Fake The New India Assurance Company calls and apps

Calls and WhatsApp notices using New India Assurance's name for cheque releases, cheap mediclaim and fire policy renewals, and how to check.

A public sector general insurer covering motor, health, fire, marine and travel, with offices and policies familiar to many families and small businesses. Because many people use it, scammers pretend to be The New India Assurance Company on phone calls, in apps and on WhatsApp. This page lists the lies they usually tell and how to check before you act.

Lines used in fake The New India Assurance Company calls and apps

A caller says he is from the New India Assurance head office and wants a payment to release a claim cheque
A person promises a government-backed health cover at half price and asks for Aadhaar and a deposit
A shop owner gets a call that a fire policy needs urgent renewal through a personal bank account
A WhatsApp number sends a PDF notice with the New India Assurance logo asking you to pay a penalty

How to verify it yourself

Confirm the policy with the New India Assurance website that you type yourself, or visit your nearest branch or agent whose details are printed on your policy papers. Public sector insurers do not run secret subsidies through text links, and premiums are paid on the insurer's own payment page, never to a personal or shop account. For help over the phone use the number printed on your policy. Treat penalty notices on WhatsApp as unverified until the branch confirms them.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.

Questions

A caller says they are from The New India Assurance Company. Is it real?

Treat it as unverified. Hang up and contact The New India Assurance Company through its official app or the number printed on your card, bill or official website. Never install an app or share an OTP because a caller asked.

Can The New India Assurance Company ask me to install an app on a call?

Be very careful. Scammers use screen-sharing and fake apps to watch your screen and read OTPs. Install apps only from the official store listing that you find yourself, never from a link or a caller.
