b. The active concealment of a fact by the insured having knowledge or belief of the fact;
c. Any other act fitted to deceive; and
d. Any such act or omission as the law specifically declares to be fraudulent.

4. Mere silence is not fraud unless, depending on circumstances of the case, it is the duty of the insured or
his agent keeping silence to speak or silence is in itself equivalent to speak.

5.No Insurer shall repudiate a life insurance Policy on the ground of Fraud, if the Insured / beneficiary
can prove that the misstatement was true to the best of his knowledge and there was no deliberate intention

submitted subsequently.
