Now Bharti Axa General Insurance Company asked me to take Rs. 4,25,000/-. I am insisting that I should get IDV. As this is the value (accepted by Insurance company), by which it been insured for one year. Is my demand is wrong? Please advice.
The insurance company has taken the depreciation into account. And second the amount payable at the time of total loss is negotiable between insurer and policyholder/insured.
