The free look-in period is similar to the facility of returning a product if it has any manufacturing defect or malfunctions within a specified period from the date of purchase. The free look–in is mandatory in the case of insurance industry and all insurers are obliged to offer it to all their customers on sale of the policies.
The free look-in period starts from the date of receipt of the policy document by the insured person. In the case of medical insurance, the free look-in period is available for first-time purchase of the policy and not on renewals of the policy. Also, if the tenure of the policy is less than one year, the free look-in does not apply.
