Your renewal premium should reach us by the due date specified in the premium reminders. It is always advisable to
pay on time so that your valuable policy benefits can continue.
However we do understand that there may be times when you may not be able to pay the renewal premium by the due date. Therefore we allow for some additional number of days from the due date, which is specified in your policy document, to help you make your premium payment.
In case we still don’t receive your premium payments by the end of the above mentioned period, we would do either one of the following:
“Lapse” the policy – if you haven’t paid premiums for the first 3 policy years
Make the policy “Paid up” – if otherwise
Either of these may mean loss/reduction of valuable benefits of your policy. Please refer to your policy document for details.
We do, however, allow you to restore the original benefits for a Lapsed or a Paid up policy under certain conditions. Here is what you would need to do:
On receipt we will send you the details of amount, that you will have to pay towards revival. This amount may include all or some of the outstanding premiums, revival interest and revival processing charges
If your policy is lapsed or paid-up for more than six months or lapsed due to any reasons like illness, accidents etc. you may need to submit a Personal Health Statement
Please note that we reserve our right to impose some new terms and conditions at the time of revival decided on a case-to-case basis
You can speak to your Financial Consultant or to any of our officers at a branch nearest to you for more information.
