When you need it

The person who took a home loan has died, and the loan was covered by insurance — a life cover bought with the loan, a group credit-life cover the lender arranged, or a life policy assigned to the lender. The nominee, the surviving co-borrower or a legal heir writes to the insurer to claim, so that the insurance pays off the loan instead of the family.

The insurer decides the claim on the policy's own terms and the papers it asks for; this letter gives notice of the death, identifies the loan and the policy, lists what is enclosed and asks for payment to the lender. It does not promise the claim will be paid. Tell the insurer as soon as you can, because policies set their own time for intimation. Not for the undertaking a legal heir gives the lender to take over the loan (use Legal Heir Undertaking on the Death of a Borrower), and not for a health insurance claim.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

None — a claim letter is not an instrument under section 2(14) of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899. Plain paper or the insurer's claim channel.

Registration

Not registrable and not required.

Notarisation

Not required unless the insurer asks for an affidavit or indemnity with the claim papers.

Witnesses

Not required.
