Insurance Claims Guide
What typically happens from loss event to claim settlement — educational overview.
1. Event happens
Accident, hospitalisation, fire, theft or other alleged insured event.
2. Notify the insurer / TPA
Follow timelines in your policy. Late intimation can affect claim outcomes.
3. Document
Keep bills, FIR/police reports where relevant, photos, medical records, KYC and policy papers.
4. Assessment
Insurer/TPA may survey, ask for more papers, or apply deductibles/co-pay/waiting periods.
5. Decision & payment
Approved claims may pay cashless or reimbursement up to limits — subject to policy terms. Rejected claims should receive reasons; grievance channels exist via insurer and IRDAI.
Educational only — not an insurance solicitation or advice to buy a product. Coverage always depends on policy wording, exclusions, limits, deductibles and eligibility. Figures labelled illustrative are estimates, not quotes. Affiliate or partner links, if any, will be disclosed.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is EnrichReturns selling insurance?
- No. This section is education, protection analysis and comparison. Any future partnerships will be clearly disclosed.
- What is the Insurance Protection Check?
- An 8-step guided flow that scores life, health, accident, family coverage, loan protection and emergency fund, then shows gaps and a simple action plan.
- Are cover amounts guaranteed quotes?
- No. Figures are illustrative exposure estimates. Actual premiums and eligibility depend on insurer underwriting and policy terms.
- How do government schemes fit in?
- We explain PMJJBY, PMSBY, Ayushman and crop schemes and link to official sources. Enrollment happens only on government portals.
- Does climate change raise every premium?
- No. We use careful wording: climate-related changes can alter some risks and influence underwriting and pricing depending on peril and location — not everywhere equally.
