NCB Protection Cover in Two Wheeler Insurance

What is a No Claim Bonus Protection Cover in Two-Wheelers?

A No Claim Bonus or NCB is a discount on the premium given to the policyholder for not raising a claim during the policy tenure and encouraging safe driving practices. NCB is a feature that offers a maximum of 50% savings on premiums after five consecutive claim-free years.

However, if a policyholder raises a claim during the policy tenure then he/she will not be eligible to get the benefit of No Claim Bonus anymore. Whereas with the NCB Protection add-on, the policyholder gets to enjoy the benefits of the No Claim Bonus even if a claim for loss or damage is filed.
