Surrender your insurance policy
If your insurance policy’s free look period (FLP) is over and you don’t wish to continue with the policy, you can surrender it. Your free look period last for 15 to 30 days from the day you receive the insurance policy. However, when you surrender it, the membership fee/ premium amount will be refunded on a pro-rata basis. If you have an insurance linked to your loan account, it will be adjusted towards the outstanding loan amount (if any). The refund will be processed within seven business days from the date of request.
If you wish to surrender your policy, you can easily do it by visiting our customer portal – My Account and raising a service request.

It's a voluntary decision by the policyholder due to financial needs, changing circumstances, or better options. Surrendering may incur tax consequences and the loss of insurance protection.
If you surrender your policy, you will receive the surrender value, which is typically the accumulated savings or investment portion of the policy minus any applicable surrender charges. The amount depends on the type of policy, how long you have held it, and the premiums paid. It is often less than the total premiums paid.
Surrendering a policy results in losing the insurance coverage and benefits associated with it.
