What it covers क्या कवर होता है

The accumulation of NCB (20% - 25% - 35% - 45% - 50% over 5 consecutive claim-free years), the loss of NCB on claim (reverts to 0% unless NCB Protection add-on is in force), and the renewal grace period for carrying forward NCB.

NCB का जमाव (लगातार 5 claim-free वर्षों में 20% - 25% - 35% - 45% - 50%), क्लेम लेने पर NCB का नुकसान (NCB Protection add-on न हो तो 0% पर वापस), और NCB continuity के लिए renewal grace period।

Policy wording sample"No Claim Bonus shall be allowed in accordance with the IRDAI schedule, provided the policy has been renewed within 90 days of its expiry without any claim having been preferred or paid under the preceding policy. In the event of a claim, the entire accumulated NCB shall stand forfeited unless an NCB Protection endorsement is in force on the policy."

Verdict

Standard slabs — year 1: 20%; year 2: 25%; year 3: 35%; year 4: 45%; year 5 onwards: 50%. On ANY claim (even small) NCB resets to 0% unless NCB Protection is in force. Grace period for renewal with NCB continuity is typically 90 days from policy expiry — if renewal is beyond that gap, NCB is forfeited and starts from 0%. On a change of vehicle, NCB is retained if the previous NCB certificate is produced within the grace window. Verify from the renewal / NCB-reserving letter and the previous insurer's system. On TL settlement, 2 years' NCB is counted lost (not just the current year).

मानक slabs — वर्ष 1: 20%; 2: 25%; 3: 35%; 4: 45%; 5 और बाद: 50%। किसी भी claim पर (छोटे पर भी) NCB शून्य, जब तक NCB Protection न हो। NCB continuity के साथ renewal grace आमतौर पर policy expiry से 90 दिन — उससे अधिक gap पर NCB forfeited, 0% से शुरू। गाड़ी बदलने पर पिछला NCB certificate grace window में पेश करने पर NCB retained। renewal / NCB-reserving letter और पिछली बीमा कंपनी के system से verify करें। TL settlement पर 2 साल का NCB loss (सिर्फ़ चालू वर्ष नहीं)।
