MESSAGE FROM OUR CHAIRMAN


Dear Partners,
At the outset I thank all the Agents being the business
partners of this great company.
As you may be aware we have crossed the milestone
of Rs.12500 crore Global Premium in the Financial
Year 2012-13 and continue to be the market leader
amidst stiff competition. This, we could achieve owing
to our expertise gained over a period of 94 years in
the Indian as well as overseas market. Also our capacity to underwrite major
risks due to the good will enjoyed in the overseas reinsurance market enable us
to achieve this milestone. I am glad to inform you that you the Agency force are
the major contributor of our premium income. It is because of that we have
included all the agents under the preview of APEP in order to recognize and
appreciate good performers.
At this juncture, I would like to share with you that retail line of business is
growing at a faster rate which is going to be the future of our entire industry.
As you are the people, who bring this business to us, I urge upon you to
concentrate more on retail business. There is great potential in tier II, III & IV
cities for personal line of business. These areas are less competitive and a
hardworking agent can easily tap sizable premium from this segment. Micro
insurance is another area which is also to be focused in coming time. Now we
have also extended portal facility to agents so that it can be used in a big way.
I would also like you to convey the strengths of our company like more than 94
years of presence in the market, number one company in financial rating of A
Excellent , Foreign Operations over 22 countries, high retention capacity to
underwrite major risk and wide network of 1600 offices as a marketing tool to
gain the confidence of the customer.
While we value your long term association with us you can equally be proud to
be associated with the New India which is Born to lead the industry forever
and having vision Leadership & Beyond.
I hope this manual enable you to increase your business and service your
customer well.
I look forward to your continued patronage
With regards,
G. Srinivasan
Chairman cum Managing Director

MESSAGE FROM OUR GENERAL MANAGER


Dear Channel Partners,
I am very happy to place before you the new volume of
agency guidelines which will give you a brief detail of
various types of policies NEW INDIA is having for the
benefit of the insuring masses of our country
Agency channel has contributed approximately 56% of
the total Indian business during 2012-13 and it will
continue to increase its share in coming years. This is
because now RETAIL BUSINESS is going to grow very
significantly due to the increased awareness about insurance and increased per
capita income. It is therefore essential that our agents are updated with the
latest information so as to face the new challenges in the future.
The present booklet has incorporated changes upto August 2013 and it will be
our effort to inform you about the changes in future.
To strengthen our agency force NEW INDIA has initiated many steps and we are
monitoring it further to strengthen you in technical knowledge and provide you
input as you are the face of NEW INDIA before our customers. Apart from the
club scheme, which started in 2008-09 we have created the post of AGENT
MANAGER in each office who will be the single point of contact for all agents in
providing support in all respect so that the agents can provide good service. Two
major initiatives have been launched during this year. They are providing AGENTS
PORTAL and official email facility.
By agents portal you can issue new policies and renew policies where there is no
break sitting at home. The premium can be deposited by you in the designated
bank of your office to conclude the deal. This facility will provide you an opportunity
to serve your clients on 24x7. Presently some policies are available on Portal but
gradually we will be including more policies on Agents Portal.
Another facility of NEW INDIA is the email facility provided to present club
members. By providing email facility agents are having an official identity of
representing NEW INDIA.
We are also in the process of developing a Facebook like profile pages for the
agents. This page will be a mini bio-data of the agent containing the agents
photograph, his contact details, product details, commission payable, Club status,
trainings undergone and association with NEW INDIA. This page is a way for
agents to display their capabilities and substantiate their performance while
meeting with prospective clients. The agent can share URL for this page with his
customers. The page will be part of the NEW INDIA website hence, giving
legitimacy to it. We believe this move will empower our agents and assist them
in getting more business.
We look forward to your feedback on this initiative, when you start using this.
With Regards
Rakesh Kumar
General Manager

