Depreciation means the decrease in the absolute value of a commodity due to the passage of time. It is generally the result of wear & tear. In-vehicle insurance, depreciation is considered a significant factor in determining the value of a vehicle, and consequently, the coverage is affected. TATA AIG zero depreciation cover comes into play when there is an assessment of the value of your bike. The claim value decreases with depreciation and this is where zero dep cover helps.

How does TATA AIG Bike Insurance Policy with Zero Depreciation Cover Work?

TATA AIG zero dep bike insurance add-on takes care of the potential loss which your insurer company deducts from the final claim settlement amount. If you have the TATA AIG 0 dep bike insurance, the claim settlement amount won’t get slimmer due to depreciation. 

This is how it works. Generally, the insurance providers determine the settlement compensation based on the current market value of your bike. The market value is determined on the basis of IDV (Insured Declared Value).

If you purchase a bike for, say, INR  X and after a certain period of time, its value falls down to INR Y. So, the depreciation is (X-Y). The IDV will be assessed as Y & you will lose Rs (X - Y) as a depreciation deduction.

Zero dep cover prevents this from happening. You get claim settlement on the basis of X only. For TATA AIG, when you buy the TATA AIG 0 dep bike insurance, INR (X – Y) becomes zero and you get INR X as compensation.

Benefits of TATA AIG Bike Insurance Zero Depreciation Add-on Cover

  • Full compensation for depreciable parts replaced.
  • Upon claim settlement, TATA AIG bears the total cost of replacements/repairs.
  • TATA AIG also covers partial damage to battery & tyres, that too, without depreciation.

 You can buy the zero dep add-on of TATA AIG two-wheeler insurance when you buy your bike insurance or at the time of bike insurance renewal.
