ℹ️ What is this?

The Insurance Ombudsman is a quasi-judicial body appointed by the Government of India to resolve insurance disputes between policyholders and insurance companies. Filing a complaint is completely free. The Ombudsman issues a binding "Award" within 90 days. Companies are bound by the Award and cannot appeal it (only policyholders can challenge an Ombudsman Award in court if they wish). The Ombudsman can award up to ₹50 Lakhs in life insurance matters and up to ₹30 Lakhs in general/health insurance matters.

Do I need to first complain to the company before going to Ombudsman? +

Yes. You must first file a complaint with the company's Grievance Redressal Officer (GRO) and either receive an unsatisfactory resolution or not receive any response within 30 days — before you can approach the Ombudsman.
