I had paid for rs 30676/- premium due on 27/04/2018 through net banking with my saving account:-[protected] o[censored]cobank, narayanan pura, ahmedabad having ifsc code:-ucba00000255
I attached herewith the copy of mini statement generated by mobile banking showing debit entry for the above amount favoring ibp citrus[protected] date 27042018, hence i request you kindly to look into the matter and resolve my query & refund me the same amount to my account as soon as possible & oblige me

Sir,

There is a mistake in your calculation. For the last one month, i had not taken any switches. The last switch was done on 20/3/2018, with transaction id : 1168418. After taking this switch, my complete units are allocated in the money market fund.
On 28/3/2018, 2353.4815 units are there in the money market fund with nav of rupees 18.85 per unit. On that date the fund value was rs 44374.89.
Today on 24/4/2018, i found that only 2337.5362 units are there in the money market fund, with nav of rs 18.93 per unit. The fund value on today as per your calculation is rs 44259.39.
Ie, this serious mistake made from your side made a loss of 16 units for me.
The correct fund value as on today if this mistake had not happened will be rs 44551.40. Ie, 2353.4815 units @ rs 18.93 per unit.
So, i request you to correct the fund value as early as possible.

I was sold an ICICI prudential policy by an insurance agent at standard chartered bank, however I wasn't informed that the policy cannot be cancelled at any point. I wish to cancel the policy as it is no longer relevant to me however it was denied by ICICI prudential and they have auto debited my bank account without my permission. I wish to escalate the matter with Standard Chartered Bank for misguiding me and with ICICI prudential for debiting...

To,

Icici prudential life insurance co.

I would like to submit a complaint against vikas. I and my daughter went to icici bank ulhasnagar 5 branch to open a nri account and vikas started discussing about life policy to us. He pressured us a lot to buy the policy. We requested him that we need some time to make a decision, but he continued to force us. He kept calling us multiple times a day to buy this policy. He even came to our house and wasn’t ready to leave until we signed the policy.

He promised that he would cancel this policy later if we were not satisfied and also said that he’d take care of all the process to cancel the policy without costing single penny. We asked him again if there would be any charges on canceling the policy but he kept saying there wouldnt be charges.

We than wanted to cancel the policy and contacted him to cancel the policy. He initially refused to cancel the policy and kept insisting us for days to continue the policy. He than refused to help me with the cancelation process. He kept giving excuses to not cancel the policy. He said that policy can not be canceled until march end. (Which isn’t true). Then he said to wait until we get policy documents to our house. After a week, he said to go to kalyan, its only 10rs auto to go there in a very rude manner. He used insulting language.

The policy is now canceled but around 6, 000 rs charged for cancellation. Vikas and kalyan branch manager assured us that they would pay us the difference if there are any charges and made sure we get everything back. He has no knowledge of anything and how to treat a customer.

If even then you try for electronic clearing of premium amount and dishonor charges are deducted from account, you will be held responible and it has to be refunded to me. It is matter of forgery, cheating and fraud.
Your agent mr. Gaurav tewari, code no. 01033305 has cheated me and doing the illegal practices. He has taken my signature on blank form with the promise that he will not cheat. I had signed on blank form in his good faith and promise.
Moreover i had severely intimated you that this matter is pending in the court of bank ombudsman, lucknow.
I has had requested you to keep pending the premium payment till and until final decision is not declared. At present no obdusman is working at lucknow.
Therfore you are requested to keep patience and wait for the decision of bank ombudsman, lucknow and do not try to withdraw premium amount from my saving bank account as mentioned above because it has small amount as balance.

