Yes. The sum insured can be increased at the time of renewal. A formal request is to be made to your insurance company to increase your sum insured at the time of renewal. It is to be noted that the extra premium for the increased sum insured should be paid to the insurance company and other conditions such as Pre existing waiting period, specific disease waiting period etc. should be satisfied for the increased sum insured.
Most of the insurance companies offer 15-30 days of time after the expiry of the policy to renew the policy. The grace period is the time where the coverage is not applicable but the exemptions accumulated over a period of time would be safeguarded. If the policy is not renewed during the grace period, then your health insurance policy would lapse and all the exemptions accrued over the past few years would expire. In short if the renewal is not done on time, then it is considered as a new policy and all the other conditions needs to be satisfied before the coverage kicks in.
No. Group policy is different in terms and conditions when compared to the individual health insurance policy. Group policy is taken by the employer of a company for his/her employees and the premium is paid by the employer, but in case of individual health insurance policy the premium is to be paid by the insured customer. In short you cannot change from group policy to an individual policy at the time of renewal, but you can purchase a new individual policy at the time of renewal and opt out of group health insurance policy.

Documents Required for Health Insurance Renewal
There is a concept of Grace period in every health insurance policy. If you are unable to pay the premium before the expiry date, then the insurance company would give you a grace period of maximum 30 days to pay the health insurance renewal premium. If the premium is paid before the grace period the policy would be in force and all the conditions satisfied under the policy would remain intact. If you do not pay the renewal premium after the expiry of the grace period, the policy would lapse and all the bonuses accumulated would be expired.