MESSAGE FROM OUR DEPUTY GENERAL MANAGER


Dear Friends,
Seasons Greetings to you all.
Now we are coming to you with revised Agents Manual
in more handy form. Last time we have printed the
Manual in 2010. I feel proud to mention that I was the
Task Force Leader at HO APEP Team who Launched
APEP in August 2008 in our esteem organisation.
As you are aware that our esteemed organisation has
taken a lead to roll out APEP Schemes in true sense to recognise the agents pride
all over the country and today we all are the witness for the success of Agency
Channel in cut throat business competition in new emerging scenario.
The Objects of APEP was Regular product training, Periodic soft skills training
for agents, Joint visits with Agent Managers to key clients with a concept of
Creation of dedicated Agents Corner in every Operating Office for prompt Customer
Service. To achieve this single window solution Agents Managers post has been
created at every Office.
In 2010, I was posted to Pune RO and now I am back in the same venture with
more enthusiasm, ideas and plans.
The Company with the success of APEP has decided to include all agents in APEP
and now APEP has to play more wider role in the Company.
Now to strengthen the Agency Force, Company has come out with Agents Portal,
creation of Email IDs under Newindia Parivar domain initially for Club Member
Agents (PY 2011-12). Recently New India has revised many products like
Mediclaim, Householder, Shopkeeper, PA, etc. in the competitive scenario with
revised benefits and competitive rates. Commission structure has also been revised.
These developments gives clear message from New India Management that we
recognise you as Business Partners of New India Assurance Company Limited.
Our worthy CMD has set a 20 points programme before us and we all are abide by
them and are boosted by his energetic initiatives towards Agency Force. He has
set target of 1 lac Agents by 2015 and 50% premium growth in Agency Channel. I
personally feel that you all being a Member of New India Parivar too will take
this 20 points programme as your task to keep our slogan Leadership & Beyond.
I hope this new Agents Manual will be very helpful and handy. We have tried our
level best to give the latest information of products however, if there are any
mistakes, shortcomings, please send us your suggestions to enable us to improvise
the same.
Wishing you all the very best, friends, feel free to contact me and express your
feelings, share your ideas and also inform suggestions, if any.
Regards
V. R. Bhailume
Deputy General Manager

MARINE CARGO INSURANCE


Marine Cargo Insurance covers Loss or Damage to Cargo while being transported By
Rail, Road, Sea and Air.
SCOPE OF COVER :
Cover varies from simple road / rail risks to All risks depending upon the cover taken.
COVER FOR TRANSPORT WITHIN INDIA :
There are THREE types of covers available :
INLAND TRANSIT (RAIL OR ROAD) CLAUSE A, B AND C
CLAUSE A (All Risk) - Provides for All risks of physical loss or damage.
CLAUSE B (Transit Risk) - Provides Basic cover of physical loss or damage of cargo
caused by Fire, Lightning, breakage of bridges and accident/derailment to carrying
vehicle.
CLAUSE C (Basic Risk) - covers physical loss or damage to the cargo by fire and
lightning only.
DURATION :
The duration of cover under Clause A and B is from the time the goods leave the
warehouse till the time they reach final warehouse but not exceeding 7 days after arrival
of the railway wagon or lorry at the destination town.
IMPORTANT EXCLUSIONS :
z Insufficient or unsuitability of packing or preparation.
z Loss or damage to willful misconduct of the insured.
z Wear and tear ordinary/customary loss in weight.
z Loss or damage caused by delay
z Loss or damage caused by inherent property or nature of cargo
z War risks, Riot and Strike and
z Malicious Act (This is excluded only under Clause B & C)
z By paying Extra Premium we can cover the Riot & Strike.
PREMIUM RATES :
Depends upon the factors like nature of cargo, type of packing, Mode of transport,
distance, type of cover required and claims experience etc., The rating will be
determined by the Branch/ DO/ RO/HO depending on the underwriting limits. The
profitability of the portfolio of the client also plays a vital role in determining the rates.
COVER FOR EXPORT/IMPORT :
Cover for exports/imports is subject to a set of Internationally used clauses known as
Institute Cargo Clauses (ICC) Cover under ICC (A) is wider whereas cover under ICC
(B) and (C) are restricted.
(a) Institute Cargo Clauses (C)
Risk covered : Loss or damage to the subject matter by fire, explosion, sinking,
stranding, or grounding of the vessel, overturning or derailment of the land,
26

