• Sum insured/riders me badlav karna ho to medical declaration/underwriting ho sakta hai
• Past claims info (continuity ke liye)

Renewal channels: Quick renewal vs Login vs Offline

1. Quick Renewal – Fastest. Policy number + OTP se direct renew.
   Pros: Jaldi ho jata hai; account banane ki zaroorat nahi.
   Cons: Profile/edit options limited; complex changes ke liye login better.
2. Customer Portal Login – Account create/login → My Policies → Renew.
   Pros: Multiple policies manage, details review, downloads.
   Cons: First-time setup me thoda time lag sakta hai.
3. Offline (Branch/Agent) – Break‑in inspection, complex endorsements me helpful.
   Pros: Special cases me guided help.
   Cons: Time-consuming; normal renewals online karna easiest.

Motor (Car/Bike) renewal – step by step

A) Standard renewal (no break, same insurer)

1. Official portal par Motor → Renew/Quick Renewal choose karein.
2. Policy number ya vehicle registration enter karein → OTP verify.
3. Summary verify:
   • Owner & vehicle details, RTO, fuel type, cubic capacity
   • IDV range (Insured Declared Value) – beech ka median sensible rehta hai
   • NCB% prefill check — last year claim liya ho to NCB zero
   • Hypothecation (loan) details sahi?
4. Coverage choose: Comprehensive (OD + TP) ya sirf TP; add‑ons (Zero Dep, RSA, Engine Protect) agar available.
5. Declarations: NCB self‑declaration, valid PUC confirmation.
6. Payment: UPI/card/netbanking — payment success screen aayegi.
7. E‑policy & receipt: Turant email/SMS + portal download option.

Real-world tip: Sunday evening ko traffic zyada hota hai; payment retry avoid karne ke liye ek baar “Transaction Status” check kar lo. Doubt ho to 24–48 hours settlement wait karo — double charge ka risk kam hota hai.

B) Renewal after expiry (break‑in case)

Expiry ke baad gap aate hi coverage band ho jata hai. “Grace” marketing term lag sakta hai, par legally active cover nahi hota jab tak nayi policy issue na ho.

1. Quick renewal try karein. Agar portal inspection required bole, to slot book karein (photo/video/physical as per insurer).
2. Inspection approve hote hi IDV/coverage finalize karein, NCB 90‑day rule yaad rakhein.
3. Payment → policy issue post inspection.

Note: TP-only renewal me inspection usually nahi; comprehensive OD cover me common hai.

C) Special motor situations

• Mobile/email change: OTP old number pe aa raha? Profile update/branch support ki madad lein.
• RC transfer (second owner): Renewal se pehle owner name update karna best; warna endorsement karani padegi.
• Loan closed? RC se hypothecation hatakar policy endorsement bhi karwa lein.
• Add‑ons: Zero Dep older vehicles me available na ho; insurer matrix depend.

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Premium kam dikhane ke liye IDV bahut low rakh dena → total loss payout kam hoga.
• NCB false declaration (last year claim liya aur NCB tick kar diya) → claim time pe problem.
• PUC expired rakha → compliance/claim issue.

Health/Mediclaim renewal – step by step

A) Standard renewal (no break)

1. Official portal → Health/Mediclaim section → Renew/Quick Pay.
2. Policy number/registered details enter → OTP verify.
3. Members & coverage verify: Sum insured, plan type (individual/floater), riders; nominee details check.
4. Changes? Sum insured increase ya new family member add karne par underwriting/medical tests ho sakte hain.
5. Payment → e‑policy + receipt download.

B) Renewal with delay/break

• Grace period (health): Typically up to 30 days from due date (coverage grace me active nahi rehta). Is window me premium pay karke continuity benefits save ho sakte hain.
• Break beyond grace: Policy lapse ho sakti hai; waiting periods/cumulative bonus/PED coverage continuity risk me aa jati hai. Fresh underwriting lag sakti hai.

If you plan to port: IRDAI rules ke mutabik renewal due date se 45–60 din pehle porting initiate karo. Last moment pe usually possible nahi hota.

Grace period, NCB & break‑in cases (simple language)

Motor (Car/Bike)

• Policy expire hote hi cover band. Jab tak nayi policy issue nahi hoti, no coverage.
• NCB continuity: Expiry ke 90 din ke andar renewal → NCB retain. 90 din ke baad NCB lapse.
• Inspection: Break‑in OD cover me common; TP only me generally nahi.

Health

• Grace: Usually up to 30 days (policy wording check). Is period me claim cover active nahi hota.
• Continuity: Grace ke andar pay karne se waiting periods & bonuses save rehte hain; break ke baad risk.

Troubleshooting: OTP, payment, policy number etc.

OTP not received?

• Network toggle/airplane mode; 2–3 min wait; “Resend OTP” try.
• Registered number old hai? Profile update/branch support.

Payment failed but amount debited?

• Bank gateway settlement mein 24–48 hours lag sakte hain; “Transaction Status/Track” check karein.
• Duplicate charge doubt? Bank + insurer support ko reference share karein.

Policy number ya details mismatch?

• Last policy PDF/email se exact number copy-paste karein.
• Naam/DOB/address galat? Renewal ke baad endorsement request raise karein (KYC attach).

Portal error ya page freeze?

• Incognito window; alternate browser; cache clear; desktop try.
• Peak time avoid; stable internet/UPI app ready rakhein.

Policy download/receipt after renewal

• E‑policy PDF & receipt usually email/SMS se aate hain; portal pe bhi “Download” option hota hai.
• Verify: Name, address, dates, vehicle/member details, sum insured, NCB/add‑ons.
• Backups: Google Drive/iCloud me store; glovebox ke liye print optional.

Special cases: Loan, address change, add‑ons

Loan/Hypothecation

• Policy me financier ka naam sahi hai? Theft/total loss payout pe impact padta hai.
• Loan close kar diya? RC se hypothecation removal + policy endorsement kara lo.

Address/Mobile change

• Renewal flow me edit option mile to update karo; warna endorsement/service request.
• Email correct rakho — policy/receipt wahi aayegi.

Add‑ons (Motor) – kab lena sahi?

• Zero Dep: Naye vehicles me faydemand; purane me limited availability.
• Engine Protect: Flood-prone areas me useful.
• Roadside Assistance: Long drives ya aged vehicles ke liye.
• Return to Invoice: Brand new vehicles ke first 2–3 saal me relevant.

Safety & compliance tips

• Hamesha official NIC domain par hi payment karein (https + correct domain check).
• Public Wi‑Fi par transactions avoid; OTP kisi ke saath share na karein.
• Motor claims ke liye PUC valid rakhein; health me e‑card handy rakho.
