Policy Renewals

If renewed within 90 days of expiry, you can still save your accumulated No Claim Bonus (NCB), but comprehensive motor insurance requires a fast self-inspection video/photo check, while commercial fire policies should be renewed immediately to prevent total uninsured exposure.

• Consequences of a Lapsed Policy:
• Motor Policy: After 90 days of expiry, your entire accumulated NCB (up to 50%) is permanently forfeited. Driving with lapsed third-party insurance attracts heavy traffic police fines and vehicle impoundment.
• Break-in Inspection: Vehicles with lapsed comprehensive cover require a fast digital break-in inspection (via mobile video or photos) approved within 1 to 2 hours.
• Commercial & Fire: Lapsed factory or warehouse policies leave multi-crore assets completely unprotected against fire or flood with zero retroactive indemnification.

Bima Headquarter provides same-day renewal issuance and instant break-in inspection clearance nationwide.

You should always compare quotes before renewing because insurers regularly update risk tariffs, and benchmarking across 25+ insurers through Bima Headquarter can lower premiums by 15% to 40% while securing better add-on covers.

• Why Auto-Renewing Wastes Money:
• Outdated Tariffs: Existing insurers often apply default renewal rates without passing on new market discounts.
• Missing Add-ons: Auto-renewal notices often drop valuable covers like Zero Depreciation or Consumables without your knowledge.
• Fleet Loss Ratio Negotiations: For commercial fleets and factories, presenting clean loss histories across multiple insurers creates competitive bidding that slashes premium outlays.

Yes; renewal is the best time to adjust building and machinery values for inflation, declare newly acquired plant equipment, and update inventory thresholds without paying mid-term endorsement charges.

• Renewal Adjustments to Make:
• Inflation Adjustment: Increase building construction and machinery replacement sums insured by 5%–10% to prevent underinsurance penalties during future claims.
• Add New Equipment: Include newly purchased factory machinery, IT servers, or warehouse racking systems.
• Restructure Deductibles: Opt for higher voluntary deductibles on non-critical machinery to lower your overall renewal premium.

Our advisory team reviews your Fixed Asset Register prior to renewal to ensure all additions are seamlessly incorporated.

Industrial facilities and commercial fleets with good claim loss ratios (low ICR) and certified safety systems can negotiate 20% to 50% underwriting discounts on Own Damage and property fire tariffs.

• Negotiating Factors We Leverage:
• Incurred Claims Ratio (ICR): Fleets with claim ratios below 60% qualify for institutional preferred-risk discounts.
• Safety Certifications: Plants with fire NOCs, automatic sprinkler systems, and ISO safety certifications command substantial tariff reductions.
• Multi-Line Volume Bundling: Bundling commercial property, marine cargo, and group health policies unlocks enterprise discount rates.
