Understanding Business Insurance Terms

Sum Insured vs. Market Value: Sum insured is the maximum amount the insurer will pay in case of a claim. For property insurance, ensure your sum insured reflects current replacement costs, not depreciated book value. Under-insurance can lead to claim reduction due to the average clause.

Average Clause: If your property is under-insured (sum insured is less than actual value), claims are settled proportionately. For example, if your property is worth Rs 1 Crore but insured for Rs 50 Lakhs, a Rs 10 Lakh claim will only result in Rs 5 Lakh payout (50%).

Deductibles: The amount you agree to bear for each claim. Higher deductibles mean lower premiums but more out-of-pocket expenses during claims. Standard deductibles range from Rs 5,000 to Rs 25,000 depending on the sum insured.

Reinstatement Value vs. Indemnity: Reinstatement value clause allows the insurer to repair or replace damaged property without deducting depreciation. Indemnity basis settlement deducts depreciation. Choose reinstatement for better coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Fire Policy: Covers damage due to fire, lightning, and a limited set of allied perils like explosion, earthquake, flood (if opted). It's a named perils policy—you're covered only for perils specifically mentioned in the policy.

Property Policy (Bharat Griha Raksha/Varishtha): An all-risk policy that covers everything except exclusions. Includes fire, burglary, theft, natural disasters, breakdown, and more under a single policy. It's broader and more comprehensive than a standard fire policy.

Recommendation: For manufacturing units with significant machinery, Property All-Risk is recommended. For warehouses or godowns with minimal machinery, Fire Policy with necessary add-ons may suffice.
Statutory Requirement: Fire insurance is mandatory for certain industries like petrochemical plants, fireworks factories, and high-rise buildings under state fire safety acts.

Financial Requirements: Banks and financial institutions require fire insurance as collateral security for loans. If your property is mortgaged, the lender will insist on comprehensive insurance with bank clause.

Regulatory Compliance: Under the Insurance Act, certain industries must maintain specific insurance covers. Factory licenses also require compliance with fire safety norms including insurance.

Pro Tip: Even when not mandatory, fire insurance is essential for business continuity. A single major fire can wipe out years of hard work and investment.
Base Rate: Premium is calculated as a percentage of sum insured (rate per mille). Rates vary based on:
- Construction type (pucca/kutcha)
- Occupation hazard (fire load, manufacturing process)
- Location (fire station proximity, industrial zone)
- Claims history

Typical Rates:
- Low risk (office): 0.10% - 0.15%
- Medium risk (retail): 0.20% - 0.35%
- High risk (manufacturing): 0.40% - 0.80%
- Hazardous (chemicals): 1.00% - 2.00%

Discounts: Long-term policies (3-5 years) get 25-50% discount. Fire safety installations (sprinklers, hydrants) can fetch additional 5-15% discount.
Definition: Average clause applies when the sum insured is less than the actual value of the property. It states that the insured is their own insurer for the difference and claims will be settled proportionately.

Example:
- Actual property value: Rs 1 Crore
- Sum insured: Rs 50 Lakhs (50% of value)
- Damage: Rs 20 Lakhs
- Claim paid: Rs 10 Lakhs (50% of damage)

How to Avoid:
1. Get professional valuation done annually
2. Opt for "Reinstatement Value" clause instead of market value
3. Include escalation clause that automatically increases sum insured by 10-15% annually
4. Review coverage whenever you add machinery or inventory

Pro Tip: Always insure for replacement cost, not depreciated book value.
Essential Add-ons for Manufacturing:

1. Machinery Breakdown Policy: Covers sudden and unforeseen breakdown of machinery due to internal causes like short circuit, mechanical failure, or operator error. Not covered under standard fire policy.

2. Loss of Profits (FLOP): Compensates for lost profits and fixed expenses during business interruption due to fire or allied perils. Essential for maintaining cash flow during reconstruction.

3. Public Liability: Covers third-party injury or property damage arising from your business operations. Crucial if you have visitors, customers, or delivery personnel on premises.

4. Workmen's Compensation: Mandatory under labor laws. Covers employee injuries or death during employment. Avoids legal complications and ensures worker welfare.

5. Earthquake & Flood: Standard fire policy doesn't automatically include these. Essential for locations in seismic zones or flood-prone areas.
