Plan with precision

Know your numbers before you buy.

Seven calculations our advisors run every day, and a reminder service that does the remembering for you. They update as you type. Indicative, not a quotation: a formal recommendation follows underwriting, but these put you in the right ballpark in seconds.

Enter today's replacement values — not book values — to see the sum insured a fire policy should carry, and what under-insurance would do to a claim under the average clause.

These are indicative estimates from standard advisory formulas, not a quotation or a guarantee of insurability. Your actual cover depends on underwriting, health, occupation and the policy wording. An advisor will refine them with you.

Plain-language answers

Questions you might be
asking before you call us.

What makes RFS different?

Many providers simply sell policies. We assess your risk first and arrange cover second. That shows up in three concrete ways: a recommendation matched to your actual exposure, sector-specific policy wording for industries like mining, chemicals and hospitality, and active claims support that does not end once the policy is issued.

What is the difference between using an advisor and going direct?

Going direct to an insurer leaves you to interpret policy language and handle claims on your own. Working with an experienced advisor like RFS means cover matched to your actual risk, guidance across leading insurers' products, and someone who stays engaged through renewals and claims. That difference matters most when something goes wrong.

How does RFS get paid, and does it influence the advice?

Our recommendations are guided by your risk and your needs, not by sales targets. We are glad to walk you through the options we considered and why we recommended what we did, and where you ask us to, we will document that comparison in full.

What happens if I already have policies in place elsewhere?

We can review your existing programme without any obligation to move it. The output is a written report flagging coverage gaps, redundancies, sub-limit risks and renewal opportunities - the same document we would prepare for an internal audit. If the existing arrangement is sound, we will say so. Where it is not, you decide what to do with the information.

Advisory Approach

Why Marine Insurance Requires Specialist Handling

Marine cargo claims in India are complex, ICC clause interpretation, surveyor disputes, sub-standard insurer settlement ratios and inadequate sum insured are the most common causes of under-recovery. An experienced advisor protects you on all three fronts.

We benchmark your sum insured against current commodity values and freight costs, not last year's declaration.
We specify the right ICC clause, A, B or C, based on your cargo type, packaging and route, not the default the insurer prefers.
At the time of a claim, we co-ordinate the surveyor, manage documentation and challenge any settlement that falls short of the policy entitlement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about marine cargo insurance in India, answered plainly.

ICC-A is the broadest cover, it insures against all risks of physical loss or damage except named exclusions. ICC-B and ICC-C are named-perils policies covering progressively fewer events. For high-value or fragile cargo, we recommend ICC-A. For bulk commodities in robust packaging on well-established routes, ICC-C may be appropriate and more cost-effective.
Yes. A standard marine cargo policy covers goods in transit by sea, air, road or rail. The terms 'marine insurance' and 'cargo insurance' are used interchangeably in the Indian market and cover inland movements under the same policy.
The sum insured should reflect the CIF value (cost + insurance + freight) plus a customary 10% loading for anticipated profit. Underinsurance is the most common cause of partial claim recovery, we review your declared values against current commodity prices at each renewal.
Typically: original insurance certificate or policy, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading or airway bill, survey report, letter of protest (for sea cargo) and correspondence with the carrier. We assist in assembling the complete set before lodging with the insurer.
Cover under a marine policy follows the insurable interest. If you bear the risk of loss under the sale contract (e.g. FOB seller), cover should be in place until risk transfers. We can structure a clause to protect your interest precisely at the point at which title and risk pass.
