What is Bima Lokpal & Why You Should File a Complaint If Your Insurance Claim is Unfairly Rejected?

Insurance gives us a promise — that if something goes wrong, they’ll help. But what happens when that promise is broken? When does your legitimate insurance claim get delayed, rejected, or underpaid?

This is where Bima Lokpal (Insurance Ombudsman) steps in.

Bima Lokpal is a government-appointed authority under the IRDAI (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India). It provides free and speedy justice to policyholders who are facing problems with insurance companies, like claim rejections, delays, wrong deductions, or policy mis-selling.

At CallMyCA, we help you file a complaint to the Bima Lokpal correctly, legally, and strongly — so that you get the justice you deserve without hiring a lawyer or going to court. We collect all your documents, draft the complaint in a professional format, and guide you through the entire process — from filing to hearing to resolution.

Whether it's health, life, accidental, or vehicle insurance, we’re here to help you get what’s rightfully yours.