conveyance, collision of the craft or conveyance. Loss due to discharge of cargo


at a port of distress. Loss by jettisons, general average loss.
(b) Institute Cargo Clauses (B)
Risk covered : As in the case of C above with the addition of loss by earthquake,
volcanic eruption or lightening, loss of the cargo washed overboard water
damage either by entry of sea water, lake water or river water. Total loss of any
package, lost overboard the vessel or dropped during loading or unloading
operations.
(c) Institute Cargo Clauses (A)
This is the widest format of cover. This clause cover the risk in the case of B
above with rainwater damage, piracy, deliberated damage or destruction by
wrongful act of any person, theft, pilferage, non-delivery, contact with mud oils
and acids, damage by other cargo, other extraneous perils all involving a fortuity.
OPEN POLICY
If the insured is having frequent large number of dispatches and/or incoming materials
Dispatches, it becomes inconvenient to go for individual policies for every dispatch. For
such cases Marine Open Policy is very convenient document.
COVERAGE :
Covers for insurance of goods dispatched within the country by Rail/Road/Air Freight
Registered Post or for import or export by air / sea / Regd. Post.
PERIOD :
ONE YEAR
SUM INSURED :
Full premium on the sum insured will be paid in advance and the same will be
determined based upon the estimated dispatches for 12 months. Before the sum
insured is exhausted, same can be enhanced by paying additional premium.
BASIS OF VALUATION :
Invoice cost of goods, freight & Insurance Premium plus generally 10% incidental
charges or CIF + 10%.
At the end of the policy period, premium for unutilized balance of the sum insured
already paid by the insured will be refunded subject to the rules framed by the company.
OPEN COVER :
Open Cover is issued for imports or exports whereby the insurer agrees to issue
individual certificates for individual dispatches/receipts as per predetermined rates
terms and conditions. The Open Cover is not an enforceable document but only an
agreement to insure as distinct from an open policy, which is an enforceable document.
The APD A/c is to be maintained.
ANNUAL TURNOVER POLICY :
By express agreement Covers imports exports domestic transits in a single policy. The
sum insures represent the insureds annual sales turnover and the same is required to
be exhausted by paying appropriate additional premium before getting exhausted by
the declaration based on the sales turnover which should be made every quarter.

CONTRACTORS ALL RISK (CAR)


(1) Introduction :
The basic concept of contractors all risk insurance is to offer comprehensive and
adequate protection against loss or damage in respect of the contract works,
construction plant and equipment and construction machinery, as well as for third
party claims in respect of property damage or bodily injury arising in connection
with the execution of a Civil Engg. Project.
Ordinarily a civil engineering contractor tenders for a job on the basis of design
specifications provided by the principal on the basis of soil conditions, weather
conditions etc. Contractor is required to construct the civil engineering structure
on the basis of drawings and specifications for materials prescribed by the architect
or structural engineers. His responsibility is restricted to construct as per the
specifications and designs of the architect and/or designer.
Any loss or damage to the contract works during the course of the construction
due to any cause will result in heavy financial loss to the contractor. Thus in the
event of a claim, contractor will not be in a position to find resources for reinstating
the damaged property at his cost.
The Insurance Policy can be taken by Principal or the contractor or sub contractor.
(2) Risks Covered (in Built) / Coverage :
Any sudden and unforeseen loss or damage occurring during the period of
insurance to the property insured on the building site will be indemnified. The most
important perils are
Fire, Riot & Strike & allied perils, Flood, Cyclone, etc. Theft, Burglary, Construction
Faults like defective material, workmanship, collapse, human errors/lack of skill or
negligence of workers sub. To exclusion.
(T.P. Liability Earthquake & Terrorism under extension cover only)
(3) Exclusions (Only important exclusion taken) :
z Loss or damage due to faulty design
z Cost of replacement of rectification of defective material and/or work-man ship,
but this exclusion shall not be deemed to exclude loss or damage resulting
from an accident due to such defective material and or workmanship.
z Mechanical and or electrical breakdown or derangement of constn, plant, equips.
And constn. Machinery.
(4) Jurisdiction :
This applies to all Risks located in India, for which the value of the Civil Works
involved is more than 50% of the total contract value.
61

(5) Sum Insured :


Basis of sum insured as under :
a) Machinery / Equipments Landed cost at site.
b) Cost of construction.
c) Permanent Civil Engineering Works.
d) Half the escalated value, if escalation is opted for.
(6) Sub-Contractor :
The policy can be taken by either principal / contractor / sub contractor.
As regards sub-contracts forming part of a project, it is claimed that irrespective of
whether the project value has been broken into various sections and orders/
contracts are placed with different suppliers/contractors/sub-contractors or the
insureds carry out the work themselves departmentally, the insurances for all such
sub-contractors are subject to these General Regulation.
(7) Computation of Premium :
Premium shall be computed for the total period commencing from 1)
Commencement of Work or 2) Date of arrival of the first consignment at the site of
erection whichever is earlier.
(8) Mid-term increase during policy period :
The premium should be collected on the additional sum insured at applicable CAR
rates, on short period basis from inception period.

