Minimum Data Requirement

The premium rate for this clause of insurance is assessed by the Insurer only after a careful study of all circumstances appertaining to the transit, in accordance with the details furnished in the proposal form by the Insured and the past experience. The following factors are ordinarily taken into consideration for underwriting money-in-transit insurance proposals:

  1. The maximum amount carried in any single transit;
  2. The number of employees carrying money, the duration of their service with the insured and whether any of them was involved in any previous default;
  3. The mode of carriage of money i.e on foot, on bi-cycle, in rickshaw, in bus, in taxi or in the insured’s own vehicle;
  4. The manner in which it is carried i.e on the body of the employee, in a closed and locked bag, and whether the bag is attached to the body of the messengers, or in a box securely locked;
  5. Whether armed guards accompany the party carrying the money;
  6. The places between which the money is carried and their location in relation to the neighbor-hood;
  7. The route through which the money is carried, whether it is thoroughfare or traverses through any sparsely or lonely area and whether the route would be varied so as to prevent an ambush;
  8. The time of the delay when the money is carried (this should normally be between 9 am and 5 pm);
  9. The general condition of law and order in the area through which the money is carried.

Claim Procedures

  1. Notify the Police immediately
  2. Prepare notice in writing to us stating the circumstances of the loss
  3. Take immediate steps to ascertain the full extent of claims and obtain all particulars and documents of evidence to substantiate your claim to insurers
  4. Staggering timings and dates of bank visits so that they are unpredictable to the observer.
  5. Try as much as possible to reduce the amount of cash carried by an unprotected person – if large quantities of cash must be moved, consider having an armored guard service instead of an employee.
  6. Small, regular deposits are preferable to large weekly ones.
  7. Having a system whereby cash is put in a locked safe (with a deposit slot) at specified intervals would reduce the amounts lost in a hold-up or burglary, provided that the key to the safe was kept off-site, of course.

The Insurer may appoint a surveyor/loss adjuster to inspect and verify the loss.