This policy was cancelled in review/free-look period on my repeated requests in the month of march’17 because it was issued without my concent & contrary to the described terms & condition.
It was told before entering into the policy that the premium payment amount will be 3.75% annually and no broker will be involved. But on the contrary the total charges & taxes was deducted rs. 18, 472.96 and mr. Garav tiwari (Licience/code no.;[protected] as a broker was involved. It was later cancelled & after cancellation approx. An amount of rs. 332/= was deducted. You hold an amount of rs. 2, 73, 937.17 & out of this amount rs.73, 971/= was returned in my account after several request in the month of june’17 without interest and the cancellation amount of rs.980 + rs.332/= against my son mr naman kumar’s cancelled policy in free look period is not returned till date.
(2). You again hold my amount of rs.2, 00, 000/= out of the above amount and issued another policy named as icici pru elite life ii no.[protected], premium amount rs. 2, 00, 000/yr., dt.28.03.17 was issued from your shara gunj branch, lucknow on the name of my daughter miss devanshi arya and i am named as proposer for a period of ten years again mentioning the name of mr. Garav tiwari (Licience/code no.;[protected] as a broker and the total charges & taxes was deducted rs. 12, 314.96 and again it was issued without my concent & contrary to the described terms & condition.

Dear sir/madam,
I am prashant parashar and i want to take term plan in your organisation and did all formalities and message came for medical checkup for today at morning but as i came to lab they deny for testings as per him without mail it's not possible for him to perform any activities so my time completely disturbed in this process and the number which had given to me for medical assistance no body reply after many more calls so if at the beginning this is happening then what's about afterservice.

I have raised a query regarding surrendering my policy on feb 20th. I am yet to get reply for that in spite of continuous followup with life line customer care[protected] and nearest branch office (Salem, tamil nadu). Customer care keep on telling that it is getting delayed and 'll take another 48hrs for the past 25 days.

Gsip policy details:
Premium paying term - 7 years
Maturity - 15 yrs
Policy taken 2011
Half yearly premium
No of premiums paid - 13 out of 14
Policy in force

So far i have paid 13 premiums out 14 to be paid so far. I would like to surrender my policy.

As per terms and conditions, if i surrender my policy i 'll be getting higher of either gsv or ngsv

Guaranteed surrender value:
35% of premium paid - first year premium
=[protected]
=rs.57553

Non guaranteed surrender value:
Equal to present value of pusa, discounted at gry at the review date immediately preceding the date of surrender (As per t&c 4 brochure), plus 2% per annum
Pusa = gmb × (Total no of premium paid/total no. Of premium payable)
Gmb = 195000 + 51240
Pusa = 246240 × (13/14)
Pusa = 228651
Ngsv = 228651 discounted at gry + 2% per annum

Method 1:
Assuming gry 8% + 2%
228651 discounted at 10% = rs.205785.9

Method 2:
Assuming gry 8%
228651 discounted at 8% = 208558.92
Discounting at 2% per annum
6.5 yrs = 13%
Discounting 208558.92 @ 13%
Rs.181446.26

Around 2 lak approx to be received

But icici prudential trying to loot my money by giving just rs.1.08 lakh where as i have paid 1.95lakh so far.

The query is regarding requirement of ngsv derivation!.

Respected sir,

I mohammad rafi, resident of hyderabad. I purchased a life insurance policy with icici prudential life insurance co. Ltd on my name, bearing policy no : 22007787. Premium of this policy was rs. 1, 18, 525. I purchased this policy against my home loan from icici but as the policy is not as per my expectations, i have immediately contacted the agent and discuss the same he told ok we will talk again for it after 3 days when i have not got any confirmation from the agent i again called n asked for cancellation then he is not at all interested to cancel my policy and even trying to compromise me.
I still didn’t get the document to my address and i was concerned many of the terms are not as per my requirement. I fail to understand that where am i at the fault when i made call to the agent informing him to stop the process that i am not interested in the policy but he had processed my application.

I think the clarification above is sufficient and i request to understand my situation. I am pleasening you to cancel my policy and i should not suffer for unnecessary reason where the fault is not mine.

So, please look into this matter on earliest

Hoping for a positive reply.

Thanks,
Rafi

I had purchased future perfect policy of icici prudential. My account got debited since last 2 months but still i have not received any policy or any update about status

I had sent multiple reminders to senior grevience officer but they too do not had respond to my concern

I have not received a single phone call from responsible person. This shows they are least bothered about customer. I am having many insurance policy and all had goodone experience. But this is worst service i had ever experienced.

I will not suggest to anyone to have icici services. This is worst service provider in country

I was expecting a phone call after having mail exchange and raising complaint. But i am surprised that no one is interested to have customer service

I want my premium back with interest of 2 months.

