NEW DELHI: Insurance regulator IRDAI has asked life, general and health insurance companies to expeditiously settle the claims of Delhi riot victims and make the payments within 15 days.
The communal violence in northeast Delhi, which was sparked by protests over the amended Citizenship Act, has left 42 dead, several injured and properties damaged.
In a communication to all general, life and standalone health insurance companies, IRDAI said the riots in northeast Delhi during last week of February have had a serious impact on people, property and business in the region.
“The authority is aware that general insurers, life insurers and standalone health insurers may have written policies that extend to lives and property pertaining to the affected areas. In this situation, all insurers are advised to act immediately for fair and speedy settlement of claims,” it directed. (AGENCIES)
