How To Keep Track Of Your Insurance Renewal Date Using My Items?

An insurance policy renewal is a standard process where users are subject to make an additional payment to get an extended validity for the term of the insurance policy. The renewal date is calculated based on the duration of the policy period. Most of the policies are usually renewed annually or semi-annually. While availing the insurance policy, we all make up our mind to remember all the dates. But as it gets going, we all tend to fail constantly to make the timely insurance renewal due to umpteen number of reasons. Despite knowing the magnitude of its consequences, we simply aren’t bothered on the renewal dates of various insurance policies.

What are the consequences of not renewing your policies?

When your policy completes a term, you are subject to renewal. If you miss the deadline even by a day, you will not be eligible for the claim. Sometimes insurance companies might provide a grace period for the user to submit the premium and renew the policy without any delays. In other cases, the lapse of renewing your policy can consume a lot of your time and energy.

• You might need to pay extra payments as fines and penalties.
