How does my nominee claim the death benefit?

The nominee needs to submit a death certificate, policy documents, and any required forms to the insurer. After verification, the payout is processed.

How much coverage should I get?

A good rule of thumb is to have coverage that is 10-15 times your annual income, but the exact amount depends on factors like debts, living expenses, and future financial goals.

Can I increase my coverage later?

Some insurers allow policyholders to enhance coverage at key life stages (marriage, childbirth) through step-up options. Otherwise, a new policy may be needed.

Kotak Mahindra Life Insurance Customer Testimonials

Customer feedback and experiences.

I want to sincerely thank Sunad for being there for me throughout the entire claim process. He helped me through so many ups and downs, always patient and ready to support when things got tough. I honestly don’t know how I would have managed without his guidance and encouragement. Sunad made a difficult situation feel a lot less stressful, and I’m truly grateful for his kindness and steadfast help.

Prashant Pandey

Had a great experience with them during a difficult time. After my mother’s accident, we had to pay the hospital bill upfront, as cashless wasn’t available. They guided us through the reimbursement process, helped file the claim, and consistently followed up with the insurer until it was settled. Their support with the post-hospitalization claim was equally prompt and thorough.

Jatin Gala

My heartfelt thanks to the OneAssure team for making my insurance claim process effortless.

Their swift updates, timely guidance, and persistent follow-through removed all the stress from what could have been a complicated experience.

I have taken both health and life policies through them and they have advised me well throughout the process and found the best options available in the market.
