Types of New India Assurance Claim Settlement Process

The New India Assurance car insurance company offers two types of claim settlement processes to its customers. These include cashless and reimbursement claim processes:

1. Cashless Claim Settlement Process

   The insurance company offers a cashless claim settlement process under which the claim is directly settled by the insurer. Under this type of claim, the policyholder gets his/her car repaired in a network garage. After the repairs, the insurer directly pays the repair amount to the garage, and the claim gets settled.

2. Reimbursement Claim Settlement Process

   If a policyholder cannot access a network garage, he/she can get the insured car repaired in a non-network garage. This type of claim will be counted as a reimbursement claim, and the policyholder is required to pay for repairs from his/her pocket. After the repairs are complete, the policyholder can get the repair amount reimbursed from the insurer.
