HDFC Life rejects Rs 50 lakh insurance claim over two existing policies: Widow wins after court finds the proposal form never asked about other insurers; full payout ordered

HDFC Life rejects Rs 50 lakh insurance claim over two existing policies: A Kurnool consumer commission has ordered HDFC Life Insurance to pay Rs 50 lakh to the widow of an ICU doctor who died of cardiac arrest while on night duty. The insurer had rejected the claim citing non-disclosure of other policies, but the commission found the proposal form's questions were ambiguous and no fraudulent intent was established.
