Under a tie-up with New India Assurance, IRCTC will offer cover to a passenger in case of theft or loss of baggage. Goods like mobile phone, laptop or other valuable articles will also be covered as part of the travel insurance package.

In a move to make it good travel insurance, IRCTC has also decided to include other options like hospitalization during the journey. The premium would depend on a range of factors like length of the journey and class of travel.
