Built for real-world insurance decisions
Bima Headquarter provides commercial insurance consultancy for clients across India. Bima Headquarter is a brand owned and operated by InsureDesk IMF Pvt. Ltd.
Commercial insurance needs a structured view of assets, locations, stock values, machinery, liability, business interruption, and operational exposures. A generic package can leave serious gaps.
We help businesses evaluate risk, choose suitable policy structures, and prepare claim-ready documentation for fire, burglary, liability, transit, and other corporate risks.

Frequently asked questions
Can one commercial insurance policy cover my factory building, machinery, stock, and staff?add
Yes; an Industrial All Risk (IAR) or Commercial Package Policy combines property damage, machinery breakdown, business interruption, and employee liabilities under a single comprehensive contract.
- Core Covers Under One Commercial Package:
- Property & Assets (SFSP / IAR): Covers factory buildings, plant machinery, furniture, raw materials, and finished goods against fire, explosion, and natural calamities.
- Machinery Breakdown (MBD): Protects running equipment against sudden mechanical or electrical failures.
- Business Interruption (FLOP): Reimburses lost gross profit and standing charges while production is halted.
- Employee Liability: Fulfills statutory obligations under the Employees' Compensation Act, 1923 for workplace injuries or fatalities.
Bima Headquarter structures unified commercial packages for manufacturing units in Mandideep, Govindpura, Pithampur, Sanand, and Chakan-Pune.
Does commercial insurance pay for staff salaries and bank loan EMIs if my factory is forced to shut down after an accident?add
Yes; a Fire Loss of Profits (FLOP) or Business Interruption policy specifically pays for net lost profit and continuing fixed standing charges like bank loan EMIs, staff salaries, rent, and taxes during an operational shutdown.
- How Business Interruption Works:
- Standing Charges Covered: Bank interest, permanent staff salaries, building lease rent, municipal taxes, and director remuneration that continue even when manufacturing stops.
- Increased Cost of Working (ICOW): Reimburses additional expenses incurred to resume partial production at an alternative leased facility or through third-party job work.
- Indemnity Period: You choose a recovery window (typically 3, 6, 9, or 12 months) during which claims are payable until normal turnover is restored.
Bima Headquarter models realistic indemnity windows and gross profit sums insured for industrial clients across India.
Do I get full new replacement cost for damaged plant machinery or will depreciation be deducted?add
You receive full new replacement cost without depreciation if your policy includes the Reinstatement Value Clause (RVC), whereas standard market value policies deduct heavy depreciation for age, wear, and tear.
- Reinstatement Value (RVC) Rules:
- Brand-New Replacement: The insurer pays the cost of buying and installing brand-new machinery of equal capacity without cutting depreciation for age.
- Rebuilding Condition: You must actually replace or repair the machinery within 12 months (or surveyor-approved extension) to claim the full new-for-old benefit. If you do not rebuild, settlement defaults to depreciated market value.
- Stock Exclusion: Stocks and raw materials can never be insured on RVC; they are settled on landed purchase cost or market value.
Bima Headquarter ensures commercial policies carry explicit RVC endorsements across all capital machinery and civil assets.
What documents do I need to submit to get my commercial claim approved quickly?add
A fast commercial claim approval requires the formal claim form, Fire Brigade / Police Panchnama, repair estimates, purchase invoices, Fixed Asset Register (FAR), and audited stock statements.
- Essential Claim Dossier Checklist:
- Step 1: Claim Intimation Form submitted within 24 hours to generate the official claim number.
- Step 2: Fire incident report or police FIR/Panchnama confirming accidental cause.
- Step 3: Equipment purchase bills, capital asset register, and manufacturer replacement quotations.
- Step 4: For inventory losses: GST inward-outward registers, physical stock verification sheets, and bank stock hypothecation statements.
- Step 5: For business interruption: Audited Profit & Loss accounts and monthly sales tax/GST returns.
Bima Headquarter coordinates on-site IRDAI surveyor inspections within 24 to 48 hours nationwide to accelerate settlement.
