Consumer Redressal

Dear Sir I had insured my car with National Insurance Company on the basis of a sale note from the seller. There was a delay on my part in transferring the ownership of the car as the seller was travelling abroad. In the intermittent period my car met with an accident on 12-08-2011. I transferred the car to my name before the submission of the claim. The insurance company has refused my claim on the grounds that the car was not in my name at the time of the accident. I read in Mumbai Mirror (Jan 03, 2013) that delay in transfer of ownership cannot be a ground for refusal of claims. I made several attempts to seek the claim on these grounds but to no avail. I therefore seek your support in settling my claim with the insurance company. Regards Hemant Kombrabail
