Health insurance is one of those things you don’t fully appreciate until you need it. But when you do, it can protect your finances, give you access to quality care, and bring much-needed peace of mind. If you’ve already invested in a Tata AIG Health Insurance policy, then keeping it active through timely renewal is absolutely essential.
In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about how to renew Tata AIG Health Insurance—whether you’re doing it online or offline, what documents you’ll need, what to check before renewing, and some tips to avoid lapses and rejections.
Why Renewal Matters
Let’s start with the basics—why does timely renewal matter so much?
1. Continuity of Coverage
A lapse in renewal can leave you uninsured. If something happens during that gap, your medical expenses won’t be covered.
2. No Waiting Period Reset
Health insurance policies typically have waiting periods for things like pre-existing conditions or maternity cover. If you miss the renewal deadline, these waiting periods can start over when you buy a new plan.
3. Cumulative Bonus & Benefits
Tata AIG offers No Claim Bonuses (NCB) and additional benefits for continuous renewals. Missing your due date can mean losing these hard-earned perks.
4. Hassle-Free Claims
A valid, active policy makes the claim process smooth. A lapsed policy complicates or disqualifies your claim altogether.
When Should You Renew?
Most Tata AIG Health Insurance policies are valid for 1 year (though you may also choose multi-year options). The policy document clearly mentions:
- Start date
- End date
- Renewal due date
It’s best to renew at least 7–15 days before the expiry to avoid last-minute issues.
If your policy has already expired, Tata AIG usually offers a grace period of 15–30 days, depending on the plan. During this time:
- You can still renew the policy without losing benefits
- But claims made during the grace period are not payable

B. Offline Renewal: Traditional But Reliable
Prefer a more hands-on approach? You can renew offline through any of these ways:
1. Visit a Tata AIG Branch
Take your existing policy document and ID proof. A representative will assist you with the renewal and premium payment.
2. Contact Your Agent or Advisor
If you bought your policy through an agent, they can help you renew it and suggest any necessary changes or upgrades.

Documents You May Need (Especially After Expiry)
In most cases, online renewals don’t require documents unless there are changes. But if your policy has lapsed or if you’re changing your plan, you might need:
- Existing policy number
- Aadhaar/PAN card (ID proof)
- Address proof
- Recent medical reports (in some cases)
- Passport-size photograph (if adding members)
Can You Make Changes During Renewal?
Yes, renewal is a great time to review and upgrade your policy. You can:
- Increase or decrease your sum insured
- Add or remove family members
- Buy additional riders/add-ons (like critical illness, maternity, OPD, etc.)
- Opt for multi-year renewal to lock in premium rates and save on GST
Note: Any major changes (especially increasing sum insured or adding members) may require underwriting or medical checks.
What If Your Policy Has Expired?
If your policy has crossed its expiry date and you haven’t renewed:
1. Check If You’re Within the Grace Period
Tata AIG typically offers 15–30 days from the policy expiry date. During this time:
- You can renew the policy without undergoing medical tests
- But you cannot make any claims during this period
2. Renew Immediately
Log in online or contact customer care to renew. The sooner you act, the better your chances of keeping your continuity benefits.
3. If Grace Period Has Passed
You may need to buy a new policy, which means:
- New medical underwriting
- Fresh waiting periods
- Loss of accumulated No Claim Bonus (NCB)
So, act quickly to avoid a gap in coverage.

- Use auto-pay or calendar alerts to never miss a deadline
