Life Claims, Nomination and Assignment
Claims items test death claim documents, maturity claim, nominee, assignment, surrender, paid-up policy, lapse, revival, fraud indicators, and claim communication.
How to study for IC-38
Treat every item as a customer-advice file: identify the prospect, risk, product type, insurable interest, premium, exclusion, document, claim step, grievance path, and agent-duty boundary.
Core concepts
Concept 1
Life Claims, Nomination and Assignment questions reward reading the official India source, role boundary, and stated facts together.
Exam cue: Identify the regulator, role, resident or client fact, document, and timing cue.
Concept 2
The strongest answer identifies the rule, resident or client risk, disclosure, calculation, document, or workflow step before acting.
Exam cue: Check whether the question asks about the certification exam, renewal/CPE, field workflow, or compliance decision.
Concept 3
Eliminate answers that skip India-specific requirements or put convenience above compliance.
Exam cue: Choose the official-process answer before the familiar shortcut.
