It is a system by
which the losses suffered by a few are spread over many, exposed to similar
risks. Insurance is a protection against financial loss arising on the
happening of an unexpected event.

Insurance is a hedge
against the occurrence of unforeseen incidents. Insurance products help you in
not only mitigating risks but also helps you by providing a financial cushion
against adverse financial burdens suffered.

Accidents...
illness... fire... financial securities are the things you'd like to worry
about any time. General Insurance provides you the much-needed protection
against such unforeseen events. Unlike Life Insurance, General Insurance is not
meant to offer returns but is a protection against contingencies. Under certain
Acts of Parliament, some types of insurance like Motor Insurance and Public
Liability Insurance have been made compulsory.

It is very important
to have adequate amount of coverage for each insurance policy. For any asset or
property insurance, the value of the asset based on market value or
reinstatement value should be taken into consideration before deciding Sum
Insured. If the Sum Insured is not adequate, the percentage representing the
uncovered portion of the asset is to be borne by the insured.

Almost everything that
has a financial value in your life and has a probability of getting lost,
stolen or damaged, can be covered through insurance. Property (both movable and
immovable), vehicle, cash, household goods, health, dishonesty and also your
liability towards others can be covered.
