FAQs

What is the claim filing process in insurance?

Claim filing starts with claim intimation i.e. informing the insurance company about the claim, followed by claim submission i.e. depositing all documents related to the claim along with the claim form.

You will get the claim amount directly in your provided bank account details or via a cheque issued in the insured's name.

Here is the list of major documents that you would be required to file an insurance claim:

  • Insurance Policy Papers
  • KYC Documents
  • Signed Claim Form
  • Discharge summary in case of a health claim
  • Original bills and receipts of the expenses incurred
 

If the insurer has a good basis for thinking you didn't take reasonable care to answer all the questions accurately, they may deny your claim. Failing to reveal a pre-existing medical problem is one of the most common reasons.
