Frequently Added Questions (FAQs)

Will claim reimbursement be made in foreign currency?

No, all reimbursements are processed in Indian Rupees, based on the exchange rate applicable on the date of the incident or billing.

What should I do in case of lost passport or baggage?

File a police complaint at the local station and obtain a report. Also, inform the airline (for baggage loss) and file a PIR. These reports are needed for claim processing.

How do I track the status of my claim?

Claim status can be tracked via the Reliance customer portal or by contacting the claims assistance helpline with your reference number.

How long does it take to settle a claim?

If all documents are in order, most claims are settled within 10 to 15 working days. Complex cases may take slightly longer.

What is the time limit to report a claim?

Claims should be reported within 24–48 hours of the incident. Delay in notification may impact claim approval unless a valid reason is provided.

What documents are needed for a reimbursement claim?

You must submit the filled claim form, original hospital bills, medical reports, passport copy with visa stamps, boarding pass, and any other relevant documents.

What is Senior Citizen Travel Insurance?

Senior Citizen Travel Insurance is a specially designed policy that provides financial protection to individuals above 61 years of age when travelling abroad. It offers coverage for medical emergencies, hospitalisation, baggage loss, trip delays, and more, ensuring peace of mind during international travel.

Who is eligible for this policy?

Any Indian citizen aged 61 years and above can purchase this policy. It is suitable for both solo senior travellers and those travelling with family members.

Why is travel insurance important for senior citizens?

With advancing age, the risk of medical complications increases. This policy ensures that senior travellers are protected from high medical costs abroad, and provides additional coverage for travel-related contingencies like missed flights or lost baggage.

Is any medical test required before policy issuance?

A medical test may be required for applicants above a certain age or with disclosed health conditions. In most cases, a tele-underwriting process is followed to assess eligibility.

Can a family member buy the policy on behalf of a senior citizen?

Yes, a family member can assist with the purchase as long as accurate information is provided. The policy must still be issued in the name of the senior traveller.

Can the policy be purchased at the last minute?

Yes, the policy can be bought even on the day of travel, provided the trip hasn’t started. However, it is advisable to purchase the policy in advance to avoid last-minute technical issues.
