The Long Read
Everything you *need to know* is right above this. Scroll down, only if you'd still like to read more (honestly, why?)
If you ever go missing, your nominee can then file a death claim on your policy seven years after filing a missing FIR.
Here are the steps they need to follow to do so:
Remember, till that time, the premiums on your term insurance policy need to be paid so that the policy doesn’t lapse.
If there is sufficient proof that the insured (i.e. you) passed away many years ago, then the insurer will refund the premiums paid after the date of actual death.
In case of natural disasters, the government issues a list of missing people who are believed to be deceased, i.e., “presumed dead”.
God forbid, if you ever go missing in a disaster, your family can take this government-issued list, containing your name, to the insurer and claim your term insurance. In this case, the general rules of submitting a death certificate do not apply.
