Who gets the insurance money then?

IRDAI clarified this rare but critical situation.
Let’s break it down 👇

#InsuranceNews #IRDAI #termInsurance #insuranceupdates Life insurance usually feels straightforward:
You buy a policy, you're asked to name a nominee, usually a close family member, like a spouse.

The idea? If something happens to you, they get the insurance payout.

Simple, right?
Well… not always. ❌
