How to cancel Tata AIG

General cancellation steps

• Locate your policy document and policy number before you start the cancellation process.
• Contact Tata AIG customer service by phone, email or the channel used when purchasing - request policy cancellation and follow their instructions.
• Submit a written cancellation request if required; include your policy number, proposer name, reason for cancellation and preferred refund mode.

Product-specific steps

• Travel insurance (single-trip): Cancel online or in writing. For refunds, ensure timing meets the single-trip 21-day rule if applicable.
• Travel insurance (annual): Provide at least 7 days’ written notice to cancel an annual travel policy where required.
• Health insurance (MediCare Select): Use the 30-day free-look clause to return the policy within 30 days of receipt for a refund if no claim made.

What happens when you cancel

Policy access and cover

Once cancellation is processed, coverage stops on the cancellation date specified in the insurer’s communication. Any benefits or renewals are no longer active from that date.

Data and records

Tata AIG retains policy records as per regulatory requirements. Request written confirmation of cancellation and final settlement details for your records.

Will I get a refund?

Refund basics

Refund entitlement depends on product type, timing of cancellation and whether claims have been made. No refund applies if claims have been admitted or paid against the policy.

Key product exceptions and rules

• Full refund before the risk start date for travel insurance if cancelled prior to the start date.
• For single-trip travel insurance, refunds apply only if cancellation is at least 21 days before policy expiry (policy wording dependent).
• For annual travel insurance, a 7 days’ written notice may be required for cancellation-related refund processing.
• MediCare Select (health): 30-day free-look - full refund subject to deduction of proportionate risk premium, stamp duty and other charges if no claim has been made.
• Post-risk start or mid-term cancellations generally receive a refund minus cancellation costs or proportionate premium, subject to policy terms.

Your consumer rights in India

Free-look period

Health policies such as MediCare Select include a 30-day free-look period from receipt of the policy document. During this period you can return the policy without interrogation if no claim has been made.

Refund and grievance rights

• Refunds are subject to policy terms and are typically payable only if no claim has been made.
• Refund mode: refunds are normally credited back to the same account used to pay the premium or issued by cheque in the proposer’s name.
• If dissatisfied, policyholders may escalate grievances through Tata AIG grievance channels and then to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) or the insurance ombudsman if unresolved.

Customer experiences

Positive feedback

Some customers report professional service for term plans with high health cover limits and prompt handling of straightforward requests.

These positive notes tend to highlight smooth onboarding and clear product features where expectations match policy wording.

Negative feedback

• Complaints include slow claim settlement, non-response on customer channels and claim rejections on contentious grounds.
• Other reports describe technical issues with renewal portals and difficulties in renewals after a claim, leading some customers to purchase fresh policies as a workaround.

Documentation checklist

Basic documents to have ready

• Original policy document and policy number.
• Purchase receipt or payment proof showing premium paid.
• Proposer’s ID proof and bank account details for refunds.

Cancellation-specific documents

• Written cancellation request signed by the proposer (email or letter as specified by insurer).
• If cancelling under free-look, a declaration that no claim has been made.
• Any partner-specific forms if policy was bought through a distributor or marketplace.

Common mistakes

Missing timing windows

Waiting too long to cancel is a frequent error. Some travel policies only refund if cancelled well before policy expiry (for single-trip, a 21-day rule may apply).

Annual travel policies may require a 7-day written notice; missing such windows reduces or eliminates refund eligibility.

Poor documentation and follow-up

Not keeping the policy document, payment proof and written cancellation request can delay settlement. Always request written confirmation of receipt and final refund calculation.

Assuming chat or informal WhatsApp messages are sufficient is risky; follow up with official emails or letters if required.
