# Telangana panel orders Tata AIA to pay Rs 1 crore death claim 2026-08-15T08:56:02+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Telangana State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has directed Tata AIA Life Insurance to honour a Rs 1 crore death claim it had rejected for alleged non-disclosure. The policyholder, Ramdas Vislavath, a retired Central Excise Superintendent, died of Covid-19 in May 2021, two years after buying a Samporna Raksha policy. The insurer argued Vislavath had not disclosed that ICICI Prudential had postponed his earlier Rs 1 crore proposal on medical grounds. The Commission dismissed the insurer's appeal, holding that Tata AIA failed to prove Vislavath knowingly concealed the information. It noted the insurer had conducted its own medical check before issuing the policy. The District Commission's order stands: Tata AIA must pay the claim with 9% annual interest from January 2022, Rs 50,000 compensation, and Rs 10,000 legal costs. ## Coverage - livemint.com - livemint.com Tags: ICICI Prudential Life Insurance, Tata AIA Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-commission-orders-tata-aia-to-pay-rs-1-crore-claim/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
