Insurance Complaints
People generally purchase insurance and pay a fixed premium in exchange for a promise of compensation in exchange of some life tragedy. It is usually brought as it gives peace to the mind of the holders. There are two types of insurance namely life insurance and general insurance. The life insurance offers compensation in case of death or disability whereas general insurance offers compensation in scenarios other than death. The life insurance can be divide into term life, pension plans, money-back policy and unit-linked insurance plans. General insurance can be divided into motor insurance, home insurance, health insurance and fire insurance. However, as appealing as it sounds many lapses have been seen in the Insurance department. More than 18% people complaint about the denial of claims which is followed by unsatisfactory offer/settlement at 15%. Many times the insurance companies try their best to lower the compensation as can be in the cases of accident which the most complained about area in the insurance.Travel insurance complaints accounts for nearly 33% of the total insurance complaints filed at Voxya. So how can a consumer file a complaint against these insurance companies? First and foremost we should try to talk to their customer care number. Most of these companies have a 24*7 helpline number which is specially made for handling consumer complaints. The helpline number of some leading insurance companies in India are :
LIC Customer Care Number - 022 6827 6827
ICICI Prudential Life Insurance Customer Care Number - 1860 266 7766
Reliance Life Insurance Customer Care Number - 022 4882 7000
Bajaj Allianz Customer Care Number - 1800 209 5858
Birla Sun Life Customer Care Number - 1800 270 7000
SBI Life Insurance Customer Care Number - 1800 267 9090
Max Life Insurance Customer Care Number - 1860 120 5577
HDFC Standard Life Customer Care Number - 1800 22 7227
Tata AIA Life Insurance Customer Care Number - 080676 03700
However, if the Insurance company itself isn’t willing to resolve the issue, there are other things which can be done. Firstly, you can send a written complaint to the insurer’s grievance redressal offier by attaching the relevant documents. Their contact details are available on the policy document as well on the web sites of insurer. The insurance company is then required to address the issue within 15 days, if they don’t, you can lodge a complaint with the Irda. Irda customer care number : 155255 or 1800 4254 732 and their email id is complaints@irda.gov.in or you can fill the form directly which is available on their website. Finally, if you are still unhappy about the action or lack of action taken you can approach the insurance ombudsman or file a consumer complaint. Voxya has a team of legal experts which help in preparing the case documents for consumer court. We at Voxya generally receive about 100 insurance consumer complaints every month including travel insurance complaints, health insurance complaints etc.
