Motor Insurance Claim Reject Karne Ke Common Bahane
1️⃣ Delay in Intimation
Insurance company kehti hai ki accident ki information late di gayi.
Legal position: Agar delay reasonable hai (hospitalization, shock, remote location), to claim reject nahi kiya ja sakta.
2️⃣ Surveyor Ki Biased Report
Surveyor aksar damage ko:
- Pre-existing bol deta hai
- Accident cause mismatch likh deta hai
Law: Surveyor report final nahi hoti; challenge ki ja sakti hai.
3️⃣ Policy Terms Ka Misuse
Insurance company fine print ka galat interpretation karke claim deny karti hai.
4️⃣ Minor Breach = Full Rejection
Jaise driver licence issue ya route deviation.
Courts ka view: Minor breach ke liye full claim reject karna unfair trade practice hai.
Kya Insurance Company Jaanbujhkar Claim Delay Kar Sakti Hai?
Nahi. IRDAI regulations ke tahat:
