7 Things to Keep in Mind to Avoid Insurance Mis-selling

Insurance Mis-selling: Insurance is a well-regulated business and all insurance companies follow the basic guidelines provided by the regulator – The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). The regulator insists on basic guidelines as below :

  1. Insurance should be sold by a licensed person only.
  2. Insurance sellers must introduce themselves by giving a proper introduction.
  3. All terms and conditions must be clearly explained.
  4. Insurance is a subject matter of solicitation and no one can be induced to buy with the trap of any attached benefits.

But there are some fraudulent people who have wrong intentions. They try to make easy money by mis-selling insurance products. Their purpose is to sell a wrong insurance product by deliberately misrepresenting it. Beware of such people!

How to Protect Yourself from Insurance Mis-selling?

  1. Check the identity of the seller and ask them to share the purpose of the visit or call.
  2. Ask your agent to explain each and every feature and benefit properly.
  3. If the agent promises something which seems too good to be true, then verify them with the insurance company.
  4. If the agent is offering the policy on the telephone call, ask him to meet physically.
  5. Physically visit the insurance company and verify the details of the agent as well as the insurance policy the agent is offering you.
  6. After the policy purchase, you will receive a verification call from the insurance company. Carefully listen to what they are saying and reply truthfully. If you have any doubts, ask right away.
  7. A free-look period is given to all policyholders in which they can reconsider their decision of buying the policy. If during this free period, you feel that the policy was misrepresented to you or you do not need the policy, you can apply for free-look cancellation.
     

If you were mis-sold an insurance policy, then immediately contact your insurance company and inform them about the mis-selling. If you need help, you can contact
