How to File an IRDAI Bima Bharosa Complaint in 2026 (Full Walkthrough)

By Hari Kotian, IRDAI-Certified Insurance Advisor · 2026

The Integrated Grievance Management System (IGMS), now branded Bima Bharosa, is IRDAI's official portal for policyholder complaints. It is free, official, and carries regulatory weight - insurers respond seriously because IRDAI monitors it.

Prepare before you file

Policy number, insurer name, claim number, and a clear chronology. Attach the policy copy, rejection letter, correspondence, medical records, and payment receipts - vague complaints are slower.

When to file

After the insurer's Grievance Officer fails to resolve within 15 days, when the insurer's reply is unsatisfactory, for claim settlement delays beyond mandated timelines, or for unfair rejections and partial settlements.
