Re: death claim

Sir,

You may count 90 days of appeal from the date of decision w.e.f. 16/12/2002

If appeal was not filed against the acquittal then you may file an affidavit before LIC in that respect. Besides this you may file suit for mandatory injunction before the competent court of law for paying the claim amount. Besides this, It is mandatory to submit that certificate.

Thanks
