Please refer to paragraph 9 of our Circular No. 33/2006-07 dated November 01, 2006 regarding procedure for payment of sum assured to the nominee of the deceased. On a review it has been decided that the life insurance claim received from LIC would be passed on to the MLI concerned without insisting on adjustment of claim amount for passing onward to the nominee of the expired Chief Promoter. The revised provedure would be effective retrospectively from August 16, 2007.
