Importing a crane — needed CPM + transit insurance before unloading

The situation

A contractor importing a crane from another state needed Contractors Plant & Machinery (CPM) insurance plus transit coverage. The crane was arriving by trailer and he needed proof of insurance before the transport company would release it.

How we helped

We arranged CPM insurance with the correct sum insured based on invoice value, added transit cover for the movement, and got the certificate issued before the delivery date. Documents were shared on WhatsApp for quick verification at the unloading point.

Fleet of 12 lorries — one had an accident on NH, needed claim filed fast

The situation

A fleet owner with 12 lorries had one vehicle involved in a road accident on the NH belt near Red Hills. The driver was injured, third-party damage was significant, and the police complaint had to be registered. He didn't know what to do first.

How we helped

We guided the immediate steps: FIR copy, hospital records, spot photos, and insurer intimation within 24 hours. We prepared the claim documents in the right order so the surveyor could process without back-and-forth. The claim was settled without unnecessary delays.

Which of these is you?

First WC policy for your site

You've started employing workers with site/physical risk and haven't set up WC cover yet.

  • We verify worker classification and wage basis before the policy is issued — this is where most future disputes start.
  • Contract workers included and correctly declared if they're engaged through you as principal employer.
  • Straightforward setup, no unnecessary add-ons for a straightforward workforce.
WhatsApp — first WC policy

Renewing with a changed workforce

Your worker count, wage bill, or contractor mix has changed since the last policy was issued.

  • We update classification and payroll basis to match your current workforce, not the numbers from last year.
  • If you've added contract workers through subcontractors, we check they're properly declared.
  • Premium recalculated fairly against your actual current risk, not carried forward blindly.

A worker was injured — filing a claim

An incident has already happened and you need to move correctly and quickly.

  • Report immediately — timing affects how smoothly the claim proceeds.
  • We check your worker classification and payroll record are consistent and ready before the insurer asks.
  • Guidance through medical, disability, or death benefit claims as applicable, so the family or worker isn't left waiting.

Misclassified workers vs. correctly declared

This is the single biggest cause of WC claim disputes — and it's entirely preventable at the policy stage.

Contract workersOften undeclared, creating coverage gapsIncluded and verified through principal employer
Premium accuracyMay be under- or over-priced for actual riskReflects real wage bill and risk category

Still wondering?

Common questions people have before reaching out about this type of insurance.

?The project owner is asking for insurance certificates — what exactly do they want?

Usually they need: CAR (Contractors All Risk) certificate showing project value and period, and WC (Workmen Compensation) certificate showing worker count and coverage. We help generate these in the format project owners typically accept.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask
Is Workmen Compensation (WC) insurance mandatory? Yes, under the Workmen's Compensation Act 1923 (now Employee's Compensation Act), employers are liable for compensation if a worker is injured or dies during employment. WC insurance transfers this liability to the insurer.
How is the WC insurance premium calculated? Premium is based on total wage bill, occupation classification (risk category), and number of workers. High-risk occupations (construction, mining) have higher rates. Accurate payroll and classification disclosure prevents claim disputes later.
Does WC insurance cover contract workers? Yes, if they are engaged through the principal employer. The policy must correctly classify and include contract workers. Many claim disputes arise because contract workers were not properly declared — we help verify classification before policy issuance.
A worker was injured on site — who pays the compensation? The employer is legally liable for compensation under the Employee's Compensation Act, regardless of fault. If you hold a WC policy, the insurer pays this liability on your behalf — medical costs, disability compensation, or death benefit as applicable. Report the incident immediately and keep the worker's classification and payroll record ready; that's what determines how fast the claim settles.
