there is a difference between assigning the policy and nominating the policy.
I will just get clarified from Mr.balas.balaji that whether he want to nominate this policy benefits to his family members or
he want to assign the policy to someone who is in business relation with him.
Once i get this information then i can surely tell you more about it.
One more to add from which country you have purchased this policy??

| I think you may discuss the issue with your agent. The policy holder, technically, can name anyone as the beneficiary on his/her plan. |

Kelvin, they aren't talking about beneficiaries here. They're discussing assigning ownership of a life insurance policy to someone other than the original policyholder.
Guys- every life insurance contract that I have ever seen from just about any country has an assignment provision contained within the policy language that shows the terms and conditions of all assignment options, usually concentrating on absolute, collateral and business buy-sell contract assignments.
Is this what the OP is concerned about? There's both a little and a lot to this, and the policyholder should think verrrrrrrry carefully before assigning the policy.

But Teacher, I think the OP is asking about an international assignment of such a policy.
Can someone really assign from so far away?
If you've come across such instances, then we'd at least know that it's possible. Steven |

| Steven, this isn't just an international assignment. This appears to be an Indian insurance policy. None of us have any business even attempting to answer this question without an expertise in Indian insurance law. |

Definitely! His query has got nothing to do with the general nature of global insurance operations. I think the OP should rather ask it at any Indian consumer forum. Steven |

Hi,
I don't think he can. Still, he might just forward this query through the customer service email of any Indian carrier and see what they have to say regarding this.

| In my opinion, he still need to ask him at that time the insured person, and ask in India's policy on this issue. |

Hi,
I guess if the person is on a short trip to abroad then this thing might just work for him. On the other hand if he's gonna settle down for long, then I believe this coverage won't be of any help to him. Steven |

| However, I would like to whether he is a short-term or long-term settlement, and the key to see whether he meets the requirements of insurance policies, I think this does not affect. |

Its very subjective that you can assign or not. It varied for case to case. Assgning means you are giving all your rights to another person. Fist it should be clear that what relation you have with perosn and reason for assigning.
Nomination will be the good option instead of assigning. |

Well, Yes, Life Insurance policies can be traded and assigned freely and this has been approved by the High court in India.
If a policy holder wishes to transfer or assign the policy and gives a notice to such an effect, the Insurers have no other way but to transfer or assign it.

btw to my information....... there are two exceptions to it....... Some Pension Policies and the type of Policies that come under Married women's property act.. for which the best option would be to contact your agent.
