The insurers have been advised to communicate the nomination of a Senior Executive in each affected State / UT to the Chief Secretary/ Officer concerned of the State immediately.
Insurers will be responding/assisting the claimants through their 24×7 helplines, special claims desks at district level with delegated claims settlement teams for speedy processing and settlement of claims. Insurers have been advised to settle claim payments/on account payments at the earliest and also encourage policyholders to use electronic communication wherever possible for correspondence.
