Studies have shown that bank executives and insurers
continue to cheat and mis-sell insurance products. Many bank executives do not
understand insurance, yet continue to sell life insurance plans to pocket high
commissions.
A common way bank executives and insurers cheat you, is they
don’t mention the free look period. You can return a life insurance plan if you
are not satisfied with the terms and conditions, within 15 days of receiving
policy documents.
IndianMoney advises you to understand free look period,
before availing life insurance plans. Want to know more on term life insurance plans?
