Frequently Asked Questions
What can a policyholder do if an insurance claim is wrongly rejected in India?
A policyholder can first escalate through the insurer's internal grievance redressal mechanism, then approach the Insurance Ombudsman for disputes up to ₹50 lakhs, or file a complaint before the consumer commission under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 for deficiency of service. Where the policy contains an arbitration clause for quantum disputes, arbitration may also be available. Judicium Arbitration represents policyholders and insurers in Delhi NCR in such disputes.
Who regulates the insurance sector in India?
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), established under the IRDAI Act, 1999, is the statutory regulator that licenses insurers, reinsurers, brokers, and agents, approves products, and frames market-conduct and solvency regulations. It also protects policyholder interests and can impose penalties for regulatory breaches under the Insurance Act, 1938.
Is arbitration allowed for insurance claim disputes in India?
Insurance policies often contain arbitration clauses, but these typically apply only to disputes over the quantum of a claim once liability is admitted, not to disputes where the insurer wholly denies liability. Where liability itself is repudiated, the matter is usually pursued before consumer or civil forums. The exact scope depends on the policy wording and the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996.
What is the limitation period for filing an insurance claim dispute?
A consumer complaint relating to an insurance claim must generally be filed within two years from the date the cause of action arose, that is, usually from the date of repudiation, under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, though delay can be condoned for sufficient cause. For civil suits, the Limitation Act, 1963 prescribes a three-year period, so prompt action after a claim denial is advisable.
