⏱️ Know your rights

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before buying

Does a cashless rejection mean my claim is denied?

No. A cashless rejection is usually procedural - a network mismatch, an incomplete document or an insurer query. The claim itself is still open and can almost always be converted to a reimbursement claim. The guide walks you through exactly how.

Is this guide based on current rules?

Yes. Every rule and figure is drawn from official sources current to October 2026 - IRDAI's 29 May 2024 and 5 September 2024 Master Circulars, the Insurance Ombudsman Rules, the Income-tax Act 2025, PIB releases and the National Health Authority.

I don't have a claim right now. Is it still useful?

Yes. Part 2 shows you how to read your policy in thirty minutes, Part 9 shows you how to buy better cover, and Part 8 covers the Section 126 tax deduction. The playbook pays for itself even before you file a claim.

Do I need a lawyer to dispute a rejected claim?

Usually not. The Insurance Ombudsman route is free, does not need a lawyer, and its award is binding on the insurer up to ₹50 lakh. The guide gives you the letters and the order to send them in.

How do I download the guide after payment?

After successful payment on Razorpay, you are redirected to a thank-you page with a download button. Click it to get your PDF instantly - it is yours forever.

Can I get a refund?
