after the expiry of three years from the date of the policy, i.e. from the date of
issuance of the policy or the date of commencement of risk or the date of revival

13
of the policy or the date of the rider to the policy, whichever is later.
(2) A policy of life insurance may be called in question at any time within three years
from the date of issuance of the policy or the date of commencement of risk or
the date of revival of the policy or the date of the rider to the policy, whichever
is later on the ground of fraud:
Provided that 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.
Explanation I- For the purposes of this sub-section, the expression “fraud”
means any of the following acts committed by the insured or by his agent, with
the intent to deceive the insurer or to induce the insurer to issue a life insurance
policy:-
(a) the suggestion, as a fact of that which is not true and which the insured does not
believe to be true;
(b) the active concealment of a fact by the insured having knowledge or belief of the
fact;
(c) any other act fitted to deceive; and
(d) any such act or omission as the law specially declares to be fraudulent.
Explanation II- Mere silence as to facts likely to affect the assessment of the
risk by the insurer is not fraud, unless the circumstances of the case are such
that regard being had to them, it is the duty of the insured or his agent, keeping
silence to speak, or unless his silence is, in itself, equivalent to speak.
(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in subsection (2), no insurer shall repudiate
a life insurance policy on the ground of fraud if the insured can prove that the
misstatement of 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 misstatement of or suppression of a material fact are within the
knowledge of the insurer:
Provided that in case of fraud, the onus of disproving lies upon the beneficiaries,
in case the policyholder is not alive.
Explanation – A person who solicits and negotiates a contract of insurance shall
be deemed for the purpose of the formation of the contract, to be the agent of
the insurer.
(4) A policy of life insurance may be called in question at any time within three years
from the date of issuance of the policy or the date of commencement of risk or
the date of revival of the policy or the date of the rider to the policy, whichever
is later, 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:
Provided that 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 to repudiate the policy of life insurance is
based:
Provided further that in case of repudiation of the policy on the ground of
misstatement or suppression of a material fact, and not on the ground of fraud
the premiums collected on the policy till the date of repudiation shall be paid to
the insured or the legal representatives or nominees or assignees of the insured
within a period of ninety days from the date of such repudiation.
Explanation - For the purposes of this sub-section, the misstatement of or
suppression of fact shall not be considered material unless it has a direct bearing
on the risk undertaken by the insurer, the onus is on the insurer to show that had
the insurer been aware of the said fact no life insurance policy would have been
issued to the insured.
(5) 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.

14
