Excess amount (or claim charges) are deducted from the amount of insurance settled/payable.  The same, as I understand, is Rs.500 for cars up to 1500 CC & Rs.1000 for cars above 1500 CC.

It has been rightly mentioned by Pankaj about excess.

Its not fixed , it has to be negotiated before agreeing for the premium.  It can go upto any amount.

So one has to be carefull about this.

I think this excess/claim charges are fixed.  I don't know if they can be reduced but cannot be increased.  The variation is on account of salvage charges in % terms - generally 5% - and is not negotiable, I suppose.

hi all,

I called my insurance provider and asked about the excess amt (to clear my query/confusion about it), they say its a fixed amt Rs.500/- that they deduct from the total claim amt on account of surveyor charges.

hi..

Thanks for your posting..

Can you explain it briefly..

You can be fined for this and its risky in case your car is involved in accident. You will not get any claim and in case any third party is involved in accident then all the claims you will have to settle. 

Always advisable to have a valid insurance cover and that too comprehensive
