Fraud Identification and Awareness
At Jio Insurance Broking Limited (JIBL), your security and trust are our highest priority. Insurance fraud harms customers, leads to financial losses and weakens confidence in the insurance ecosystem. At JIBL, we are committed to protecting our customers, employees and partners against all forms of fraud. Our policy is built on integrity, transparency and robust controls. We believe in prevention, early detection, prompt investigation and fair resolution.
What is Insurance Fraud? — Types & Definitions
Fraud in the insurance ecosystem may occur at various stages — application, issuance, servicing, claims, or even post-claim. At JIBL, we recognize the following categories of fraud:

External / Customer-side Fraud
e.g., misrepresentation of facts, forged documents KYC/identity, fake proposals, impersonation etc.

Third-party / Fraudster-driven Fraud
e.g., phishing, fake websites / fake agents / fake emails / fake payment links; identity theft; bogus solicitations; social-engineering scams.

Internal Fraud / Employee-Vendor Fraud
e.g., misuse of access by internal staff or outsourced vendors (call-centre, tele-marketing, back-office), collusion, data misuse, forging records, bypassing controls.

Cyber / Identity-related Fraud
misuse or forgery of identity documents (PAN, Aadhaar, KYC), fake claims using stolen identity, fraudulent online transactions, remote-access scams (e.g. via AnyDesk/TeamViewer), phishing or email-based fraud.

Claims / Post-Sale Fraud
submission of false or inflated claims, collusion with vendors (hospitals, garages, repair shops), fake bills/documents, mis-representation of facts at claim time.
JIBL’s Fraud Detection & Prevention Policy — Our Commitments
JIBL’s anti-fraud framework is built on the following principles and controls:
1
Zero-Tolerance Policy
Any act of fraud — whether attempted or successful, by customers, agents, internal staff, vendors, or third-party fraudsters — will be taken seriously and investigated promptly.
2
Strict KYC & Identity Verification
We verify identity and credentials of every customer, agent, broker, vendor or partner through official documents, authorised ID proofs and cross-checks.
3
Licensed Brokers / Advisors Only
We engage only those who are duly licensed, registered, and whose credentials are verifiable. Impersonation or unlicensed representation is strictly prohibited.
4
Secure Payment & Communication Channels
All premium payments and financial transactions must occur via official payment gateways or verified bank/UPI accounts clearly mentioned by JIBL. We do not ask for payments to personal accounts or via informal channels. All communications will be via official email IDs / phone numbers / portals.
5
Data Privacy & Access Controls
We maintain access controls and audit trails to avoid misuse of customer data by staff, vendors or outsourced entities (call-centre, tele-marketing, back-office).
6
Regular Audits & Monitoring
Periodic internal audits, compliance reviews, and monitoring of transactions to detect anomalies or suspicious activity.
What Customers Must Do — Safety Guidelines & Best Practices
- Always verify the identity and credentials of any “agent”, “advisor”, or “representative” — ask for licence/registration, official ID, and contact details.
- Use only official JIBL payment gateways / bank/UPI accounts / authorised channels for paying premiums or policy charges.
- Access insurance services (quotes, payments, renewals, claims) only via official website/app — never via unverified links, SMS/WhatsApp links or email attachments from unknown sources.
- Read the policy document carefully — understand terms, conditions, inclusions/exclusions, and store the policy copy and receipts safely.
- Keep personal and financial information (PAN, Aadhaar, bank details, OTPs, login credentials) confidential; do not share via phone, email or chat unless you are certain of the recipient’s identity.
- Whenever you receive a call/email from someone claiming to be from JIBL/insurer/regulator — cross-verify via official contact numbers or website before acting.
- If you suspect anything unusual (offers too good to be true; pressure to act fast; suspicious payment instructions) — stop, think, and verify.
After Purchase — Verify & Remain Vigilan
Once you receive your policy document — verify the authenticity immediately: check policy number, insured name, coverage, premium details, and make sure those match with your records.
Save and store receipts, payment confirmations, policy PDFs — ideally also keep a digital backup.
Use insurer’s official communication channels (or JIBL’s official portal) for renewal, claim intimation or servicing; do not rely on forwarded links or messages.
If your insurer provides an online portal for policy validation — cross-check your policy there. If not, you may call the insurer or your JIBL relationship manager to confirm.
Stay alert to identity-based risks: do not share KYC/PAN/Aadhaar except when absolutely necessary and with verified recipients; never respond to random requests for your personal data.
What to Do If You Suspect Fraud — Reporting & Escalation
If you observe or suspect any fraudulent activity (phone call, message, email, payment request, fake policy document, impersonation, suspicious behaviour), please follow these steps immediately:
- Stop all communication/payment with the suspicious party.
- Do not share any further information (OTP, ID, bank details, documents, etc.).
- Collect evidence — take screenshots, note phone numbers, transaction IDs, payment details, date/time, name of contact person, and any other relevant information.
- Report to JIBL using official contact details:
Email: customer.care@jioinsure.in
Phone / Helpline: 18008898730
- We will ensure prompt investigation via our internal Compliance / Fraud-Investigation Unit. If required, we will escalate to insurer, regulator (Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India — IRDAI), or local law enforcement / cyber-crime authorities.
- Stay alert — after reporting, monitor your bank account, email, mobile for any suspicious activity. Inform us of any new developments.
If you have already made payment or shared sensitive information — also consider contacting your bank immediately, changing passwords, and filing a complaint with cyber-crime unit / consumer-forum as applicable.
Additional Alerts — Identity, Cyber & Emerging Risks
With increasing digitisation of insurance services, new fraud risks have emerged. Please be cautious of:
- Fake/blocked websites impersonating insurers or brokers; always verify domain name and website address.
- Scammers using fake “KYC update requests”, “policy renewal alerts”, “bonus offers” to trick customers into sharing personal or financial data.
- Remote-access scams where fraudsters ask you to install software (e.g. remote-desktop, screen-sharing tools) — these may lead to data theft or unauthorised transactions.
- Identity theft — mis-use of PAN, Aadhaar, or other identity documents to obtain bogus policies or fraudulent claims.
- Social-engineering techniques (pressure, urgency, fear, “limited time offers”) — treat such communications with suspicion and verify independently.
