General insurance contracts like car insurance, bike insurance, commercial vehicle insurance, health insurance, personal accident insurance, home insurance and trade insurance etc are typically of one-year duration and you need to renew them before expiry date to stay insured. Let us check out why it is important to renew general insurance policy on time.
Risk Coverage: Renewing the general insurance on time covers the risk on behalf of the policyholder in the event of loss or damage to a policyholder's property, including cars, bike, homes, health and personal accident.
Legal Requirement : In India, it is mandatory to have at least liability insurance (third party insurance) for your car, bike or any other vehicles that you drive/ride. If you've been caught driving without an insurance, you could face fines and/or criminal charges by reason of driving uninsured vehicles.
Prevents Financial Liabilities: Your motor vehicle insurance company will pay for injuries or damage caused to third party if you have been involved in an accident with another vehicle, property or person. However, if you do not renew your insurance on time, your vehicle insurance company will not cover any financial liability arising out of your vehicle.
Non-renewal can lead to loss of No Claim Bonus (NCB): Benefits of No Claim Bonus / Cumulative Bonus will remain intact only if you renew your general insurance policy on time. Failing to renew your motor insurance or health insurance policy will lead to loss of No Claim Bonus.
Non-renewal can lead to Higher Premium: If you do not renew your health or motor insurance policy on time, you may face higher premium while buying a fresh insurance from any company.
Non-renewal can lead to Hassle: If you do not renew your policy on time, and in event on a claim, you have to manage all kind of third party liabilities, cost of vehicle repair / hospital bills etc. All these things can create an unnecessary pressure on your mind. To avoid all such hassles, it is recommended to renew your insurance on time.
