• Condition for claim
  You can file this claim if your baggage is delayed by a common carrier for more than the specified period of time as shown in the policy. The duration is counted from the time of your arrival at your destination.

• What are the limitations?
  There are times when you may file for Baggage Delay cover, but later on, you get to know that the baggage is actually lost. In such cases, from the amount claimed and paid to you under baggage delay plus any compensation made by the Airlines will be deducted.

What is Baggage Loss?

Under the Baggage Loss cover, you will be reimbursed for the permanent loss of an entire piece of checked-in baggage stored in the train or flight you are travelling by. For this, you will have to get all claims verified by the Railway or Airline Personnel.

• Condition for claim
  If you’re a ticketed passenger and your baggage has been stolen, misdirected by the flight it was supposed to come on, or due to non-delivery at the final destination, you can file a claim under this section. The benefit will only be payable in case your entire baggage is lost and not for the partial loss of items or damage to your luggage.

• What are the Limitations
  If the common carrier has paid you a particular amount, this cover will only pay the remaining amount to you. For instance, if the baggage lost values up to a total of ₹5000 and your airline or Railway authority pays ₹2000, the insurance will only pay the remaining amount of ₹ 3000 and not the whole value.
