So, you've conquered time, outlived your life insurance policy, and now it's time to reap the rewards! No worries, we've got your back. Let's turn the process of claiming your well-deserved maturity benefits into a breeze. 

 

Step 1: Get the Policy Discharge Form 📝  

 

Your insurer will send the policy discharge form a month before your policy throws a celebration. Can't wait? Head online, download it, and you're ready to roll.

 

Step 2: Form Filling Fiesta 🎉  

 

The discharge form will require you to provide your name, the sum assured, your designation, address, bank account details etc. Once you are done filling up the form, you need to get it signed from two witnesses.

 

Also, the documents you need to attach with the form are:

  • Original policy document
  • ID proof
  • Address proof
  • Bank mandate form with bank details
  • A cancelled cheque

 

Step 3: Send the Magic Packet 🚀  

 

Send the form at least 5-7 business days before the policy expires. This will ensure a hassle-free settlement process. This is important because if you forget to send the form and the documents on time, you may face problems in getting your maturity benefits on time.

 

Step 4: Maturity Amount Extravaganza 🎊  

 

Cue the drumroll! The insurance company will verify your details, and boom! The maturity benefits will dance their way into your bank account. You can use thepremium calculatorsto calculate the maturity amount if in doubt.

 

You can also opt for a post-dated cheque and cash it after the policy expires.

 

Quick Notes 📌: 

 

  • You can only make claims on policies that have maturity benefits like survival benefits or bonus. 

 

  • If life throws a plot twist and the policyholder passes away post-maturity but pre-discharge, fear not. The legal heirs inherit the insurance benefits

 

In a nutshell, claiming maturity benefits is as easy as a Sunday morning. Keep those premiums in check, documents in place, and let the insurance party begin! 🎉💰