Mediclaim 2012 and Family Mediclaim 2012


Revised FAQs as on 31st July 2013
1. Who can take the policy?
Any person between age of 18 years and 65 years can take the policy, subject to
terms and conditions mentioned in the policy. Children between the age of 3 months
and 25 years can be covered provided parents are covered simultaneously. In case
of mentally challenged child and unmarried dependent daughter there is no upper
age limit.
2. Can Mediclaim 2012 or Family Mediclaim 2012 policy be issued with parents
of age more than 65 years?
No. No member can be added after the age of 65 years. If a person is renewing the
policy continuously with NIA then parents can be covered after the age of 65 years.
3. Is fresh proposal required while a person is migrating from Mediclaim 2007
to Mediclaim 2012?
Yes. A fresh proposal is required, if the person is migrating from Mediclaim 2007
to Mediclaim 2012. There should be a declaration by the insured that he has read
the prospectus and has specifically chosen to opt for migration into the Mediclaim
2012 policy.
4. Is fresh proposal required for continuing the renewal in Mediclaim 2007
policy?
Yes. A fresh proposal is also required when the person continues to renew in
Mediclaim 2007, along with a declaration of having made the choice.
5. How long can a person renew his policy?
There is no cover ceasing age. A person can renew his policy beyond age of 65
years, provided the policy is with us without any break.
6. Can I cover my family?
Yes, you can cover your family members in one policy, with separate Sum Insured
for each Insured Person and You will get a Family Discount of 10% on the total
premium payable. The members of the family who could be covered under the
Policy are:
z Proposer
z Proposers Spouse
z Proposers Children
z Proposers Parents
You may also cover the entire family as defined above, under a Single Sum Insured.
102

If You cover the other family members under a single Sum Insured, discounts at
the following rates are admissible :

Our existing Family Floater Mediclaim Policy is still available to the


customers as a fresh and renewal with revised rates of Mediclaim 2012.
The rating pattern continues to be 100% for the proposer, 50% for spouse
and 25% for each of the children on the eldest members premium.

7. How will we calculate Premium under Floater Mediclaim 2012?


The Premium of each member for selected Sum Insured will be added and then
the discount as per above table will be applied on the total premium payable.
For example, If a person is 47 years old, his spouse is 42 years old and his child is
15 years old then, zone I premium for Sum Insured of Rs. 4 lakhs will be calculated
as below :
Premium for Proposer

Rs. 12,200

Premium for Spouse

Rs. 7,700

Premium for Child

Rs. 4,900

Total Premium

Rs. 24,800

As per the above given table, the discount for the family of 3 members and Sum
Insured above Rs. 3 lakhs is 15%.
This discount will be given in the total Premium.
So Premium payable will be Rs. 21,080/8. If the person migrates from Mediclaim 2007 to Mediclaim 2012, what will
happen to his Cumulative Bonus?
His earned Cumulative Bonus will be carried forward as Cumulative Bonus Buffer
in Mediclaim 2012. This Buffer will be carried forward until the Buffer is completely
used.
E.g. 1: SI = Rs. 2,00,000 and CB Buffer = Rs. 60,000,
If a claim arises of Rs. 2,00,000, then during renewal the CB Buffer will be Rs.
60,000.
E.g. 2: SI = Rs. 2,00,000 and CB Buffer = Rs. 60,000,
If claim arises of Rs. 2,20,000 then during renewal the CB Buffer will be Rs. 40,000.
The CB Buffer will never become zero until it is completely used.
103

9. If a person has Cumulative Bonus in Mediclaim 2007 and while migrating


he opts for a higher Sum Insured, then how Cumulative Bonus Buffer will be
calculated?
His Cumulative Bonus will be converted to monetary limit using the earlier Sum
Insured and that monetary amount will be taken for Cumulative Bonus Buffer. For
example, if a person has 20% CB in his current policy of Rs. 5 lakhs and he opts
for Rs. 8 lakhs SI at migration, then he will be given 5% additional CB as per terms
& conditions of Mediclaim 2007. At the time of migration this 25% CB will be
converted to Cumulative Bonus Buffer. So his Buffer will be 25% of Rs. 5 lakh, i.e.
Rs. 1,25,000/-.
10. If there is a claim in the previous policy (Mediclaim 2007 where CB should
become zero), and the person is renewing in Mediclaim 2012 policy, what will
be the CB?
If the person is has a claim and then migrating to Mediclaim 2012, then his CB
becomes zero and nothing will be carried forward to Cumulative Buffer. But after
migrating to the Mediclaim 2012 if there is a claim then it will reduce as example
given in point 7.
11. Will the Cumulative Bonus Buffer be used for sub-limits under the policy?
No, Cumulative Bonus Buffer will not be used for any sub-limits.
Only exception for this will be sub-limit for cataract, which will be not more than 20%
of the aggregate of Sum Insured and Cumulative Bonus Buffer for each eye, subject
to maximum of Rs. 24,000/-.
E.g. 1: A person with Rs. 1,00,000 Sum Insured and Rs. 30,000 Cumulative Buffer
is hospitalized for cataract. Then his eligible room rent will be 1% of Sum Insured
i.e. Rs. 1,000 and Total reimbursement limit for Cataract will be 20% of [Sum Insured
+ Cumulative Buffer], i.e. 26,000; But the upper cap for cataract is Rs. 24,000, so
the person will be reimbursed Rs. 24,000 only.
12. What is Hospital cash and how it will be calculated?
Hospital cash is a benefit given to the customer irrespective of his expenses. This
benefit will be over and above his/her hospital bill reimbursement, subject to terms
and conditions mentioned in the Policy.
In any case the total claim amount will not be more than Sum Insured of the Insured.
Thus, Hospital cash will reduce the Sum Insured.
In case of cashless claims, the TPA needs to pay a separate claim to the customers
towards hospital cash directly.
If Deductible is applicable on the policy, it will not be applicable on Hospital cash.
Hospital cash will be applicable only if the Sum Insured is Rs. 3 lakhs or above.
In case of enhancement, Sum Insured must be Rs. 3 lakhs or above. If claim arises
due to pre existing illness, where enhanced Sum Insured is not be reckoned for
claim, the Hospital cash will be paid over and above the Eligible Reimbursement
and will be a part of total Sum Insured.
104

