Industrial All Risk Policy

Industrial All Risk Policy

The Industrial All Risk policy, or IAR as it is commonly referred to in the industry, is an all-encompassing policy that covers all risks that an industry may face, much more than a standard fire and special perils policy for instance. The IAR’s wider cover gives your industry protection against not just fire and allied perils, but also other possible losses such as burglary, accidental damage, and breakdown, besides the all-important ‘business interruption’ as well.
Office/Business Package Policy

Office/Business Package Policy

The Office/Business Package Policy is specifically tailored towards the needs of typical businesses. While the policy offers standard risk cover against fire and allied perils such as earthquake and flood, it also covers typical problems that an office faces such as breakdown of equipment, accidents and burglary. Loss due to fraud, damage to signages like neon lights, expenses towards death of staff on duty, and loss of office material while executives are on tour, are also covered by some insurers.
Burglary Policy

Burglary Policy

A Burglary Insurance Policy broadly covers the loss and/or damage through and due to burglary and housebreaking instances (theft following actual, forcible and violent entry of and/or exit from the premises). The policy could also include cover against hold-up risks and damages caused to your premises.
Money Policy

Money Policy

If while running your business, you are dealing in cash or cash equivalents, you will do well to buy yourself a Money Policy for the amount of cash you may have in hand at any point of time. This applies to both small round-the-corner mom-and-pop stores or larger cash handlers like jewellery showrooms and banks. Under the policy, all money in the form of currency notes and coins, cheques, money orders, postal orders, postage stamps, etc, can be covered against loss either from the premises or during transit.

One of the risks of running a business is possible fraud and underhand dealings involving employees. Such actions could result in embezzlement or even the redirection of company business to their own channels, leading to losses.

Just insure yourself for the expected annual turnover and you are done!
Group Mediclaim Policy

Group Mediclaim Policy

A Mediclaim Policy helps individuals cover the costs of hospitalization. A Group Mediclaim Policy serves to provide a similar cover but for a group of employees of an organization. A godsend to companies in these days of high medical costs, the Group Mediclaim Policy offers financial support to its employees in case of sudden hospitalization, either due to an accident or illness, by paying most of the hospital’s bills. Premiums too can be lower based upon the number of employees covered. Dependents of employees can be covered too under this policy.
Group Term Life Policy

Group Term Life Policy

A Term Life Policy is taken by an individual to insure his or her life for a fixed amount based on which the premium is worked out, which will serve survivors well in case of loss of life during the term of the policy. A Group Term Life Policy is the same policy but taken out by a company for its employees as a group. Many companies use this policy as an incentive for their employees and cover those who are in a certain defined bracket within the company. Since it is a group policy, premiums are generally lower.
Group Gratuity Policy

Group Gratuity Policy

Gratuity is a lumpsum paid on closure of account of any employee who has resigned/retired after serving at least five continuous years at an organization, at the rate of roughly half the latest Basic salary multiplied by the number of years of service put in. Gratuity can therefore be a sizable cash outflow. However, resignations cannot always be anticipated. The Group Gratuity Policy helps cover gratuity payouts across the board, thus avoiding unexpected cashflow problems for the company.
Keyman Policy

Keyman Policy

An interesting policy that can help businesses survive sudden changes in key personnel is the Keyman Policy. This policy is a vital support tool for companies which tend to depend upon a handful of dedicated staff members to get their job done and can help compensate for their absence until a replacement is found. It is a very useful policy for companies that depend upon specific individuals within the organization for their strategy, designs, products or services.
Director & Officer Liability Policy

Director & Officer Liability Policy

Running an organization is filled with risks that go beyond the regular running of the business! Wrongful acts by staff, misleading advertising, fraud, sexual harassment, etc, result in lawsuits from employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders, that are usually targeted at the directors and senior executives of the company, who are personally held responsible for such wrongdoings, whether alleged or real. The Director & Officer Liability Policy provides defence costs and protects the assets of such sued individuals, thus shielding them from personal loss.
Commercial Crime Policy

Commercial Crime Policy

A Commercial Crime Policy insures a company from losses arising out of criminal acts such as fraud, burglary, computer data theft, forgery, embezzlement, and even misrepresentation, by its employees as well as employees of vendors, contractors and sub contractors. All assets of the insured company are covered under this policy, including property, cash, merchandise and bank accounts. Most policies allow up to a 60-day discovery period by which time the losses must be identified and reported, so as to make a valid insurance claim.
Cyber Liability Policy

Cyber Liability Policy

In today’s world wide web-driven world, cyber attacks are becoming increasingly common. A cyber attack paralyzes your company’s computer and online systems, and since most data and financial operations are online these days, this is effectively a halt on your business till any demands of the hackers are met. A Cyber Liability Policy covers losses caused by any cyber attack on your facility, including expenses towards legal fees and other related expenses.
Employee Compensation Policy

Employee Compensation Policy

The Employee Compensation Act, 1923, provides for the payment of compensation by the employer to employees (or dependents in case of fatal accidents) if they are injured by accidents that occur during the course of their work. The Employee Compensation Policy is designed for companies to insure themselves against unexpected costs arising out of such sudden events that result in injuries or fatalities at the workplace. All companies, contractors and agencies that employ workmen exposed to possible hazards will benefit by this policy.
Corporate Overseas Travel Policy

Corporate Overseas Travel Policy

Most corporates have many of their executives traveling abroad on a regular basis. While most travel is event-free, there are many things that can go seriously wrong in foreign trips. Starting from simple issues such as lost baggage and missed flights, travelers can experience theft abroad of their cash and credit cards, have an accident that may require hospitalization, overstay their visa by accident and require legal assistance to return to India, etc. A Corporate Overseas Travel Policy covers such losses and ensures safe and secure travel.
