Conditions for Policy Reinstatement:

Proof of Insurability: The insurer can ask you to provide proof of life insurance to check your insurability before approving the request. This is only to ensure the risk assessment stays accurate and aligns with their terms and conditions. The insurer may evaluate your current risk profile before approving the revival request, particularly if the policy has remained lapsed for a prolonged period.

What to Do After the Grace Period Ends?

To restore coverage, you must apply for policy revival (also called reinstatement) by paying all overdue premiums along with applicable interest. The insurer may also require you to submit a revival application form and, in some cases, undergo fresh medical underwriting depending on the duration of the lapse and policy terms.

What is the Maximum Deadline to Pay Premiums of a Life Insurance Policy?

According to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India ( IRDAI ) guidelines, policyholders are provided a grace period of 15 days for monthly premium payments and 30 days for quarterly, half-yearly, or annual premium payments from the due date. It applies to all life insurance plans. Insurance companies understand that not everyone can pay the premium before or on the due date. Sometimes, for unavoidable reasons, a person may fail to pay it. After the grace period ends, the consequences depend on your policy type. While term insurance policies generally lapse, savings-oriented policies may continue with reduced benefits if they have acquired a paid-up value. Therefore, reviewing your policy terms before making any missed premium payments is important.
