  • What are the types of cover?
    There are two types of policy - comprehensive policy and third party insurance. The comprehensive insurance policy offers protection to you and your bike. The comprehensive cover comprises of: 
    • Damage to your vehicle
    • Third party legal liability
    • Personal accident cover to driver (owner)

    Third party insurance is part of comprehensive policy but can be purchased alone. It is mandatory to have third party insurance policy.

    • Intoxicated driving
    • Any contractual liability
  • What if other than owner was driving at the time of the accident? Is that person covered by owner's Policy?
    If the person driving the vehicle has a valid license, the vehicle is insured for all the accidents that occurred due to the hazards specified. To insure the person driving the vehicle, who is not the owner, an additional personal accident cover has to be taken for unnamed passengers. For the owner-driver, the policy compulsorily has a personal accident cover, as per tariff.
  • What is Personal Accident cover? What are the rules governing it?
    The insured is adequately covered in case of an occurrence due to the specified hazards leading to bodily injury/ permanent disability or death. The motor insurance policy essentially has a PA cover for the owner-driver, as per tariff, for which no extra premium is to be paid. For a person other than the owner and driver, the PA cover has to be taken separately paying an additional premium. The amount paid as compensation depends upon the extent of cover opted for. And for the driver, the extent of the cover is in accordance with the Workmen's Compensation Act.
  • Can No Claim Bonus be forfeited? If yes, then why?
    NCB will be forfeited in following cases only:

  • Can the accessories of the vehicle be insured? If yes, to what extent?
    You can insure your vehicle accessories under electrical and non- electrical items whose amount is not included in the showroom price of the bike but are fitted separately to the vehicle. For that you need to declare the value of such items separately, which will be added to the sum insured over and above the IDV (Insured's Declared Value).
  • What is IDV (Insured's Declared Value) and how it is determined?
    The Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle will be deemed to be the 'SUM INSURED' for the purpose of motor tariff and it will be fixed at the commencement of each policy period for each insured vehicle. The IDV of the vehicle is to be fixed on the basis of manufacturer's listed selling price of the brand and model as the vehicle proposed for insurance at the commencement of insurance /renewal and adjusted for depreciation (as per schedule specified below). The IDV of the side bike(s) and / or accessories, if any, fitted to the vehicle but not included in the manufacturer's listed selling price of the vehicle is also likewise to be fixed. Schedule of Depreciation for arriving at IDV:
    • Below the Age of the vehicle & % of depreciation for fixing IDV
    • Not exceeding 6 months: 5%
    • Exceeding 6 months but not exceeding 1 year: 15%
    • Exceeding 1 year but not exceeding 2 years: 20%
    • Exceeding 2 years but not exceeding 3 years: 30%
    • Exceeding 3 years but not exceeding 4 years: 40%
    • Exceeding 4 years but not exceeding 5 years: 50%
  • How to Calculate Value of accessories?
    The value of accessories is calculated on the original cost of purchase of the accessory less depreciation for the usage. The depreciation is applied at the same rate as is applied for a vehicle for calculating IDV (Insured's Declared Value).

    This covers Legal liability to paid drivers /and/or cleaner employed in connection with the operation and/or maintenance of motor vehicle under the Workmen's Compensation Act, Fatal Accidents Act and at Common Law.
