Devaluation Amazon pay balance changes - Category based restrictions

Has anyone tried to pay insurance amount more than 25k direcctly at insurance website and using Apay wallet for payment? Does it allow?
Yes, I recently ported to Aditya Birla Max One plan via PolicyBazaar. I made the payment of ₹53K through amazonPay wallet.

The only reason I am using PolicyBazaar is amazonPay. I even told them on call if no amazonPay then no PolicyBazaar from myside. They even confirmed me, sir 20% of our customers pays through amazonPay wallet so we won't remove this.
 
Is there any third party portal like Amazon Pay where we can make insurance payments (using Apay GVs?) Manipal Cigna is not working on Amazon Pay. There is way to contact them as well. (I dread the occassion if I have to make a claim through them).
