Frequently asked questions
What should I do first after an insurance claim is rejected?
Ask the insurer for the written decision and the specific policy clause relied on. Keep the claim reference, policy wording, submitted documents, and all replies together. The right next step depends on the reason and policy terms.
Can this tracker appeal my claim for me?
No. It helps you organize dates and records; it does not file an appeal, assess legal merits, or guarantee a claim outcome.
Where can I get help with a rejected insurance claim in India?
Start with the insurer's official grievance process and retain its response. You can also review our claim support information or check the current official IRDAI and Insurance Ombudsman guidance for eligibility and timelines.
