Domestic transit insurance. My household items are moving from Delhi to Mohali. I want a transit insurance.
Hello RIza, thanks for writing in. Transit insurance policy is a type of insurance that provides coverage for goods and commodities while they are being transported from one place to another, either within the country or across international borders. This policy protects the goods against loss or damage that may occur during transit due to a variety of risks such as theft, fire, accident, natural disasters, or other unforeseen circumstances.
Transit insurance policy can be purchased by the seller or the buyer, depending on the agreement between the parties. It is commonly used in industries such as manufacturing, trade, and commerce, where goods are constantly being transported from one place to another. The policy covers a range of transportation modes such as sea, air, road, and rail.
In case of any loss or damage to the goods during transit, the policyholder can file a claim with the insurer to receive compensation for the value of the lost or damaged goods, subject to the terms and conditions of the policy. The policy may also cover additional expenses incurred due to the loss or damage of the goods such as freight charges, handling charges, and customs duty.
