dear sir/ mam

I am working in birla sunlife insurance (Korba, Chhattisgarh) as an agency manager since 23 march 2011. My branch manager has holded my salary and also he is not allowing me to enter the branch. On 25 march he talked with me in very abusive language and sent me out of the branch by saying not to come to the branch anymore. He holded my salary also. The next day when i reach the branch again he sent me out of the branch and told me not to come to the branch anymore.After that he sent me a notice that i "Why i was absent from 25 march", i doesnt understand this political behaviour of him as he first told me not to come to the branch, and when i reach branch he sent me out of the branch and after that he is sending me notice that why i was absent. I am very dissappointed by his behaviour. In fact his behaviour in the office is very abusive and vulgar due to that many other agency managers have resigned from their posts. Please help me to get my salary and also i want to continue my carrier in bsli pls help me.

I took ULIP policy[protected] from Birla Sunlife Insurance 4 years back through Citi bank. I paid 36000 annually for 3 years which was my locking period.

So, ideally I should get more than 1 lakh Rs. after the completion of 3 years
which was not in my case. When I called I was surprised to know that I will get only 70000 Rs. I was told that if I wait for one more year (four years in total) then I will get the capital amount of 1L which I have invested. Today after 4 years when I call the person says that I will get only 71000 Rs only.

Who in this world would invest an amount of 1L and get a return of only 71000 Rs only? This is clearly fooling people in the name of Insurance.

I have also joined LIC ULIP exactly after 1 year of joining BSLI. I invested 50000Rs for three years and at the end of three years I got 190000 Rs which makes sense. I invested 1.5 Lakhs and I got 1.9 Lakhs after 3 years. This is what investment is, and not BSLI insurance policy.

People stay away from BSLI policies. They are not here to save your money, they are here to earn their livings using your money. Go for LIC which is best and no hidden charges.

This is regarding the fraud that "Birla Sun Life" insurance company has done with me. I have one policy (Policy no.[protected] running with BSLI from Oct-2008, few days back one agent contacted me clamming to be an BSLI employee. He told me that they need to do some changes in my policy in order to provide me maximum benefits. There representative came to me & took a cheque from me to change the mode of payment (currently by ECS). But when I logged into my BSLI account & checked the details I found that they have opened a new policy in my account out of my knowledge & without getting any such request. Not only this they also changes my contact details (Address & contact no.) so that I can not get the policy documents. Now when I called the customer care of Birla Sun Life they are saying that this is my mistake & they are not responsible for this. This is completely a fraud case as I never signed any new policy document as well as I never requested for any change in my address that was registered when I opened a policy in 2008. The company did all this without any proof.

I also mailed my issues to them but not getting any response.


In short:

1. A new policy has been issued without customer concern & signature by following illegal ways & misguiding the customer.

2. Contact information has been changed so that I will never get the policy documents & fail to cancel the same.

I had Bought a Policy fron Birla Sunlife , on 12th of Nov. i recieved the policy dated 31st December 2010 on 5th of January, when i recieved the policy it was a clear case of Mis selling on following points

1. The sum insured was told to be Rs.24.00 Lakhs , which is 22.50 lakhs as per policy documents
2. Allocation charges committed were 1% for the first year , which have been deducted at the rate of 3%.
3. Date of payment is 12th November 2010 , with the receipt number 22901417 , whereas policy commencement date is 31st December 2010.
4. 5% discount on premium was offered for the first year and for 2nd year it was 10 % and for 3rd year it was 15% and for 4th & fifth year it was 20% , as committed.

I approached Dehardun Branch , on 20th January and requested for Freelook Cancellation , As per the instructions of MR, Mamraj , i wrote a application for cancellation , which was duly recieved by Mr. Mamraj with a Birlasunlife stamp , I recieved a communication from the company that the policy was recieved by them only on 3rd of februry , i lodged complaint number 0478/BSLIC/10-11/Comp against my Policy #[protected] with IRDA , The comapny has communicated in refernce to IRDA complaint , which was registered on 1st March 2011, that my free look cancellation request was not with in the specified time of 15 days, where as i have already submitted a reciept from their Dehardaun branch , which clearly shows that they have recieved the free look cancellation application on 20th January 2011 , where as the policy was recieved on 5th January , which is within 15 days of the time allowed for free look cancellation.
The company is behaving in highly irresponsible manner and ignoring the facts , it shows how a cheater can be part of such organisation in pursuit of meeting their targets.
I am enclosing herewith the scanned copy of reciept for your kind perusal. Please help me to get this policy cancelled.

I have given a redemption request for my insurance on April 3, 2011. I have not received the amount till date. When I email or contact their representative they come up with excuses that the quality of the scan copy sent from their branch to the head office was poor and it will take another 10 days. This is not my fault and when I ask them to email me this reason for the delay they refuse.

My honest advise for potential investors would be to stay away from this company.

I worked with Birla Sunlife Insurance company for 1 year and left the company on 30th September.2010
Company asked to fill the F&F forms and PF form at the time of resignation.

I got my F&F settlement in first week Jan 2011 , but did not receive my PF ammount.

After 50 times writing and calling these people since Jan 2011, I have not been able to take the clear answer for PF withdrawal status till date(25th April 2011).

This is ridiculous, if you can not give us back OUR HARD EARNED money, please do not deduct it from our salary.. we are smart investors in this global environment to invest and save for our future.

I have a policy with Birla Sun Life insurance which I gave for redemption on April 3rd 2011.

I was told by a Mr Mahesh at the Birla Office at Kamanahalli, Bangalore that the amount would be deposited within a few days. Its been 15 days and till date I have not received the money due nor have I received any response for the 2 emails I have raised through the birla website.

I finally managed to get hold of an executive that says that there was some issue with the quality of the scan/copy of my redemption request that was sent from their branch to their head office (as if thats my fault) and this was causing the delay in paying me out and someone will look into the redemption process.

Firstly they charge you too much, then they play hardball when it comes to pay back your money. Simply put stay away from Birla and such houses, stick to a very basic LIC term insurance policy.
