Non-Disclosure
Extract of Section 45 of Insurance Act 1938, as amended from time to time, states:
No policy of life insurance shall be called in question on any ground whatsoever after the expiry of three years from the date
of the policy. A policy of life insurance may be called in question at any time within three years from the date of the policy, on
the ground of fraud or on the ground that any statement of or suppression of a fact material to the expectancy of the life of
the insured was incorrectly made in the proposal or other document on the basis of which the policy was issued or revived or
rider issued. The insurer shall have to communicate in writing to the insured or the legal representatives or nominees or
assignees of the insured, the grounds and materials on which such decision is based.
No insurer shall repudiate a life insurance policy on the ground of fraud if the insured can prove that the mis-statement or
suppression of a material fact was true to the best of his knowledge and belief or that there was no deliberate intention to
suppress the fact or that such mis-statement or suppression are within the knowledge of the insurer. In case of fraud, the
onus of disproving lies upon the beneficiaries, in case the policyholder is not alive.
In case of repudiation of the policy on the ground of misstatement or suppression of a material fact, and not on the grounds
of fraud, the premiums collected on the policy till the date of repudiation shall be paid.
Nothing in this section shall prevent the insurer from calling for proof of age at any time if he is entitled to do so, and no
policy shall be deemed to be called in question merely because the terms of the policy are adjusted on subsequent proof
that the age of the life insured was incorrectly stated in the proposal.
For complete details of the section and the definition of 'date of policy', please refer Section 45 of the Insurance Act, 1938,
