SBI Life Insurance Eases Claim Process for Families Affected by AI 171 Plane Crash
SBI Life Insurance has announced measures to simplify the claims process for families of victims involved in the tragic AI 171 plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, 2025. Understanding the emotional strain caused by procedural challenges during such difficult times, SBI Life has relaxed its claim documentation requirements to provide faster financial assistance to affected families.
The insurer has stated that it will not insist on the submission of a death certificate from claimants. Instead, SBI Life will consider evidence of death from official government records, entries from governmental portals, municipal records, or e-governance databases as proof of death. Claims can be initiated with minimal documentation, including the claim form, Policy Document, and details of the nominee’s KYC and bank account information. Family members can also contact SBI Life’s 24×7 toll-free number at 1800 267 9090 for any claims-related queries.
“At SBI Life, we stand in solidarity with the families impacted by this unfortunate tragedy. In these moments of deep loss, our priority is to compassionately ensure a swift and simplified claim settlement experience,” said the company in an official statement.
Families and nominees of policyholders affected by the crash are encouraged to connect with the designated nodal officer or visit the nearest SBI Life branch for assistance with their claims. Dedicated customer support is also available to help with the claims process.
