Do you have any idea about settlement time period & whether they provide cashless settlement or not? I had opted for Bajaj Alliance insurance; on website, it was mentioned cashless settlement and again, Tata Service center in my city was listed for cashless settlement but service center was denying the same. I faced a lot of hassle in order to get cashless settlement. They told me that cashless settlement is meant for those who had taken insurance from our showroom only.
Again, what is the validity of zero depreciation charges; means is it for 1st & 2nd year only.
Mohit, they offer cashless facility. The features indicated are not just for 1 or 2 years, but they are continued. Have you faced any issue in such zero depreciation charges ?
As far as I know, Zero depreciation facility is available only for starting 1-2 years as these insurance companies know that people rarely claim insurance during initial period. Another point, this point is hidden under terms & conditions & after 3 years, coverage is not truely 100%. I recommend you to go thru its terms & conditions properly.
Dear suresh, this article is really helpful.wish you a speedy recovery.

bharti axa surveyors are extremely rude. they are looking for reasons to not settle the claim and trying to identify reasons where the claim should not be covered. when paying for premium everything is covered and then things like wear and tear and mechanical breakdown come into the picture. seems everyone is driving an agenda to meet targets of not settling claims. utterly disgusting experience
