Bharat Griha Raksha policy provides coverage for home building and its content at an affordable premium. This policy has been made mandatory by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) for every insurer to offer with effect from April 1, 2021. This policy covers your building and its contents against loss, damage and destruction caused due to theft, riot, strike, malicious damage, nature’s fury in the form of storm, flood, earthquake, etc.
For any property owner, a natural disaster that destroys the house is the biggest nightmare. Natural calamities such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, typhoons etc., can take cost of repairing the damaged property through the roof. It also puts a massive financial and emotional burden on the property owner. Bharat Griha Raksha policy protects you against the losses and damages caused by the natural calamity and helps you rebuild your house without having to dig into your savings.
Apart from protecting you against natural calamities, this policy also covers you against any costs resulting from man-made disasters. It protects you against human catastrophes ranging from thefts and burglaries, to terrorist attacks, riots and strikes resulting in damage or destruction of property, among other things.
This policy not only protects your house from physical damage, it also provides coverage for items inside the house. It also provides coverage against loss due to theft and burglary. Given that each Indian household tends to keep a number of valuables on hand, it makes practical sense to invest in a policy that will cover these items.
This policy protects the building structure of your home against listed perils such as fire, natural calamities (earthquake, flood, storm, cyclone etc.), riot, strike, malicious damage, acts of terrorism, explosion, impact damage etc.
This policy also covers the contents in your home. Where building structure is also covered, general contents are automatically covered for 20% of the Sum Insured of the Home Building subject to a maximum of ₹ 10 Lakh (Rupees Ten Lakh) unless you opt for a higher Sum Insured for Home Contents and declare the details.
Valuable contents of your home such as jewellery, silverware, paintings, works of art etc. can be covered under this optional cover.
