Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To compare surrender and paid-up options, prepare policy schedule, premium history, current surrender or paid-up quotation, loan and assignment details, confirm the current process with the licensed insurer and Nepal Insurance Authority framework, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Policyholders unable or unwilling to continue future premiums
- Applicants who need to compare surrender and paid-up options using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Policyholder, insured person, claimant or organization identity matching the policy
- □ policy schedule
- □ premium history
- □ current surrender or paid-up quotation
- □ loan and assignment details
- □ Official insurer proposal, policy, claim or complaint reference
- □ Official premium, medical, repair or settlement receipt when applicable
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the licensed insurer and Nepal Insurance Authority framework is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across policy schedule, premium history, current surrender or paid-up quotation, loan and assignment details.
- Ask for a written value illustration, compare reduced benefits and lost coverage, submit the chosen request, and keep the final endorsement or payment statement.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched policy schedule, premium history, current surrender or paid-up quotation, loan and assignment details
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Stopping premiums without a formal choice can lead to lapse and lower benefits than expected.

The decision point most applicants miss
Compare surrender, paid-up, policy loan, premium holiday, revival and continued payment before deciding.
After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
