SECTION 45 OF THE INSURANCE ACT, 1938
The provision of Section 45 of the Insurance Act, 1938 shall
be as amended from time to time. The current provision
is as under:
(1) 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, i.e. 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.
(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
21
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.
22
PROHIBITION OF REBATES (SECTION 41 OF THE INSURANCE
ACT, 1938):
No person shall allow or offer to allow, either directly or
indirectly, as an inducement to any person to take out or
renew or continue an insurance in respect of any kind
of risk relating to lives or property in India, any rebate
of the whole or part of the commission payable or any
rebate of the premium shown on the policy, nor shall
any person taking out or renewing or continuing a policy
accept any rebate, except such rebate as may be allowed
in accordance with the published prospectuses or tables
of the insurer.
2) Any person making default in complying with the
provisions of this section shall be liable for a penalty
which may extend to ten lakh rupees.
