Reinstatement Value (RIV) Policy: In this case, the RIV (Reinstatement Value) clause is appended to the Fire Policy. The insured also has the choice to insure the property (excluding stocks) on a "Reinstatement value basis," which refers to the cost of replacing or reinstating it at the same location or any other site with property of the same kind or type, but not superior to or more extensive than the insured property when new as of the date of the loss. In the event of a loss, the amount payable is the cost of reinstating the property with a new one of the same kind and type.
Market Value Policy: This insurance mandates that the insured must declare sums insured that are not lower than the "Market value" of the insured property, which is the value at which property of the same age and condition can be bought or sold. Stocks are exclusively insured under a Market value Policy. The basis of settlement is the actual cost of the property lost or damaged at the time of the loss, excluding any profit considerations, while taking into account wear and tear and depreciation due to usage.
Types of Policy To Cover Stocks : To address the regular fluctuations in stock declarations, policies are issued with a sum insured chosen by the insured. Monthly declarations, dependent on the average value at risk or the highest value on any day of the month, are required to be submitted by the insured each month.
Floater Policy : Suitable for stocks located at different places under a unified sum insured.
Declaration Policy : Addresses the regular changes in stock or stock values.
Floater Declaration Policy : Incorporates characteristics from both floater and declaration policies.
