Understanding General Insurance

What Is General Insurance?

General insurance covers everything except life. It protects your physical assets -- vehicles, homes, businesses -- and covers liabilities and travel risks. Unlike life insurance, general insurance policies are typically renewed annually and provide compensation for specific losses or damages.

In India, motor insurance is the most common form of general insurance and is legally mandatory. However, protecting your home, your travels, and your business operations is equally important. A single unforeseen event -- an accident, a fire, a natural disaster -- can cause financial losses that take years to recover from without adequate insurance.

Motor Insurance

Comprehensive and third-party cover for your cars, bikes, and commercial vehicles.

FAQs

Common Questions About General Insurance

Is motor insurance mandatory in India?
Yes, third-party motor insurance is legally mandatory under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Driving without valid insurance is a punishable offence with fines up to Rs 2,000 for first offence and Rs 4,000 for subsequent offences, along with possible imprisonment.
What is the difference between comprehensive and third-party motor insurance?
Third-party insurance only covers damage you cause to another person, vehicle, or property. Comprehensive insurance covers third-party liability plus damage to your own vehicle from accidents, theft, fire, and natural disasters. We always recommend comprehensive cover for its wider protection.
Does home insurance cover natural disasters like floods and earthquakes?
Standard home insurance policies typically cover fire and allied perils. Flood and earthquake coverage may be available as add-ons or included in comprehensive plans. It is important to check the policy terms. Our advisors can help you find a plan that covers the specific risks relevant to your location.
When should I buy travel insurance?
Buy travel insurance as soon as you book your trip. This way, you are covered for trip cancellation even before departure. For international travel, insurance is mandatory for some countries (like those in the Schengen area). For domestic travel, it is recommended for any trip involving flights or expensive bookings.
