    What are Unclaimed Life Insurance Funds?


    Unclaimed life insurance funds refer to the proceeds of life insurance policies - death benefits or survival benefits not claimed by the beneficiary or the policyholder. When a life insurance policy matures, or the insured meets with an unexpected death, the policyholder, or the beneficiaries are entitled to receive the applicable benefits stated in the policy.

    However, if the benefits are left unclaimed for reasons such as the beneficiaries not being aware of the existence of the policy, missing or outdated information related to the policy, etc., the unclaimed funds will remain with the insurance provider until the rightful beneficiaries or policyholders come forward to initiate the claim.

    Why do Life Insurance Funds Go Unclaimed?

    • Shopping Cart Icon

      Lack of Awareness

      The policyholder may not have communicated the existence of the life insurance policy to the beneficiaries. Therefore, the beneficiaries who are unaware of the existence of the life insurance policy fail to take the necessary actions to claim the life insurance policy proceeds.

    • Timer loading Icon

      Missing or Outdated Information

      It is very important that policyholders keep their contact details (mobile number, email id and address) and bank details updated with the insurer, so that they are aware of the various events and latest updates in the policy and also receive any payments on time through direct credit to their accounts. If the policyholder has not updated the beneficiaries' contact details, the insurer will find it difficult to trace and identify the rightful beneficiaries. 

    • Secure Your Family's Future - How Term Insurance Work

      Forgotten Policies

      If a policyholder has purchased multiple life insurance policies, and they purchased a life insurance policy several years ago or with a relatively lesser sum assured, they might have forgotten about its existence, thus failing to claim the applicable benefits.

    • KYC Updations

      If the policyholder or the beneficiary fails to provide the KYC, required documents or bank details, the benefits remain unclaimed.

    How Does an Amount Get Parked as Unclaimed Funds?

    During all customer interactions and the process of releasing payments to customers, all attempts are made to reach out to them and collect their bank details so that the beneficiary receives the entitled sum assured. 

    Wherever the bank details are unavailable, payments are made through cheques dispatched to their address registered with us.

    If the cheques/payouts due are not cleared after 12 months from the liability creation date, such payouts move into the Unclaimed Fund. 

    If a cheque reissued from Unclaimed Fund is not encashed, it is moved to Unclaimed Fund post 90 days. 

    Also, cases wherein the payouts are not settled (for example, pension policies wherein the policyholder has not submitted the Discharge Voucher or confirmed the vesting and commutation amount), are moved to unclaimed funds post 6 months from the original liability date.
