from the RBI Bank rate used to determine the prevailing revival late fee (reviewed on every 31 st March).

Page 18 of 31
Explanation II – Mere silence as to facts likely to affect the assessment of the risk by the insurer is not fraud, unless the
circumstances of the case are such that regard being had to them, it is the duty of the insured or his agent, keeping silence to
speak, or unless his silence is, in itself, equivalent to speak.

(3) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2) no insurer shall repudiate a life insurance policy on the ground of
fraud if the insured can prove that the mis-statement of or suppression of a material fact was true to the best of his knowledge
and belief or that such mis-statement of or suppression of a material fact are within the knowledge of the insurer:

or the legal representatives or nominees of the insured within a period of ninety days from the date of such repudiation

Explanation – For the purposes of this sub-section, the mis-statement of or suppression of fact shall not be considered material
unless it has a direct bearing on the risk undertaken by the insurer, the onus is on the insurer to show that had the insurer
been aware of the said fact no life insurance policy would have been issued to the insured.

(5) Nothing in this section shall prevent the insurer from calling for proof of age at any time if he is entitled to do so, and no
policy shall be deemed to be called in question merely because the terms of the policy are adjusted on subsequent proof that
the age of the life insured was incorrectly stated in the proposal.

Prohibition of Rebates: Section 41 of the Insurance Act, 1938 as amended from time to time states:

(1) No person shall allow or offer to allow, either directly or indirectly, as an inducement to any person to take or renew or
