Godown flooded — stock damaged but declaration was outdated
The situation
A warehouse near Manali had flooding during heavy rains. Stock worth ₹35 lakh was damaged but the policy had stock declared at ₹15 lakh (from the last renewal). The insurer applied the average clause and offered to pay only proportional to declared value.
How we helped
We explained the average clause impact, helped with whatever proof was available for the actual stock, and negotiated the best possible outcome. For renewal, we set up quarterly stock declarations and correct sum insured to prevent this from happening again.
