Electronic Claim Settlement
Aegon Life Insurance (ALI) is happy to inform you that all claim settlements to beneficiaries, can now be made through the National Electronic Fund Transfer (NEFT) wherein the claim amount is directly credited to the beneficiary’s bank account.
For this purpose, the beneficiary is required to furnish ALI with complete bank details for paying the claim amount through NEFT at the time of filing the claim (unless provided at proposal stage). NEFT will be considered as a default mode of payment unless mentioned otherwise by the beneficiary. A brief description of NEFT, its benefits and related aspects, are described below for your reference.
1. What is NEFT?
It is a nationwide system that facilitates transfer of funds from one account of any bank to another account of any bank. For transfer of funds, the participating banks have to be NEFT enabled. At present around 103 Banks with more than 80,000 branches all over India are participating under the NEFT system.
