Sub.: Complaint for delay in claim settlement.

Sir/Madam,

I had taken a life insurance policy in (Year) from your company, which matured in (Month, Year). My policy no. is ________. The maturity value of the policy is (Amount).

I had submitted the claim papers along with all supporting documents at your _____ branch office on (Date) to get the maturity amount in my bank account.

However, ___ weeks have elapsed since then, but I have not received the money yet. I have paid several visits to _____ branch office and also followed up over the phone with the concerned officials.

It is very disappointing to state that this is the state of affairs of your company, where a genuine customer is not able to get his due money on time even after several follow-ups.

Therefore, please note that if the maturity claim amount is not received within the next six working days, then I will lodge a formal complaint against your company with the Insurance Regulatory Authority. I also reserve the right to demand interest on maturity amount at the rate of 18% per annum for any further delay.

Sincerely,

    (Signature)
