the claim on the death of the life assured. This prevents dispute and also prevents delay in
settlement of a death claim.
When can a nomination be done?
The nomination can be done at the start of the policy, by providing details of the nominee
in the proposal form. However, if the nomination is not given at the beginning, it can be
done at any time during the term of the policy. This nomination has to be effected by
giving a notice in a prescribed form to BALIC.

transferred from the assignor to the assignee.
'Assignor' is the customer who transfers the title and 'Assignee' is the person who derives
the title from the assignor.
What is the difference between nomination and assignment?
While nomination is an authorization to receive the policy monies in the event of death of
the life assured, it does not give the nominee an absolute right over the money received to
the exclusion of other legal heirs. Further, the nomination can be revoked or cancelled at
any time during the lifetime of the customer at his will and pleasure or by a subsequent
assignment.
On the other hand, assignment of an insurance policy is a transfer or assignment of all
rights and liabilities of the insurance policy in favor of the assignee.

What are the rights of an assignor and assignee?

over the policy and the assignee gets the right and becomes the owner of the
policy.

the policy.
A valid Assignment once made cannot be cancelled.
It is only another valid assignment the earlier assignment gets cancelled.
In all the cases, Assignment automatically cancels the nomination. However,

not get cancelled.
Under absolute assignment, if the absolute assignee dies, the benefits under the
policy go to the legal heirs of the assignee.
