INSURABLE INTEREST

Life insurance companies hold Rs 22,237 crore in unclaimed funds – Here's why no one is claiming it
In India, life insurance companies had Rs 22,237 crore in unclaimed funds at the start of 2023-24. The IRDAI's June-November 2023 campaign retrieved over Rs 1,018 crore. Issues arise when non-family members are beneficiaries, causing complications and cautiousness among insurers. Legal heirs still have claims to the money.

What is insurable interest?
Insurable interest in the property or life is the basis of insurance policies. The essential thing is that there must be some property, right, life or potential liability capable of being insured.

Why you should not make non-family member nominee in life insurance policy
You should not make non-family member as a nominee because it will be difficult to prove insurable interest.
