Endowment Products
For the Disability and Death Claim Process for Endowment Products, there are validation questions which determine if a claim is paid out or repudiated. Select YES or NO from the drop-down list for each question.
If a Death Claim is repudiated, an option is given for a surrender claim to be paid out and the policy is end dated.
If a Disability Claim is repudiated, an option is given for the policy to be made paid up.
In Addition to this, an Ex-Gratia or Loss Event payment can be processed where a management decision is taken to pay out the claim irrespective of the repudiation. For this, any value can be paid out based on the outcome of the decision.
Examples:
Event: Death
