The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India recently introduced New Fire Insurance Guidelines for Dwellings and Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises whose Property Value at a single location comes under 50 crore. As per the new guideline 3 new products are introduced i.e. Bharat Griha Suraksha Policy (India House (Dwellings) Protection Policy), Bharat Sookshma Udyam Suraksha Policy (India Micro Enterprise Protection Policy) and Bharat Laghu Udyam Suraksha Policy (India Small Enterprise Protection Policy). These policies will come in effect from 1st April, 2021 onwards and will replace the existing Fire and Special Perils Policy. Every insurer have been authorized to fix their terms, rates and add on coverage as per their convenient but before this they will have to file product to IRDAI for final approval.

Now, we are describing brief coverage details under these 3 policies.
