Understanding Home Insurance in India

Home insurance protects the structure of your home and the belongings inside it against risks such as fire, burglary and natural disasters like floods and earthquakes. It is inexpensive relative to the value it protects, yet widely under-bought in India.

Decide whether you need structure cover, contents cover or both. Insure the structure for its reconstruction cost rather than its market or land value, and insure contents for their replacement value. Check the perils covered, the exclusions, and whether high-value items must be listed separately. Tenants can insure just their contents. Reading the policy wording for what is and is not covered is the single most useful step before buying.