This will be 0.1% of Sum Insured per day maximum for 10 days in any one illness.
The total amount will not exceed 1% of Sum Insured.
E.g. 1 : A person is having a Sum Insured of 4 lakhs.
Total admissible claim is 2,80,000, and admitted for 8 days.
Hospital cash = 0.1%*4 lakhs (SI)*8(no of days admitted, max for 10 days) = 3200
Total payment= 280000+3200 = 2,83,200
E.g. 2 : A person having a Sum Insured of 4 lakhs.
Total admissible claim is 3,98,000 and admitted for 12 days.
Hospital cash = 0.1% * 4lakhs (SI) * 10 (no of days admitted max of 10 days) = 4000
Total payment= 398000+4000 = 4,02,000
But this amount is exceeding the SI which is not permissible.
Thus total payment = 4,00,000
E.g. 3 : A person having a Sum Insured of 1 lakh enhanced it to 3 lakhs and claims
for a heart disease which was admissible for 1 lakh only due to pre-existing
condition.
Total Claim amount is 2,30,000
Total Admissible claim is 1,00,000 and admitted for 8 days.
Hospital cash = 0.1% * 3,00,000 (SI) * 8 = 2400
Total payment= 100000 + 2400 = 1,02,400
Though the admissible claim is for Rs. 1,00,000 as per the pre-existing condition,
Hospital cash is calculated on the existing available Sum Insured on the date of
Hospitalization, which is Rs. 3,00,000. There by 2400 is payable in the above
example.
13. Does this policy allow an Insured to change the TPA?
This policy gives the insured an option to service the policy through TPA or by the
Company. The proposer does not have option to choose his own TPA, but to adhere
to the empanelled TPA allocated to the respective office.

underwriting office will select any other TPA from the enlisted panel of the TPAs, if
requested.
14. Can this policy be directly serviced by Underwriting Office?

customers cashless facility will not be available, claims will be settled in
reimbursement basis by Claims Hub. No discount will be available for opting for
direct service.

11. PROCEDURE FOR CLAIM SETTLEMENT
(a) Admissibility of the Claim
Excess clause : Claim under the policy would be admissible only if the
142

mortality due to insured peril in the flock exceeds beyond the excess limit
given below :
Mortality
Broilers1 day old to 8 weeks (6 weeks)

5% of population in each batch

Layers1 day old to 8 weeks

5% of population in each batch at


the inception of the policy.

9th week to 20th week

3% of total population at the


beginning of 9th week

21st week to 72 weeks

1% of total population at the


beginning of 21st week and
then every month.

(Excess is not to be applied on cumulative basis).


N.B. Application of excess clauses for Broilers is illustrated below
If the farmer has got 100 birds per batch and following is a week wise mortality
chart the excess will be applied as under :

Rs. 23.595 birds

Hence the excess of Rs 23.59 x 5 = 117.95 will be deducted from total


amount payable. Thus the excess of 5% will be deducted on average valuation
arrived on the basis of mortality chart presented rather than on the basis of
first 5% birds week-wise.
Compensation towards loss of birds will be made only for death of birds
exceeding the mortality percentage given above.
143

(b) Liability of the Company : The Insured will be indemnified for 80% of the value of
the birds at the time of death as per valuation table or actual value as decided by
the Veterinary Surgeon before admissibility of claim whichever is less. 20%
additional excess for Gumboro disease.

company in order to avert or minimise the loss. In case the insured realises the value
less than the valuation table agreed upon for the corresponding week then the
difference will be paid to the insured in addition to the cost of dead birds as per terms
