Aviva Dhan Varsha

Policy Return
Hello

I purchased a Aviva Dhan Varsha Policy NDV3069930. As per company rules the policy can be withdrawn 15 days from date of issue.

During the time of application, I wrote a specific letter to indicate that policy document was to be handed over to me personally since my permanent address is in Bangalore and current address is in Mumbai.

The policy was started on May 1st and document was sent to Bangalore instead of handing over to me. Since I was unaware of the policy document being received at my permanent residence, I was not actually able to go to Aviva branch to cancel the policy. However in parallel, I tried to contact phone customer and email customer with no significant success.

Now in May 26th, I happen to visit bangalore and received the document and actively seeking cancellation of the policy.

The following issues are highlighted:

1. The policy document was not handed over to me, as requested at the time of application.

2. I was unaware of the policy document being sent to Bangalore, since I was under impression that I will be receiving it myself.

3. The 15 days calculation for cancelling policy is not valid since I was not aware of policy document being sent to Bangalore, instead of my mumbai address or being hand delivered.

4. The phone support is really bad, since we are not sure if they are really taking request or not.

I am seeking to get my policy premium back from Aviva India

Since I was not sure when the policy was initiated you cannot calculate 15 days from date of sending the document, since I did not receive it.

I was not even aware the policy was in force.

The return on investments was promised to be 9%, but the returns are less than 7% o Aviva Dhan Varsha.

The normal govt deposits rate of returns in the market is 8% to 9.25% which is higher than Aviva Dhan Varsha.

Even though 9% was promised it was not clearly mentioned in the document.

Aviva phone customer call has 10% success rate, if you call them 10 times you will get 1 call through them.

Aviva Dhan Varsha offers death benefit coverage, though not required for my case, the sale executive choose to ignore this, resulting in high cost being paid for life coverage which I did not ask for.

Overall, after my experience, I recommend users NOT TO GO in for Aviva Dhan Varsha as Investment Plan.

I was not aware when the policy came to force, as I did not receive the Policy document in hand.

Now, when I want the policy to be cancelled the company says 15 days notice period. But I still do not have the policy document in hand, they sent to my permanent address.

Aviva company is not helping customers.

The sales person recommended me to keep the communication address as permanent address and he would hand deliver the policy document personally, which was not done later on. This resulted in not being aware of policy document being delivered and hence was unable to cancel before 15 days.

Since the change in address was done on recommendation of the sales rep, Aviva are responsible.

Please issue my premium back immediately.

Inconsitent procedures of Aviva india.

They are ready to send the policy document to your address if you have merely entered it in proposal form. Even if you dont submit the address proof.

Policy document is more critical than other communication letters.

However when your policy is in force, If you want to change address, they will ask for address proof to be submitted to nearest branch for verification. Once you are a customer they will harass you more.

The complaint team has successfully redressed the solution and I have received my money back.

Thanks Consumer Court for helping me.
