Caution in the new policy of life insurance companies after receiving high claims
MUMBAI: Many life insurers are being cautious in adopting new proposals as they are forced to use the provisions made for the current financial year in the first quarter alone.
The second wave of Corona has led to a large number of claims before life insurance companies. As insurance companies cannot raise premiums in a profitable way, they are cautious in accepting new proposals, insurance sector circles said.
Insurance companies are now insisting on conducting medical tests for previously accepted proposals based on teleconsultation.
The second wave in the first quarter of the current financial year was much higher than the claims related to Covid in FY 2021, the sources said. Pressure on insurance companies increased as youth mortality rates remained high in the June quarter. In the first wave, excessive deaths were seen in patients over 50 years of age.
