(2) Any person making default in complying with the provisions of this section shall be liable for a penalty which may extend to ten lakh rupees.

SECTION 45 OF INSURANCE ACT 1938 as amended from time to time

Fraud, Misrepresentation and forfeiture would be dealt with in accordance with provisions of Sec 45 of the Insurance Act 1938 as amended from time to time. [A simplified version of the provisions of Section 45 is mentioned below for reference] 

Provisions regarding policy not being called into question in terms of Section 45 of the Insurance Act, 1938, as amended from time to time

1. No Policy of Life Insurance shall be called in question on any ground whatsoever after expiry of 3 yrs from

• the date of issuance of policy or
• the date of commencement of risk or
• the date of revival of policy or
• the date of rider to the policy
  whichever is later.

2. On the ground of fraud, a policy of Life Insurance may be called in question within 3 years from

• the date of issuance of policy or
• the date of commencement of risk or
• the date of revival of policy or
• the date of rider to the policy
  whichever is later.

For this, the insurer should communicate in writing to the insured or legal representative or nominee or assignees of insured, as applicable, mentioning the ground and materials on which such decision is based.

3. Fraud means any of the following acts committed by insured or by his agent, with the intent to deceive the insurer or to induce the insurer to issue a life insurance policy:

• The suggestion, as a fact of that which is not true and which the insured does not believe to be true;
• The active concealment of a fact by the insured having knowledge or belief of the fact;
• Any other act fitted to deceive; and
• Any such act or omission as the law specifically declares to be fraudulent.

4. Mere silence is not fraud unless, depending on circumstances of the case, it is the duty of the insured or his agent keeping silence to speak or silence is in itself equivalent to speak.

5. No Insurer shall repudiate a life insurance Policy on the ground of Fraud, if the Insured / beneficiary can prove that the misstatement was true to the best of his knowledge and there was no deliberate intention to suppress the fact or that such mis-statement of or suppression of material fact are within the knowledge of the insurer. Onus of disproving is upon the policyholder, if alive, or beneficiaries.

8. Fact shall not be considered material unless it has a direct bearing on the risk undertaken by the insurer. The onus is on insurer to show that if the insurer had been aware of the said fact, no life insurance policy would have been issued to the insured.

9. The insurer can call for proof of age at any time if he is entitled to do so and no policy shall be deemed to be called in question merely because the terms of the policy are adjusted on subsequent proof of age of life insured. So, this Section will not be applicable for questioning age or adjustment based on proof of age submitted subsequently.

[Disclaimer: This is not a comprehensive list of amendments of Insurance Laws (Amendment) Ordinance, 2014 and only a simplified version prepared for general information. Policy Holders are advised to refer to Original Ordinance Gazette Notification dated December 26, 2014 for complete and accurate details. ]

Claims Procedure:

• Age proof of the insured: Since the policy is issued basis date of birth declared by the insured at the time of opting for the policy, to validate the actual age of the insured, Bharti AXA Life will be calling for age proof of the insured at the claims stage. If the age of the insured is found to be outside the permissible age bracket of 18-55 yrs, such claim would be repudiated.
• Nominee details: For cases where nominee details are not available, Bharti AXA Life would need a valid legal document (like succession certificate issued by court) to decide on the legal heirs of the life insured and payee for the claim benefit. Getting such document is a tedious and lengthy process and hence, claim process for such cases would be delayed (till receipt of such document).
• Sum assured per SIM would be restricted to INR 2,00,000/- (Indian Rupees Two Lakhs only)
• In case the member is holding multiple sim cards and insurance is activated on all such cards, maximum Sum Assured payable at the time of death claim will not exceed INR 2,00,000/- (Indian Rupees Two Lakhs only) in any case.
