoked in the last 12 months, then you must declare yourself as a tobacco user. If information is withheld and later revealed to the insurer, it may have severe repercussions such as your policy being considered as null and void or denial of the policy benefits.

You can buy as many term insurance plans as you want to fulfill your insurance needs. You can even nominate different beneficiaries for both the insurance plans.

Policy Issuance usually takes 7 days post medical test and successful submission of all documents. In case of non-policy issuance due to in eligibility, following offer would be made to you:

  • Revised premium
  • Count Offer: Revised life cover
  • Postpone: Eligible to buy policy after 6 months
  • Decline: Policy cannot be given
In case your policy request is declined, payment will be reversed to you in 7 working days.

It is usually suggested that a life insurance cover should be at least 10 times of your annual income and 15 to 20 times is an even better option. If you have loans such as home loans, car loans, etc. then you should factor that in too.

For instance, if your annual income is ₹ 10 Lakhs, it is ideal to buy term life insurance cover of at least ₹1.0 crore, if you do not have other liabilities. In case you have a home loan of ₹50 lakhs, include this amount in your life cover. It is best to use the term calculator provided by insurance companies before deciding on your life cover.

If the due premiums are not paid while the policy is still within the lock-in period, then the policy would lapse and all benefits of the policy would cease. The policy holder has a grace period for premium payment, which is 15 days from the due date for monthly premium payment frequency and 30 days from the due date for half-yearly and yearly premium payment frequency.

If the due premiums are not paid even after completion of 45 days of the grace period then the policy acquires a "discontinued" status, the policy benefits cease. And the amount accumulated in the policy would move to the discontinued fund. This amount would be locked in till completion of the lock-in period (five years from the date of policy issuance). Please note, policy discontinued is applicable for policies issued after Sep 1, 2010.

The policy holder loses out on all the benefits of the plan. After discontinuance of the policy it cannot be withdrawn. The policy holder would receive the invested amount only on completion of the lock-in period (five years from the date of policy issuance).

You have a period of 15 days to review your original policy document from the date of receipt. If you are not satisfied with the terms and conditions of your policy, you can return it to us for cancellation and you will be eligible for a refund. If your policy is sourced through distance marketing, you have a period of 30 days. This will be mentioned in your policy certificate. To cancel your policy within the free look (review period), fill up the form and visit any of our branches with your Policy document. Once received, we will process your request and refund the premium amount after applicable deductions (if any) within 15 days.
