ICICI Prudential Life Insurance (ICICI Pru Life) has relaxed the claim settlement process for families impacted by the Odisha train accident.

 The company will also expedite the claim settlement to provide financial relief to those affected by the tragedy.

The processing of death and health claims including those covered under the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), will be done on the basis of just three basic documents.

Documents required to settle claims are bank account details; a death certificate from municipal authorities; if a death certificate is not available, a list of deceased passengers issued by hospitals, government authorities, or the police, and a copy of valid address proof of the nominee.
