Important notes

NIA minimum rate: an insurer may charge more (directive s.43–44).

Insure the full value. Insure at least 85% of what it would cost to rebuild or replace, or a claim is cut in proportion. Small losses (up to 10% of the sum insured or Rs 10 lakh, whichever is less) and total losses are not cut.

No waiting period. Cover starts at the date and time on the schedule, at most 7 days after the policy is issued.
