​​​​​What is Third-Party Car Insurance?


A Third-Party Liability Insurance offers financial cover to the insured person against any legal liability arising due to loss/damage caused to a third-party person or property. As per the Indian Motor Vehicles Act, a third party liability cover is mandatory under law and a basic requirement under a vehicle’s insurance policy.​ While choosing a car insurance policy, people often get confused whether to opt for a comprehensive car insurance policy or a third party car insurance policy. While a comprehensive car insurance policy offers overall protection against damages to your car as a result of incidents unrelated to accident / collision; a third party liability car insurance offers cover against any legal liability arising due to damages or injury caused by the insured to a third party.

How Does Third-Party Car Insurance Work?


In order to better understand the concept of third-party car insurance, let us look at some terminologies. For example, in the event of a car accident, the parties involved are as follows: 

  • First party: The insured person or policy holder
  • Second party: The insurance company 
  • Third party: The person who claims for the damages caused by the first party

    • In an event where an insured person with a third party insurance policy is held legally liable for injuries or damage done to a third party, then his/her insurance company indemnifies the insured person. Any losses arising due to damages or injury caused by the insured to a third party or third party’s property, are covered under the third-party insurance policy. In the event of a car accident, an insured person with a third party insurance policy is required to immediately inform the insurance company of the incident. If you were responsible for the accident (or the other driver believes you were responsible), it's almost certain that a claim will be made against you, which your insurance company will be expected to pay. So, for the speedy resolution of the claim it is of utmost importance that  the insurance  company is intimated about the accidental claim at the earliest This is how a third-party motor insurance works.

    How to File a Claim for Third Party Car Insurance? 


    Given below are the vital points that you need to consider in case of a third-party insurance claim:

  • In an unfortunate event like an accident, the third-party must file an FIR immediately after the accident takes place. You must retain a copy of the said FIR and the Charge sheet filed by the Police. On happening of an accident causing injuries to the third party, you need to inform the police and your insurance provider, without any delay and share the valid documents of the vehicle including the driving licence of the driver.
  • In case of an accident, where you are not at fault or you have been impleaded in an accident, though not involved, file an FIR with the police against the person/s who have caused the accident or have impleaded you as a party to the case and defend the case in the court along with your insurer. 

  • In India, Motor Accident Claims Tribunal decides the claim for compensation amount to a third party. In case of personal injuries to a third-party, there is no upper limit, whereas, there is limited liability of insurance up to Rs 7.5 lakhs in the event of losses and damages caused to third-party property or vehicle depending on the involvement of the vehicle insured. A claims petition seeking compensation is filed by the third party before the concerned Motor Accident Claims Tribunal and the judicial proceedings start wherein the vehicle owner, driver and insurer is a party to the case.

  • If the damages and losses caused due to an accident are minor, then it is advisable to settle it outside the court as dealing with the court proceedings is a time-consuming process. 

  • When the matter is decided by the Tribunal and there no violation of the insurance policy and in case everything is in order, the compensation amount awarded by the Tribunal will be paid by your insurance provider to the third party.

  • Collect photographic evidence, if you can. This should include taking pictures of the accident site, pictures of the injury, damaged vehicle or property. This will also help the insurance company get a clear picture of the accident caused.

  • In case of a claim related to personal accidents, all you need to do is call customer care number and your insurer will take care of the rest.

This discount can be accumulated on a yearly basis starting from 20% at first claim free renewal, 25% in the second, 35% in the third, 45% in the fourth and 50%in the fifth and continued for subsequent claim free years.

    Reliance General Insurance has introduced the No Claim Bonus retention add-on cover with private car insurance. This helps you to retain your valuable No Claim Bonus at a small additional premium.

All metro cities (Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune) are part of Zone A, which has a higher rate of premium than the rest of the country (Zone B). So, if you're moving from a Zone B city to a Zone A city, your motor car insurance premium will increase and vice versa.

    • You can cancel this policy and tell the new owner to buy a new policy for the car.

    However, the policy can only be cancelled once we receive a copy of the new policy. This is because it is mandatory for any car to be insured, at least against third-party liability. Also keep in mind that you can enjoy a No-Claims Bonus on the premium for your new vehicle, if you purchase it within 3 years from date of cancelling / transferring the old policy.

    What is loading?

    • Motor Secure Premium Cover


    ​What is NCB Retention Cover?

    This add-on cover helps you to retain your earned No-Claim Bonus (NCB) percentage, even after you’ve made a claim. Without this additional cover, your NCB would drop to 0% if you've made a claim in the previous car policy period​.

    There are a few conditions though!

    • The coverage is available only for private cars.  
    • The age of the car should be 2 years and above.

    What is a Voluntary Deductible?

    ​Voluntary deductible is an amount that you agree to pay towards a claim (in addition to the compulsory deductible) before the insurance company picks up the balance. It is a fixed and minimum amount that you declare to pay when you make a claim. This amount is inversely proportional to your premium. The higher your Voluntary Deductible amount, the lower is your automobile insurance premium. 

    For example, if your claim amount is Rs. 20,000 and the voluntary deductible is Rs. 3,000 then you have to bear the first Rs. 3,000 and the claim will be worth Rs.17,000.

    We will award you with a suitable discount based on the following table.

    When should I report to the police?

    You should report to the police immediately by contacting or going to nearest police station in case there is damage to any third-party property, bodily injury to third party or self, or theft of the car.

    In the event of an accident or a mishap, be assured of complete assistance from us to get you back on the road. Keep your car insurance papers in your automobile at all times.​


    What to do if my car is stolen?

    You should immediately report to the police before registering any claim as a delay in reporting will affect your claim, as an insurance company could deny liability.​

    What is cashless and non-cashless / reimbursement claim?

    ​Cashless Claim: 

    A cashless claim is one, where physical cash does not have to exist during the settlement of the claim. We, the insurers, will pay the repair charges of the car directly to the garage.

    However, this is possible only if the garage is part of our listed network of garages.


    Non-Cashless / Reimbursement Claim: 
    This type of payment or settlement occurs when you choose a garage that is not part of our network. In this case, you need to make the complete payment to the garage at the time of the repairs.

    Later, you can get this amount reimbursed by submitting the original bills and payment receipts to our office.


    Can I choose not to claim if the damage is minimal? What do I gain out of it?

    ​If the damage to the car is minimal, it is always a good idea not to make a claim on your car insurance plan. This will help you to benefit from the No-Claim Bonus (NCB) for every claim-free year.

    If you don't make any claim on your car insurance policy for a few years, the NCB can reduce your premium cost to half the price. In fact, it could very well be the case that the amount you spend on small repairs occasionally is lesser than the amount you stand to lose as No-Claim Bonus.

    How can I cancel my claim?

    You can cancel your claim by calling any of the following helpline numbers:

    Paid Number: ​+91 22 48903009​


     

    Where can I view the list of cashless garages in my city?

    What do you mean by Constructive Total Loss?

    ​If the repair cost of your car (in case of an accidental loss or damage) is more than its current value, it is known as a constructive total loss.

    A vehicle will be considered to be a CTL, where the aggregate cost of retrieval and/or repair of the vehicle subject to terms and conditions of the policy exceeds 75% of the IDV.​

    If I lodge my claim after the vehicle insurance policy expires for the event that occurred during the policy term, will the claim be valid?

    ​Yes!
    If the event of loss or damage took place during the policy period, you will be eligible for the claim even after the policy has expired.​
