Consumer Commission Orders LIC to Pay Rs 5 Lakh After Wrongful Claim Denial

A consumer commission has directed LIC to pay Rs 5 lakh in insurance money to a family after the insurer wrongfully denied their claim following the death of their son. LIC had repudiated the claim, prompting the family to approach the consumer forum for relief. The commission referenced a National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruling on 'silent diseases', noting that individuals may be unaware of a medical condition until symptoms become evident. It also cited a Punjab and Haryana High Court judgment related to unjust repudiation of insurance claims. The commission ordered the payout along with applicable interest, ruling in favour of the claimants.

Sanctions-Hit Russia Imports Fuel from India Despite Being a Top Oil Producer

Russia, once the world's largest oil-product exporter, has been forced to import refined fuels such as gasoline from India.

Domestic refinery outages and infrastructure disruptions have significantly constrained Russia's fuel production capabilities. While the volume of these imports remains relatively modest, the shift marks a striking reversal for a country that long dominated global oil-product exports. The situation also adds logistical costs to Russia's already sanctions-strained energy sector.
