Following the tragic Air India flight AI‑171 crash on June 12 near Ahmedabad, which claimed 241 lives, LIC has announced a relaxation in its claim documentation process to assist victims’ families. LIC will fast-track claim settlements, reducing procedural delays by simplifying required documents like death certificates. Other insurers such as Bajaj Allianz Life and HDFC Life have implemented similar measures, including setting up emergency desks, to streamline and speedily process claims.

These steps demonstrate a compassionate and streamlined response by the insurance sector to support victims’ families in this difficult time.
