Despite submitting all valid medical records, original bills and Discharge summaries, my genuine claim was arbitrarily rejected on the grounds of Pre-existing condition not disclosed. I already briefed you that AVM Embolization RBBBLAH is a natural available condition and not any disease. Medically not suggested any type of medicine .Neither related to Heart concerning treated
problems. Only u made a rejection on the basis of non disclosure as per yr clause general T&C. Please note that this rejection is completely baseless, illegal and constitutes a gross Deficiency in Service under the consumer Protection Act,2019.Your company can not deny liability for a sudden, active medical treatment required by a qualified doctor. Moreover I am being compelled by you by saying "We would like to inform you policy will be cancelled only on a pro rata basis only with approximate refund amount of Rs.17554/-" while I did not request you for cancellation.
I hereby call upon your office to review this matter and reverse the rejection decision, setting the full amount of Rs.1.03 Lakh in to my registered bank account within 7 business days from the receipt of this email. If the amount is not credited within the stipulated time, I will be compelled to initiate formal legal proceedings against your company in the DCDRC, Dehradun, without any further correspondence.

Further, you had requested refund of premium; accordingly, we had informed you that a prorated amount can be refunded subject to cancellation of the policy.

ICICI Lombard is not accepting my claim of Rs.103000/- request unethically and unlawfully on the basis of unjustified reason of undeclared precondition AVM( Nerves small Bunch) in lower Pelvis area, which is a natural available body condition and not harmful to my Heart and other body parts . Also this is not medically related to any medicine and by angiography treated Heart main Artery Part which is covered under this super top up health policy of Rs.20.00 Lakh. Instead Company has declared that due to said reason, policy is not valid and hence cancelled. Only Rs.17500/- can be refunded on Prorated basis against my Annual Premium deposited of Rs. 29550/-on 28.10.2025. Policy Validity period is up to 28.10.2026. Neither company is giving me my justified claim nor refunding full deposited premium as company has declared my existing policy is invalid. I consider it a great injustice to me. Therefore, my humble appeal to you to give me yr kind Justice from your Hon'ble consumer court under consumer protection act . All above are true version to the best of my knowledge.
Thanking you in anticipation.
