Protecting your most important assets is an important step in creating a solid personal financial plan. The right insurance policies will go a long way toward helping you safeguard your earning power and your possessions. In this article, we’ll show you five policies that you shouldn’t do without.
An insurance company is not liable for any deficiency of service if a policy holder fails to submit the information about the accident, damage and claim in writing, a consumer court has held. “The oral approach to the insurance company for appointment of the surveyor and to determine the damages to reimburse has no meaning unless the required information of the accident, damage and claim are submitted in writing,” the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum (Central) has said.
Assignee of a policy holder would be liable for deficiency in service if an insurance policy lapsed as a result of non-payment of premium in time, the National Consumer Commission has held.

The allowable rider or riders on the product shall be clearly spelt out with regard to their scope of benefits, and in no case, the premium relatable to all the riders put together shall exceed 30% of the premium of the main product.
Insurance probably made a beginning in the ancient land of Babylonia In the 18th century B.C., Babylonian king Hammurabi developed a code of law, known as the Code of Hammurabi, which codified many specific rules governing the practices of early risk-sharing activities. For instance, the code dictated that traders had to repay merchants who financed trading voyages unless thieves stole goods in transit, in which case debts would be cancelled.
