In the month of January 2006, I was approached by Mr. Neeraj Mishra – Asst. Sales Manager of Bajaj Alliance Life Insurance Company, to opt for a policy named Bajaj Allianz Unit Gain Insurance policy.
He convinced me with all the goodness of the product, and therefore I agreed to avail the same.
I was also informed by Mr. Neeraj Mishra that it was a single premium policy which will be matured after 6(Six) years and that I can get my assured sum after completion of six years of the said policy.
Unfortunately, till one year of the commencement of my policy I did not receive any Policy Bonds & certificates from Bajaj Alliance office or Mr. Mishra even after repeated queries & requests. I have tried to contact Mr. Mishra several times but all my efforts failed as he could not be traced.
In the month of February 2007, I received a letter from Bajaj Allianz stating that if I fail to pay the premium of Rs. 50, 000/-, my policy will lapse. I was really confused as I had no documents of the policy with me.
As as result, I had to contact another person from Bajaj Allianz to trace my policy papers. On 10th March 2007 I received my policy papers from an agent who informed me that it was lying in the Howrah Bajaj Allianz office.
I was shocked to find that the policy claimed 3 years of premium to be paid in a yearly basis and after 6 years it will get matured to be withdrawn. Also, the form signed by me was missing from the Bond documents.
Immediately, I contacted the officials of Bajaj Alliance office at Kolkata & Howrah, Mangalam Building, to solve my problems. The officials convinced me that they will surely help me with a solution but till date even after repeated visits and queries they have not provided any solution to it, rather they have informed me that the policy has lapsed.
The above incident has only given a very negative picture about your company but, it also has discouraged me to have further faith on such policies.

Complaint marked as Resolved
I am in contact with their Regional Office at Kochin to receive some information.
Despite numerous faxes / emails / telephone calls, their personnel are non-responding to my request.
Their Regional Managers are changed frequently, as they leave the company for better pastures.
So, each time, I have to speak to new personnel, and I have to repeat my request, and they promise prompt reply. But, next time when I call them, that RM is changed, and I have to repeat my request again. It seems to me that BAJAJ's after sales service is very poor.
Also, now I am an NRI, who is staying outside India. So, I need to change my postal address to receive their mails / Premium Payment Notices. But, Bajaj Allianz Life informed me that they do not have facility to post letters to an overseas address.
