PROPERTY ALL RISK POLICY (PAR)

This Policy indemnifies against the accidental physical loss or damage to the Property Insured described in the policy. It includes loss or damage due to fire, lightning, aircraft, explosion, earthquake, strike, riot, civil commotion, malicious damage, storm, tempest, flood, bursting and or overflowing of water tanks, pipes and apparatus (including sprinkler leakage), impact by own vehicles, theft or attempted theft (by violent and forcible entry to or exit from the premises) and accidental loss or damage.

CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS POLICY (CLP)

Generally insurance policies cover only physical damage to property by insured perils. This, at best, covers the expenses incurred for repairing or replacing the damaged property. But what about the financial loss suffered due to interruption of business operations whilst the damaged property is being repaired or replaced

This policy offers a solution by covering profit lost due to reduction in turnover arising from interruption of business following damage to the property insured. This policy can be taken only in conjunction with Fire Policy or Machinery Breakdown policy. This policy is also known as Business Interruption Policy or Loss of Profit Policy.

Scope

The policy covers:

  • Loss of gross profit
  • Increased cost of working

Add on covers

  1. Accidental failure of public electricity/gas/water supply
  2. Damage to customer's premises due to perils covered under Fire Policy
