Insurance policy is a contract between the insurer and the insured, known as the policyholder, which determines the claims which the insurer is legally required to pay. In exchange for an initial payment, known as the premium, the insurer promises to pay for loss caused by perils covered under the policy language.
The insurance deductible is the amount of money you will pay in an insurance claim before the insurance coverage kicks in and the company starts paying you. Insurance excess is the amount you will be required to pay when you make a claim on your policy.
An Insurance premium is the payment or instalment you agree to pay a company in order to have insurance.
A policyholder is the person who owns the insurance policy.
An Insurer is a company who sells the insurance policies. An Insured is a person who is the buyer of the insurance policy.

Insurance Premiums / Claims
Different modes of payment are available. You can either pay in cash/cheque or bank transfer.
Please inform the policy issuing office immediately in writing for registering a claim. An immediate report to the police is also mandatory in case of collision, where vehicle is stolen or when third party injury/death/property damage is involved. Delay in informing the Company and the police [wherever required] will prejudice your claim and the Company may deny the liability. Please read the conditions in the policy in this regard.
