How to read this: Actual rights depend on the insurance contract, application, underwriting, and claim facts. This page explains general concepts.
Confirm whether the right applies
The regulator's guidance focuses on individual personal insurance contracts with terms of two years or more.
The clock starts after policy receipt
Keep proof of when the policy was received.
Cancellation is different from surrender
A statutory or contractual cancellation right is not the same as ordinary termination after the period ends.
Review the policy immediately
Check benefits, beneficiaries, premiums, payment period, exclusions, riders, and whether the contract matches what you understood.
Try a calculator
Use your own household or policy numbers to compare scenarios. Results are not insurer quotations or claim promises.
