Royal Sundaram No Claim Bonus

To secure a car with an insurance policy is good but paying a premium every year for it could become tedious for some. In such a situation, a No Claim Bonus (NCB) can help a lot of policyholders of car insurance. The NCB is a reward given to policyholders by insurance companies for not filing any claim in a policy year. The benefit is offered in terms of a discount which is applied to reduce the standalone own-damage car insurance premium or own-damage component of a comprehensive car insurance for the next year. The NCB begins at 20% and can go up to a maximum of 50% with consecutive claim-free years.

The benefit of NCB belongs to the policyholder and not the insured car, hence, policyholders can transfer the NCB while changing their cars or switching to another car insurance company. However, it is recommended to avoid raising any claim in a policy year or to bear minor damage expenses to secure the NCB benefit, but it is not always possible for everyone. However, in order to save your accumulated NCB despite making a claim, you can opt for a NCB protector add-on cover, which helps you save your bonus even if you make a car insurance claim.
