NANDKUMAR B.SAWANT.,

I do agree with all my friends.

Pension Plan can be with or without life cover varying fro company to company.You may study your policy.

Malpractices are there. Your signatures are forged which you should not accept.

In case of single premium policy, as you had opted, the commission to be paid to the agent as per IRDA guidelines ,is up to max. of 2% of premium i.e Rs.50000/ in your case and the concerned managers of the agent,right from unit manager to the branch manager in ICICI Prudential shall get only 10%  of the premium as sales credit i.e Rs.5000/ in place of Rs.50000/, in their sales vs target achievement or goal sheet. By altering the term of the policy they have changed the policy from single premium to regular premium and thus the agent shall get upto 7.5% of the premium and agent and managers shall get 100% sales credit.

unit manager to the branch manager shall get rewards/awards/incentives on the sales.Branch Managers and others pressurise  unit managers and agents not to log single premium policies.

Companies have put ceiling on % of single premium policies to be logged in and is counted in appraisals.

Your pension plan can be either traditional with some meagre guarantee or ULIP  without any guaranteed returns.

You can surrender the policy within 15 days of the receipt.

 In your case the policy document was not delivered and was delivered only after your complaint.

Plea note that if you retain the policy you shall have to pay minimum for 3/5 years as in your policy and then you can surrender.After the deduction of various administrative charges/unit allocation charges/fund management charges/surrender charges etc you shall be getting the fund value which may be lower than the amount paid by you.

You may write to the company as suggested by learned members, and consult your lawyer, and file your case. Avoid telephonic conversations.

After the act of forgery you should not trust the company and should not remain with the company. File your complaint.The consumer forum can help you to recover full amount+litigation expenses+ penalty.

In todays context Insurance plans/pension plans/health-mediclaim plans are rerquired but these should be purchased after a good financial planning check up by a genuinely good consultant.

If you really require a policy then read first and then choose.

As per the advice of the learned members you can initiate action.It shall be better to  take legal help and file thru your lawyer.

Insurance company can reject the claim in case the company proves that there has been suppression/concealment of material facts/information.

You have provided  the medical history, which is now in company's records.The company has offered to return the premium paid expressing goodwill gesture.

A clever agent shall take signature on all pages of the application form, than on the end.

Each company has a medical grid to be followed before a form is admitted for financial/medical underwriting for the issue of the policy.

As per the age and Sum Assured ( Insurance amount including sum total of base life cover, riders e.g accidental death benefit,comprehensive health benefit,dreaded disease rider etc) and medical grid in force the applicant is advised to undergo the medical/lab  tests at the company's expenses at the company approved medical center. For example in many company's upto age below 35 years and upto sum assured 5 lacs medical tests are not required, and upto age below 45 years and upto sum assured 5 lacs only medical examination i.e recording the height weight etc is required to be done at at the company approved medical center, and above age 55 years each applicant has to undergo the medical tests irrespective of the sum assured.The customer is given the printed form advising medical tests which is retained by the medical center.

The test reports are not shared with the applicant.

Since agent is not employee of the company, the company have in house recheck and as prescribed by IRDA to avoid mis selling/fraud the company employees including unit manager/deputy manager/branch manager and executives from other deptts, and even third parties are supposed to contact the applicant by call or in person to verify the contents of the information given in the application form including past history and put their signatures on internal forms of the company confirming they have contacted and verified from the client.

In case of mis selling more than agent may be involved.

The scanned image of all docs is retained by local branch.

You may carefully study the policy and also obtain details from company office/website  including brochure/medical grid ,copy of forms/docs using your resources.You can use RTI route.

What was the age of your father and what was the amount of sum assured.

In case of complaint IRDA and company are supposed to conduct  inquiry and take action.Companies shall do their very best to defend themselves and producing agents/employees.

You can search and obtain similar case decisions where company has lost and has been penalised to strengthen your case.

Dear Lawyers,

In last June 13, I have taken a policy from Aegon Religare, which is an assured Return plan of an amount of Rs. 25772 & because the manager is committed that from very next year, it will be changed on a monthly basis, then I take 1 more policy from my Husband name. After a year, I have called that manger about the monthly mode so he refused to do it & he said that I am not aware of that time about the policy & when I have inquired to how I will pay that 50 k in a month, so he said I don’t have any idea, even I have called in customer care & his Branch head too so they said I can't serve it so any how in a month or 2 please pay that amount. So please suggest the next step for me to how to file a case against his fraud commitment.
