 Sec
6 (2) of IRDA (Protection of Policyholder's Interest) Regulation 2002
provides a 15 days 'free look' period from the date of receipt of
policy document. As a policyholder, you can examine the insurance policy
and opt out if you are not satisfied with any conditions/ features
mentioned in the policy. In case you opt out, the premium paid
will be refunded after deductions for expenses like those for a medical
examination, cost of proportionate risk cover, stamp duty etc.
In case you opt out of an Unit Linked Policy during the free look
period, you shall be entitled to an amount which should at least be
equal to non-allocated premium plus charges levied by cancellation of
units plus fund value at the date of cancellation less expenses, if you
return the policy stating the reasons for your objection.
