Surveyor's verdict / key conditions सर्वेयर की जाँच

Verdict

Covered under standard OD as damage by external means / wild animal attack, so long as it is a sudden, external, visible event. Panchayat letter / local police report / dhaba statement / dashcam clip helps. Not covered if the vehicle was knowingly parked unattended inside a known monkey-prone zone without the mirrors folded / wipers lifted — insurer may apply contributory negligence. Depreciation on plastic / rubber at 50% unless Nil-Dep is opted.

standard OD में wild animal / बाहरी कारण से हुआ नुकसान मानकर देय — अचानक, बाहरी, दृश्यमान घटना होनी चाहिए। panchayat पत्र, स्थानीय पुलिस की note, ढाबा वाले का बयान या dashcam clip मदद करेगा। अगर insured जानबूझकर मशहूर बंदर-ज़ोन में mirror फोल्ड किए बिना / wiper उठाए बिना गाड़ी छोड़ गया — बीमा कंपनी contributory negligence लगा सकती है। plastic/rubber पर 50% depreciation, जब तक Nil-Dep न लिया हो।

Reference material — verify figures against the current IRDAI master circular and quote the actual policy wording in the report.
