I took term insurance from PNB Metlife, but I didn't receive the documents from their end. I spoke with their customer care, they asked me to go to the bank its not upto the mark. However the policy cost is very lower than other insurance, I do get some money back benefits.

When I was doing a search for 1 crore sum assured term insurance policy I found this policy with PNB Met Life and I had chosen this after reading the terms and conditions of the policy. When the staff spoke with me from PNB Met Life they said that I have to pay Rs. 5300 as premium but they asked me to do a health check up in one of their registered medical center, after examining they confirmed that my sugar level is 129 so I need to pay Rs. 5800 as premium for this policy. But when I checked it later, Sugar level was normal and that was my only concern here. Besides that, I dont have any issues as it is a good policy also it provides coverage for both accidental and disability too.
