The following statistic in Hiking FDI limit in insurance is remarkably illustrative of morality of companies:
I can't imagine profitability being any higher than on policies which lapse after a single premium.
Given the above statistics, it would be great if, at the very least, the premium of policies which lapse after the payment of just one premium is confiscated by the insurance regulator.
Furthermore, cancellation of policies should hurt the bottom line. Hence, the insurance companies should not be allowed to deduct any cancellation or service charges when refunding the policies which have been cancelled during the "free look" period.
It is quite disquieting that some major companies have a very high rate of policy lapses like Birla Sun Life 51 per cent, Future Generali 49 per cent, ICICI Prudential 42, Reliance 38 and Bharathi Axa 36 per cent.It explains that my effort to help a retired person scammed by insurance agents was hopeless.
