Claims Procedure

 
At Birla Sun Life Insurance we have streamlined our  claims settlement process and put various checks and controls to ensure we provide a smooth claims settlement experience.
 
This is the process followed for claim settlements
 
Intimation

The family of the deceased Life Assured intimates the company about the death of the life assured through a Branch executive /Sales officer by giving a written intimation & a copy of the death certificate issued by the Municipal Authority/ Gram Panchayat (mandatory requirement for logging a claim) to the Branch. The Claims Department at BSLI, Head Office can also be directly intimated about the claim.
