United India No Claim Bonus

No Claim Bonus (NCB) is a reward in terms of discount offered by United India General Insurance to its policyholders on their own-damage premium for not raising any claim during the policy period. This benefit can be earned for every consecutive claim-free year starting from 20% which can go upto a maximum of 50% over a span of 5 years. It is considered the best and simplest way to lessen the premium cost of the car insurance plan for the next policy year at the time of renewal, which means it needs consistent and timely renewal of policy, otherwise, you may lose the benefit.

No Claim Bonus is a token of appreciation that you receive for carefully maintaining and driving your car. Since it is given for making no claim which could be possible only with responsible and safe drive, this benefit belongs to the policyholder and not the insured vehicle. Therefore, in case you are planning to change your car or insurance company, then you can transfer the benefit of the NCB to your new car or policy by complying to some terms and conditions. It means, if you decide to trade your old car for a new one, still you can hold the NCB with you which could even help you cut down the premium of your new car as well.
