SBI Life’s ‘hidden illness’ claim fails, drowning victim’s widow gets Rs 40 lakh
The Kakinada District Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission, in Andhra Pradesh, has ruled that SBI Life must pay about Rs 40 lakh to the widow of a man who drowned accidentally. The insurer's claim that the victim had concealed his medical background during policy application was rejected. The widow was the policy's beneficiary. The consumer body found that SBI Life had not proven the husband's deliberate concealment of his diabetes and hypertension, thus disqualifying the claim denial.
