Automated Payments via ECS or NACH

For hands-free convenience, you can set up automated premium payments directly from your bank account. Max Life offers two options:

• ECS – The Electronic Clearing Service enables automatic deduction of premiums from your account on the due dates. You need to complete an ECS mandate form to set this up.

• NACH – The National Automated Clearing House also auto-debits premium payments from your linked account as per the schedule. NACH registration formalities are required.

The advantage of automated payments is that you don’t have to remember to manually pay premiums each time. Once registered, premiums are deducted automatically without any additional action needed.

This ensures payments are made on time, helping you avoid policy lapses. The premium amounts are charged to your account 2-3 days before the due date.

Paying in Cash

If you prefer to pay your premiums in cash, you can visit any of Max Life’s designated bank branch locations or company offices.

You will need to provide basic policy details and deposit the premium amount in cash. The insurance company has tied up with multiple bank branches across India to facilitate cash payments.

This allows you the flexibility of paying premiums physically in cash, without needing to use online transfers or payment instruments. The cash payment receipt issued can be used for your records.

Paying via Cheque/DD

Finally, Max Life also accepts premium payments made via cheques and demand drafts (DD). You can submit the cheque/DD along with your premium receipt at any of the insurer’s branch offices.

The cheque should be made in favour of “Max Life Insurance Company Limited” and crossed as “Account Payee only”. Ensure the policyholder’s name is mentioned on the reverse of the cheque/DD.

Cheque and DD payments need to be made at least 2-3 days before the due date to ensure timely credit and avoid lapses. Do keep in mind processing times for physical instruments when opting for this route.

Key Points to Note

Here are some important things to remember about paying Max Life insurance premiums:

• Premium payment receipts – When you pay your premiums, either get an online receipt or collect the physical receipt from the bank/branch. This document is important proof the payment was made.

• Sufficient balance – For automated debits or cheque payments, ensure you have sufficient account balance on the due date to avoid transaction failures.

• Advance payments – Premiums paid in advance are kept as deposit and adjusted automatically on the due date. No interest or refund is payable on advance amounts.

• Late payments – Paying premiums after the due date leads to lapsing of your policy. Avoid late payments to continue enjoying uninterrupted policy benefits.

• Premium reminders – Act on the premium reminders sent by Max Life via email, SMS or physical notices. This helps avoid forgetting payment dates.
