What is Lv=
Overview
Lv= (often styled LV=) is a UK-based insurer known for car, home and other personal insurance products. It is commonly referred to as Liverpool Victoria in the UK market.
Purpose of this guide
This guide explains how a policyholder in India should approach cancelling a policy from Lv= or any foreign/foreign-issued policy while in India, using applicable Indian insurance rules where relevant.
How to cancel Lv=
Immediate steps to start cancellation
- Locate your policy document and policy number before contacting the insurer.
- Check whether the policy is life/health (term ≥1 year) or general insurance - rules differ under IRDAI.
- Decide whether you are inside the free-look period (see "Will I get a refund?").
Contact and paperwork process
- Contact the insurer’s customer service by telephone or email and request a cancellation form or written confirmation requirement.
- Send a written cancellation request including policy number, reason for cancellation, and preferred refund bank details; keep copies and delivery proof.
- Follow up in writing and retain all responses and transaction receipts until the case is closed.
What happens when you cancel
Policy status and access
Cancellation terminates the policy cover from the cancellation date stated by the insurer or the date insurer receives the request, as applicable.
After cancellation you lose cover for events occurring after the cancellation date. Keep confirmation in writing.
Renewals, records and data
Renewal payments stop after successful cancellation; any auto-debit instructions should be cancelled separately with your bank.
Insurers normally retain records for regulatory compliance; request a copy of your final statement and any unit repurchase details (ULIPs).
Will I get a refund?
Life and individual health policies (India)
Under IRDAI, policyholders can cancel within a 30-day free-look period for life and individual health policies with term ≥1 year.
- Insurers must refund premium paid after deducting proportional risk premium, medical exam costs (if any), and stamp duty.
- For ULIPs, units are repurchased at the NAV on the cancellation date and then refunded as applicable.
General insurance and other cases
For general insurance policies (typically up to one year), policyholders may cancel anytime and get a refund for the unexpired period if no claim was made.
Specific travel or overseas product refunds may follow different rules - note that some LV= travel rules cited online apply to UK policies, not India.

Your consumer rights in India
Free-look and refund rules
IRDAI mandates a 30-day free-look period for life and individual health policies (term ≥1 year) with specified deductions on refund.
This right applies regardless of whether a policy was bought online or offline.
Cancellations for general insurance and disclosures
- General insurance policies can be cancelled at any time and may be eligible for a refund for the unexpired period if no claim is made.
- Insurers must supply a Customer Information Sheet (CIS) that explains core features, exclusions, free-look rights and grievance redressal.
For more detail, see the IRDAI-rule summaries available here: 30-day free-look (Economic Times) and cancellation and refund rights (Moneylife).
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Customers report easy online navigation and clear policy wording when buying cover such as car insurance.
- Claims are sometimes handled quickly, with prompt repairs, hire car arrangements and empathetic communication in certain cases.
Negative feedback
- Complaints include slow or poor claims handling, lack of communication, and long unresolved claim timelines in some cases.
- Some customers report needing to chase insurers for refunds or repairs, and occasionally unresolved formal complaints lasting many weeks.
Documentation checklist
Essential documents to prepare
- Original policy document and policy number (pdf/photo if digital).
- Proof of identity and address (as required by the insurer).
- Bank details for refund (cancelled cheque or bank statement with IFSC and account number).
Additional documents for claims or special cases
- Claim-related documents: FIR, repair invoices, medical reports, hospital bills if applicable.
- Proof of purchase or correspondence if you intend to argue mis‑sale during free-look cancellation.
Common mistakes
Missing or vague cancellation requests
Sending an informal or incomplete cancellation request can delay processing. Always include the policy number, clear instruction to cancel and refund bank details.
Keep written proof of dispatch and receipt; do not rely solely on verbal confirmations.
Assuming automatic refunds or ignoring deductions
Assuming a full refund without checking IRDAI deductions leads to surprises. Free-look refunds have deductions for risk premium, medical exam costs and stamp duty where applicable.
Also, cancel auto-debits with your bank if the insurer does not stop future instalments immediately.
Comparative recap
Quick comparison purpose
The table below summarizes cancellation and refund rules that typically apply in India under IRDAI and contrasts them with LV= travel rules that apply in the UK (for context).
How to use this table
Use the comparison to understand which rule set likely applies to your policy based on policy type and jurisdiction.
| Feature | Life & Health (India) | General Insurance (India) | LV= Travel (UK, example) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free-look period | 30 days for policies ≥1 year (IRDAI) | No specific 30-day free-look; cancellable anytime | 14 days for certain travel policies (UK rules for LV= travel) |
| Refund entitlement | Refund after deductions (pro-rata risk, medical exam, stamp duty) | Refund for unexpired period if no claim | Full refund within 14 days for some policies (UK conditions apply) |
| Deductions / exceptions | Proportional risk premium; medical and stamp duty deductions | Refund reduced if claim made; short-period scales may apply | No refund after 14 days in many cases or if policy ≤28 days |
After cancelling
What to check immediately
Confirm receipt of the cancellation request and obtain written confirmation of the cancellation effective date and refund amount.
Monitor your bank account for the refund and keep copies of all correspondence until settled.
Escalation and grievance
- If your insurer delays or denies a valid refund, file a grievance with the insurer first.
- If unresolved, escalate to IRDAI‑appointed channels or insurance ombudsman as per the Customer Information Sheet supplied with the policy.
