IGMS Complaint Filing: The Step-by-Step 2026 Guide

By Hari Kotian, IRDAI-Certified Insurance Advisor · 2026

The insurer is notified and must respond within 15 days. IRDAI reviews the response, and inadequate replies can be escalated further, including to the Insurance Ombudsman.

Prepare before you file

Policy number, insurer name, claim number, and a clear chronology. Attach the policy copy, rejection letter, correspondence, medical records, and payment receipts - vague complaints are slower.

Registration and form

Register on bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in with email and mobile (OTP verified), select the insurer, describe the grievance with dates, and attach documents. Note the reference number - it powers all tracking.

Speed-up tips

File only after the GRO route to avoid bounce-back; attach every document as evidence; write the grievance as a dated timeline; check status weekly with the reference number.
