When you can cancel

Valid reasons to cancel a motor policy.

  • 01
    You sold the vehicle (transfer to buyer's name required)
  • 02
    The vehicle is a total loss or has been written off
  • 03
    You bought a duplicate policy by mistake
  • 04
    You want to switch insurers during the free-look period (usually 15 days)

Don't lose your No Claim Bonus.

Ask us for an NCB retention letter before you cancel. It lets you carry your accumulated NCB to your next vehicle for up to three years. This one letter can save you thousands at your next renewal.

Valid grounds for policy cancellation and refunds.

Vehicle Sold or Transferred

Cancel existing policy after selling your vehicle once the buyer presents proof of fresh insurance or updated RC transfer.

Double Insurance Coverage

If two active policies were inadvertently issued for the same vehicle, the duplicate policy can be cancelled with full pro-rata refund.

Total Loss or Vehicle Scrapping

In cases where RTO cancels vehicle registration due to total loss or scrapping, unearned policy premium is refunded.

Free-Look Health Cancellation

Cancel newly purchased health insurance policies within the 30-day free-look window for a 100% refund less medical checkup costs.
