LIC ordered to pay Rs 15 lakh death claim to woman’s son after ‘unjustified’ repudiation
The Yamuna Nagar District Consumer Commission in Haryana has ordered LIC to pay Rs 15 lakh to the son of a deceased woman following an unjustified repudiation of her death claim. The commission rejected LIC's objections regarding the non-disclosure of existing policies, alleged concealment of diabetes-related information, and delayed intimation, deeming the repudiation of the genuine death claim to be unjustified. The commission ruled that LIC's actions constituted negligence and deficiency in service.
