​​A basic car insurance​ pays only for the Depreciated Car value in case of theft or damage total loss. Auto insurance also offers risk coverage towards damage caused to a third party or property. As per law, auto insurance is mandatory in India. There are two types of auto insurance​ – Third Party Cover and Comprehensive Cover.

Under a third party cover, you would get risk coverage only for damages to a third party or third party's property. Whereas under comprehensive cover, you would get risk coverage towards loss or damage of your vehicle in addition with the benefits of third party cover.  A basic comprehensive car insurance includes damage to your car, loss, and theft of vehicle as well as third party cover.

However, by paying little extra as your car insurance premium, you can avail some additional benefits towards your auto insurance. These additional covers are called add on covers in motor insurance ​and are optional.

Take a look at some of the add-on covers in car insurance at Reliance General Insurance offers:​​

1) NCB Retention Add On Cover


What is No Claim Bonus?

No claim bonus (NCB) is a discount, given by an insurer to a policyholder for making no claims during the policy term.

 NCB can be accumulated over the years and the discount ranges from 20% to 50% on the own damage premium.

This is simply a general insurance company's way to reward customer's good driving behavior.

Say at the end of 12 months, the insurer did not claim any own damage then in that case the insurance company provides them a discount by giving NCB based discounts in their premium.​

  • Discount earned by insured for a claim-free completed year.

  • In the case of Own Damage claim, No Claim Bonus gets back to 0%

  • NCB can be Transferred in Same Class of vehicle

  • NCB Reserving letter is issued for 3 yrs from the date of sale of the vehicle
