The insured vehicle will be treated as a Total Loss /
Constructive Total
Loss / Cash-loss if the aggregate cost of retrieval and/or repair of the
vehicle,
subject to the policy's terms and conditions, exceeds 75% of the IDV of
the vehicle.
As further guided by the Master Circular on General
Insurance business, if a
damaged motor vehicle is assessed as being unrepairable and hence a
wreck i.e. a ‘total
loss’ or ‘write-off’, the Insurer shall grant the Policyholder the
option to retain the
wreck and accept a ‘cash loss’ settlement (being the IDV less the
assessed value of
Salvage based on competitive quotes procured by the Insurer including
any submitted by
or through the Policyholder).
The liability of the Company shall not exceed the Insured's
Declared Value
(IDV) of the vehicle (including accessories thereon) as specified in the
Schedule less
the value of the wreck in the event of total loss / constructive total
loss / cash loss
for the year in which loss has occurred. In order to ascertain the Total
IDV as on date
of loss, Tenure-wise chart of IDV would be accompanied in the policy
schedule.
In case of Total Theft of the vehicle, the liability of the
Company shall
not exceed the Insured's Declared Value (IDV) of the vehicle (including
accessories
thereon). However, the company shall not be liable for loss of or damage
to accessories
due to burglary, housebreaking, or theft unless the vehicle is stolen
simultaneously.
* The above provisions for determining Total loss /
Constructive total loss
/ Cash loss are in line with the erstwhile India Motor Tariff and as
guided by the
Master Circular on General Insurance products.
