Car insurance expire hona ek common issue hai, lekin is laparwahi ka nuksan behad bada ho sakta hai. Agar aapki car ki policy expire ho gayi hai, to sabse pehle ye jaan lijiye ki situation kitni sensitive hai aur aapka No Claim Bonus (NCB) discount kaise bachega.
SafeDrive Insurance par hum har mahine sainkdon customers ki expired car policies ko bina kisi physical hassle ke renew karwate hain. Niche diye gaye steps ko dhyan se follow kijiye.
1. Car Insurance Expire Hone Par 3 Bade Nuksan
- Section 196 Motor Vehicles Act Ka Fine: Bina valid insurance ke car chalana gair-kanooni hai. First offense par ₹2,000 ka court fine, aur second offense par ₹4,000 tak ka fine.
- Personal Financial Liability (MACT Case): Agar expired policy ke dauran kisi third party ko chot lagti hai ya fatal accident hota hai, to court ka compensation amount (lakhon ya karodon mein) aapko apni personal property bechkar bharna pad sakta hai.
- No Claim Bonus (NCB) Ka Loss: 90 din se zyada lapse hone par pichhle 5 saalon mein kamaya gaya 20% se 50% tak ka NCB discount poori tarah khatam ho jaata hai.
2. 90-Din Ka NCB Grace Period Rule
Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) ke guidelines ke anusaar:
- 0 se 90 Din Ke Andar Renewal: Aapka accumulated No Claim Bonus (NCB) 100% bacha rehta hai. Agar pichhle saal 50% discount mil raha tha, to naye policy mein bhi wo 50% discount apply hoga.
- 90 Din Se Ek Bhi Din Zyada: Aapka NCB poora ZERO (0%) ho jaayega. Agle saal ka premium seedha 20% se 50% mehenga ho jaayega.
Example: Agar aapki car ka own-damage premium ₹12,000 tha aur aapke paas 50% NCB tha, to aapko sirf ₹6,000 dena tha. 90 din paar hote hi aapko poore ₹12,000 dene honge — yaani seedha ₹6,000 ka loss!
