Questions You Might Have

Why do I need to insure my building?

Your building may get damaged due to fire or other perils and the losses will not be covered by a general insurance policy. For that, you'll need a fire insurance that will cover the damages sustained by the building. Similarly, natural calamities also may wreak devastating losses, which can burn a hole in your pocket. Hence, to safeguard your property, you need fire insurance.

Can I cancel my policy in the middle of the policy tenure? Will the amount be refunded?

Yes, the insurance company will give you a pro-rated refund of premium. If there is any retention of premium or balance for a short period, it will be refunded.

Does fire insurance also offer coverage for jewellery, ornaments and artworks?

Usually, general fire insurance doesn't cover these items, unless discussed with the insurer while buying the policy. However, on special request and subject to valuation, these items can be covered under a policy.

What property insurance should I purchase if I own an SME?

There are various insurance plans offering coverage against risks such as fire, earthquakes, floods that cause damage to the building, unexpected breakdown of any machinery, damage to electronic equipment, workmen compensation, fidelity guarantee, cargo risks cover etc. You can select the Sum Insured for every category based on the insurance needs of the enterprise.

Does burglary insurance cover my household goods when I am away?

A burglary insurance policy covers you against the risk of theft. However, the policy will cease if the house remains unoccupied beyond a defined period unless the insurance company has been informed beforehand. In such cases, you will be covered only if the insurer agrees to extend the cover even if the house is empty. This is why it is important to clear everything at the time of buying the plan.

Am I eligible to claim a higher amount if opt for a higher value?

No. The correct claim amount is decided based on the current market value of your property and the basic Sum Insured. The compensation that is to be offered, in case of a loss, will be decided on whether the property is sufficiently insured or not. If you choose an excessive amount, it will mean excessive premium, while in case the amount is adequate, you'll get an amount is equal to the market value of the property. In both the cases, the offered claim amount will be the same.

How to handle a loss in case of a fire?

Despite all the precautions, you can't predict a calamity. Hence, you need to be calm in case any such situation arises. In case of a fire, inform the local fire brigade who will help you to put out the fire. If there is any loss of another person's property due to the fire or in an effort to douse it, the insurer shall compensate for the same.
Inform the insurer, cooperate with the supervisor at the time of loss assessment. You can also take photos of the loss if the surveyor takes a lot of time to arrive and shift all the unaffected assets to a safe place. Fill the claim form and submit it along with the documents supporting your claim. After the repair or replacement of damages, submit all the bills to the insurer.
