  • A complaint to the Insurance Ombudsman must be made within 1 year of the insurer's rejectionRule 14(3)(b), Insurance Ombudsman Rules, 2017 (one year after the insurer's order rejecting the representation is received, or after an unsatisfactory decision, or after one month expires from sending the representation with no reply); Rule 14(4) (the Ombudsman may condone delay for recorded reasons)Read the source — opened 25 August 2026

You have not added any evidence yet. You can still send the notice — but the items below are what a lawyer asks for first, and gathering them now is far easier than later.

What to gather

  • The rejection or repudiation letter, with the reason the insurer gaveMost importantThis is the case. Your notice answers the insurer's stated reason point by point, and the date on the letter is what your one-year window to reach the Insurance Ombudsman counts from.If the claim is stuck rather than formally refused, say so — that is a different and equally usable position. If they told you by phone or in an app, ask in writing for the rejection in writing with reasons; you are entitled to know why.
  • The policy document and schedule — the full wording, not just the certificateMost importantWhether the insurer's reason holds is decided by the policy's own terms, exclusions and definitions. A repudiation is beaten by the wording far more often than by argument.Ask the insurer for the complete policy wording — they must give it to you. The one-page certificate or the app summary is not enough, because the exclusion being relied on lives in the full document.
  • The claim form and everything you submitted with itNon-disclosure and incomplete papers are the two most common reasons given. Showing exactly what you sent, and when, is what answers both.The claim intimation number, the acknowledgement email, or the TPA's portal receipt all establish what was filed and when.

This is a checklist of what a lawyer usually asks for first — not a judgement about your case, and never a reason you cannot send the notice. We go by how you describe each item; nobody opens your files to check them, so tick things off honestly — the list is only useful if it is true. You can add more evidence at any time, and only you and our team can see what you upload.