Hi

I am currently having the issue of wrong entry of icici prudential life insurance in income tax form 26as. Form 26as shows a deduction of tds of amount 2116 in year 2016 (Ay 2016-17) for the amount 211547 which which was never been paid to me. I never had any connection for any product from icici. I had one bank account many years ago which is also closed for almost 4 years now. I have no idea why the company made such a wrong mistake and putting me in problem. My pan number is bnfps5988a. Please check the details in your record and rectify the form 26as of mine. My income tax filing is being failed due to this mismatch where icici has shown the income of 211547/- on my pan. If the company feel that they have paid the amount to me (I have no idea of which policy and all) please share the details of account where they deposited the money so i can claim it and happily pay taxes to government.

I am receiving below messages from last 4-5 months on [protected]

Please confirm if icicipru manager visited you by giving missed call. Yes [protected], manager did not visit [protected], i was not available [protected]. Alternatively you can also sms on [protected], "y" if manager visited you, "n" manager did not visit, "na" i was not available

I had complained twice over call, but still it is not solved, please solve this issue asap else will take strict action against you

Please find the below attached file and refund my payment i dont need your any office or policy what ever document received for what plan now what you are offering your executive comes to pick the docs and cheque afther that they never call to inform whats going on about the policy i was submit documents on 2nd feb 18 of my wife and my policy still your team are working on that every week offering new plan why whenever i have already share mail for refund the payment of both policy,

Kindly refund my payment asap no more discussion about this,

I purchased the Elite Super plan from ICICI Bank Mogappair branch in June 2017 without any prior information about the lock in period. In this policy, the very first thing the customer has to be informed is about this lock in period which unfortunately your agent from the bank was not even aware of.

Following is the sequence of events leading to my purchase of this policy –

1) I met with one Ms. Mercy in May and told her that we wanted to invest this as a onetime amount for a year in some good portfolio with decent returns in the short term
2) She recommended this policy and told us that this is a government bond with assured returns and better than any mutual funds however this turned out to incorrect based .
3) Since our intention is to just park this temporarily so that we could pre close part of our home loan, we asked about the time frame and she told that the amount can be withdrawn anytime after one year
4) Since this seems to be a better option than a FD, we opted for this plan and the documents reached my home. When read, the document stated that this is a yearly plan and I have to invest 200, 000 every year for 7 years ie., 14 lakhs
5) Since this was not what we discussed, I reached out to Ms. Mercy and told that I will never have any additional money to invest in this policy and that it is a short term arrangement
6) Ms. Mercy reiterated that it is good if we invest however since we don’t have funds, she asked us to ignore and just retain the initial amount and assured that we will get better benefits than mutual funds. When asked about the duration she again reiterated that we can take this out anytime however advised that it is better to stay invested for better returns
7) Since the response was satisfactory, we moved on until I received an email from “[protected]@iciciprulife.com” on December 13th stating that the 200, 000 due in June 2018 would be auto debited from my bank account. This prompted the alarm bells and we decided to reach out to the ICICI prudential office directly instead of Ms. Mercy who had completely misled us

Discussion at ICICI Prudential Office on 12/26:

1) We reached out to the ICICI prudential office in Anna Nagar on December 26th afternoon to link the Aadhaar number and also to check the process of closing this policy since our intention was to invest this lump sum amount and not to pay further as we have a home loan to cater
2) To our surprise the employee at ICIC Prudential office told us that we have an option not to pay and promptly got our approval to opt out of the ECS however told that the amount is locked and cannot be withdrawn until 5 years

I have been trying to explain that the actual policy was not explained by the bank agent who sold this product since our intent is to stay invested for a year max however when I was asked to pay yearly premiums checked with Mercy who suggested to ignore this.
If I have the funds to pay the yearly premium and have voluntarily chosen this policy why would I dispute after your email to pay premiums yearly? I would rather stay invested and reap the benefits.

This is big time cheating and you need to seriously look at the business from banks to decipher if customers are being cheated.

For those of you who are reading this, please stay away from this product unless you intend to invest for 7 years and moreover your money would be locked for 5 years and you can do nothing about this.

Tried responding with the proof that I have thrice and they kept repeating the same response with no resolution in sight. Will keep trying and let you guys know if there is a positive response.
