Kolkata man get over Rs 1 crore payout after Insurer wrongly rejects mother’s death claim
IndiaFirst Life Insurance wrongly rejected a Rs 1 crore death claim on January 30, 2023, after the policyholder's mother passed away in 2023. The insurer initially alleged forged financial documents and then claimed that the policyholder's mother had not disclosed her pre-existing illnesses. However, the Kolkata District Consumer Commission ruled that the insurer's repudiation was arbitrary and unjustified, lacking any evidence to support these allegations.
The commission directed the insurer to pay Rs 99.41 lakh to the policyholder's son, along with compensation and litigation costs.
