Free Look Period
You’ll get a 15-day free look period starting from the date of receipt of the policy to review the terms and conditions. If you disagree with the terms and conditions, return the policy stating the reason for it. In case you haven’t made any claim during the free look period, you’ll be entitled to a refund of the paid premium less any expenses incurred on medical examination (if any) and stamp duty charges. Where the risk has already commenced and you have returned the policy, a deduction towards a proportionate risk premium for the period on the cover will be made. If only a part of the insurance coverage has commenced, such proportionate premium commensurates with the insurance coverage during the free look period.
