Axis Max Life Insurance Customer Care

Whether you want to update your nominee, check a claim, or report an unresolved issue, having the right contact matters.

Axis Max Life Insurance is a joint venture between Max Financial Services and Axis Bank, and is one of India's top private life insurers, with a claim settlement ratio of 99.71% for FY 2024-26. However, even with strong claim performance, there are moments when you need direct support fast.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through all customer care details (for Indians, Non-Resident Indians or NRIs, and senior citizens), how to raise a complaint or grievance, and how to check your policy and claim status. 

Axis Max Life Customer Care Numbers

Here is the Axis Max Life Insurance customer care number, email ID, WhatsApp support, and NRI helpline in one place. 

Ditto’s Key Insight: Always call from your registered mobile number or email from your registered email ID. This speeds up identity verification and helps the team pull up your records quickly. 

Email IDs and Branch Contacts

If your issue is complex or you want a written record of your communication, email is the better route. 

• The Axis Max Life Insurance customer care email ID for general service requests is service.helpdesk@axismaxlife.com 
• For customer-related queries, you can email them at claims.support@axismaxlife.com
• NRI customers can reach out to the insurer at nri.helpdesk@axismaxlife.com

You can also visit your nearest Axis Max Life branch for in-person support. Use the branch locator on the insurer’s website to find a branch near you. Carry your original policy document and a government-issued photo ID.

Note: If you purchase your term insurance plan through Ditto, you'll receive end-to-end support at no additional cost. You can reach out to us for claims assistance.

How to Raise a Complaint or Grievance?

Here is a step-by-step process to ensure your complaint is resolved.

Step 1: Contact Axis Max Life Customer Care

Mention your policy number, describe the issue clearly, and ask for a complaint or ticket reference number. Keep this for future follow-ups.

Step 2: Escalate to the Grievance Officer

If customer care does not resolve your issue, email the Grievance Officer at the same address with "Grievance Escalation" in the subject line. Under IRDAI regulations, Axis Max Life must respond to your grievance within 30 days.

Step 3: File with IRDAI (If Still Unresolved)

If 30 days pass without a satisfactory resolution, file your complaint on IRDAI's Bima Bharosa portal at bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in. Attach your original complaint email, the insurer's response (or proof that 30 days have lapsed), and a brief description of the issue. You will receive a tracking token number.

How to Check Policy or Claim Status?

Policy Status

Axis Max Life offers multiple ways to stay updated on your policy:

• Online: Log in at axismaxlife.com, click 'Customer Login' at the top right, and enter your policy number, registered mobile number, and date of birth.
• By Phone: Call 1860-120-5577 (Mon-Sat, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM) from your registered number.
• By SMS: Send the relevant short code to 5616188 for policy updates.
• Via WhatsApp: Send 'Hi' to +91 74283-96005 from your registered mobile number.

Claim Status

Once a claim has been registered at Axis Max Life's head office, you can track it using the claim tracker by entering your policy number and registered phone number. You can also call the claims helpline or email them with your policy number and claim reference.

Note: Claim tracking is only available after the claim has been formally registered at the head office claims center.

How to Escalate to the Insurance Ombudsman?

If IRDAI's Bima Bharosa portal does not bring a resolution, or if you are still unhappy with the outcome, you can approach the Insurance Ombudsman. Here is what you need to know:

• The Ombudsman is a free, quasi-judicial authority set up by the Government of India under IRDAI's Redressal of Public Grievances Rules.
• No lawyer is required. The process is free of cost for policyholders.
• The Ombudsman can issue binding awards for disputes up to ₹50 lakh.
• There are 18 Ombudsman offices across India. You can file online.
• You must file within one year of the insurer's final rejection.
• The Ombudsman typically resolves cases within 3 months.

Important: You can only approach the Ombudsman after first filing a grievance with Axis Max Life's grievance cell, and only if you either wait 30 days for a response or receive one you do not accept.
