How Does Paybima Supports Families During Term Insurance Claims?

The unpredictability is the very essence of human life. You never know when you or any of your family members will get struck by unforeseen circumstances, resulting in a serious emotional and financial setback.

Emotions are beyond our control, and the physical presence of any person can never be measured financially. However, financial setbacks at crucial junctures might affect your family life.
Therefore, experts advise maintaining a reliable term insurance plan to act as a protective shield.
What is term insurance?
A term plan is the purest form of life insurance, involving no component for investment or savings. It offers death benefits to the nominee or the beneficiary if the insured person passes away during the plan term, provided the insured person and the policyholder are the same.

- Identity proofs of the nominee and his bank account details like copy of the bank passbook or a cancelled cheque

According to the IRDAI guidelines, any insurance company needs to settle any claim within 30 days after receiving all the documents. However, considering several other factors, a death insurance claim may require 30 – 120 days to process after the claim is raised. We will monitor the status of your claim throughout the process.
How to claim a term insurance claim?
To ensure smooth term insurance claim settlement, you need to follow the proper procedure:
1. Report:
Reporting your claim is the initial step. You can do this online or at the nearest branch of your chosen insurance provider, the Paybima website, the central office, etc., with all the necessary physical documents.
2. Verification:
After arranging all the documents, submit them to your insurance provider. The claim settlement team assesses your claim and asks if any additional documents are required. Once the paperwork is complete, they begin to process your claim request.
3. Claim approval:
After reviewing all the documents, the insurance provider verifies the claim. They may even investigate if necessary. After the claim is verified and approved, the insurer will inform the nominee regarding the approval. The approved settlement amount directly gets credited to the nominee’s registered bank account shortly.
Probable reasons for claim rejection
Claim settlement is the ultimate target for any insurance. If you are careful enough to avoid these circumstances, the chances for claim rejection get minimised considerably:
1. Misinformation:
Any false or incorrect information during policy purchase or claim settlement, like risky hobbies or any medical information, may lead to claim rejection.
How to avoid it?
Please ensure you fill in the application form yourself with all accurate details so that there is no non-disclosure or misrepresentation of material facts.
2. Lapsed policy:
Failing the premium due date may lead to policy lapse, leading to claim rejection.
How to avoid it?
Ensure that you set a reminder to pay your policy premium on time or set up an auto-debit or ECS from your bank account or credit card so that your policy does not lapse.
3. Exclusions:
The specific plan not covering certain specific circumstances like accidents due to extreme sports, drug-related deaths, etc., gets rejected.
How to avoid it?
Read the policy document carefully before applying for the same so that you are well aware of the terms and conditions even before applying for the plan.
4. Incomplete documentation:
Not submitting relevant documents and incomplete paperwork might cause claim rejection.
How to avoid it?
Ensure you fill the form yourself with all the complete information so that there is no concern at the time of claim.
5. Suicide clause:
If the insured person commits suicide within 12 months of the policy purchase, it will be rejected.
How to avoid it?
Committing suicide is a punishable offence by law and should not even be considered.

Car theft was a major concern that car owners were worried about for long in India. Even though it still prevails, but the numbers have gone down considerably because of the installation of various anti theft devices over the years. These devices not only enhance your car’s security, but also reduces the insurance premium of your vehicle to a great extent. This is because the installation of anti theft devices in a car guarantees almost no claims of car theft. So, the insurance companies offer good discounts on premiums to car owners having such devices installed in their car. However, you must note that such discount is not available in third-party policies.
If you are considering anti theft devices to install in your car to prevent theft, you can do so by installing an Automobile Research Association of India or ARAI approved anti theft device.

When you are driving on the Indian roads one of the most crucial obligations for you would be to keep your documents handy with you at all times. This is because you may have to show them at any time when a traffic police officer asks for the same at a signal or elsewhere. As such, it can be rather difficult to remember all these things – to keep them in mind. This is where a Digi locker can be what the doctor ordered for you. The DigiLocker allows you to carry all your papers with you digitally. This is an initiative of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.
