1

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.

Documents you'll need

  • Stock invoices/register + periodic proof trail
  • Premises photos + safety setup proof (as applicable)
  • Policy copy + endorsements + declarations (if any)
  • Incident timeline + reports (as applicable)

What affects premium and acceptance

  • Stock type, fire load, and sum insured/valuation basis
  • Location risk indicators (warehouse density, electrical load, public access)
  • Security and safety measures (as applicable)
  • Claim history and documentation readiness

Mistakes that delay or reduce claims

  • No consistent proof of stock value
  • Wrong sum insured / undervaluation
  • Layout/stock type changed but not updated
  • Stock proof mismatch during claim
  • Undervaluation reduces settlement
  • Safety/security conditions not met (as applicable)

Before you buy or renew

  • Prepare a simple stock/assets list + valuation basis (invoice/valuation logic)
  • Keep 3–6 invoice samples and register proof ready (as applicable)
  • Take premises photos: storage layout + safety setup (as applicable)
  • Confirm stored goods type and update changes (avoid mismatch disputes)

Which of these is you?

Fixed stock, stable value

Your warehouse holds roughly the same stock value year-round.

  • A straightforward fire + burglary policy sized to your current stock and building value.
  • We check the sum insured is realistic against replacement cost, not a rounded guess carried forward each year.
  • Simple proof-folder habit — invoices and photos kept on file so a claim isn't a scramble.
WhatsApp — warehouse policy check

Fluctuating stock through the year

Stock value swings significantly by season — peak season holds far more than off-season.

  • A stock declaration policy structure so your cover matches actual stock levels, not a flat year-round figure.
  • We size the sum insured to your peak, not your average, since the average clause punishes underinsurance at exactly the wrong moment.
  • Guidance on the declaration rhythm — how often you should update the insurer on current stock value.

After a fire or theft — filing a claim

Something's already happened and you need to move correctly.

  • We check what proof you already have (invoices, photos, registers) and what's still missing before the surveyor visits.
  • Guidance on the average clause — if you're underinsured, we explain exactly how that affects your payout, honestly.
  • Support through the surveyor process and documentation submission.

Undervalued sum insured vs. a realistic one

The average clause is the single biggest reason warehouse claims settle for less than expected.

Premium todayLowerReflects actual risk
Partial loss payoutReduced proportionately under the average clausePaid in full up to the covered amount
Peak-season stockOften uncovered if declared at off-season levelsCovered if declared at peak value

Still wondering?

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

?My godown stores different types of goods at different times — how do I insure that?

Stock declaration should reflect the maximum value typically stored, not just what's there today. We help you set the right sum insured and show you how to maintain declaration discipline that holds up during claims.

?Do I need separate fire insurance and burglary insurance?

Some policies bundle both (Standard Fire & Special Perils + Burglary). We check what risks your specific location and stock type actually face and recommend accordingly — no unnecessary add-ons, no dangerous gaps.

Frequently asked questions

Questions people ask
How is sum insured calculated for a warehouse? Sum insured covers building value (replacement cost) plus stock value (maximum at any point in the year). Underinsuring triggers the average clause — even partial loss settlements get proportionately reduced. We help calculate realistic figures.
Does warehouse insurance cover theft? Standard fire policy does not cover theft. You need a separate burglary add-on or combined fire + burglary policy. Burglary cover requires specific security conditions (locks, grills, watchman) to be maintained. We check your setup against policy requirements.
What proof do I need for a warehouse fire claim? Stock register, purchase invoices, premises photos (pre-loss), fire brigade report, and an incident timeline. Missing any of these delays settlement by weeks. We help you set up a proof system before a loss occurs.
