Common Causes for Rejected Claims and Prevention Methods
Cause of Death Excluded from Coverage: Most life insurance policies cover natural and accidental deaths, but certain causes of death may be excluded. Under current IRDAI regulations, suicide is generally covered after completion of the suicide exclusion period (typically one year), depending on the policy terms. Certain situations may be excluded under the policy, such as claims arising during the suicide exclusion period or due to other exclusions specified in the policy terms and conditions. It’s important to read the terms and conditions of the policy carefully to understand any exclusions. If the cause of death falls under an exclusion, the claim is likely to be denied. Reviewing the policy document carefully before purchase can help you understand the exclusions and coverage.
