LIC rejects insurance claim saying policyholder hid illnesses: Court says past typhoid, jaundice had no link with sudden heart attack; insurer ordered to pay over Rs 10 lakh

LIC rejects insurance claim saying policyholder hid illnesses: LIC rejected a death claim filed by a Guntur widow, arguing her husband had hidden past bouts of typhoid and jaundice when he took out a policy in 2021. A consumer commission has now ruled that those illnesses had no connection to the sudden cardiac arrest that killed him, and ordered LIC to pay Rs 10.10 lakh with 9 per cent interest.
