Points to Note

• Ensure that you renew the policy before the current policy expires.
• Make sure to generate a list of the various policies available in India before you get a new policy or you renew the existing policy. This ensures that you get the best value for the money that you are investing in insurance.
• Make the best use of the ‘No Claim Bonus (NCB)’. An NCB is a discount offered by insurance providers in the premium if the client has not made even one claim during the term of the insurance policy. The discount is a percentage of the amount that was paid as a premium to the policy and this percentage value increases with the year. The premium is usually 20% for the second year, 25%for the next year, 30% for the year after, and so on. It is to be noted that a client is eligible for a No Claim Bonus if only the person renews the policy within 90 days since the date of expiry.
• The customer can get a decent amount as a discount if the amount is paid online as opposed to paying manually. This is because the labor charges are very less for payments that are made online.

Hassle-Free Payment!

Insurance policies are a necessary tool. Most of the general insurance policies are for only one year. The customer is expected to renew the policy before it expires.

The Bottom Line

There are two ways to renew the policy - by making payments online or offline. The online option is easier and hassle-free as you can do it in a matter of 5 minutes.

Also, since different insurance providers have different features and conditions on their policies, it is always better to go through every individual policy before making the final decision.
