• Make the best use of the ‘No Claim Bonus’ or NCB. No claim bonus is a type of discount given by insurance companies in premium if the client has not made even one claim throughout the term of the insurance policy. The discount is in percentages. The premium is usually 20% for the second year, 25%for the next year, 30% for the year after, and so on. It is to be noted that a client is eligible for No Claim Bonus if only he/she renews the policy within 90 days since the date of expiry.
• The customer can get a decent amount as a discount if the amount is paid online. This is because the labor charges are very less for payments that are made online.
• As per the mandate, every customer is entitled to a 15 day trial period during which if the customer feels that the policy is not apt for him/her, he/she can return the policy to the company. This provision is called the look in the period. The company is liable to return the premium to the customer. However, the cost incurred to the company is in the form of stamp duty, etc. will be deducted from the premium amount before refunding.

Hassle-Free Payment!

Insurance policies are a necessary tool. Although there are policies that provide coverage for a larger period, since most of the general insurance policies are for only one year, the customer is expected to renew the policy every year.

There are two ways to renew the policy - by making payments online or by paying in person. But this is the era of digital networking. With almost every person having access to a smartphone and a secure internet connection, spending time visiting branch offices and filling the forms do not look like the best deal. The online option is easier and hassle-free as you can get the task completed in a matter of five to 10 minutes.

The Bottom Line

Also, since different insurance providers have different features and conditions on their policies, it is always better to go through every individual policy before making the final decision.
