What's covered
The Bharat Sookshma Udyam Suraksha Policy provides insurance cover for business property up to ₹5 Crore in total asset value at one location.

Faq’s
The Bharat Sookshma Udyam Suraksha Policy is meant for micro and small businesses whose total insurable asset value at one location does not exceed ₹5 Crore. If assets exceed this limit, a different standard product applies.
The policy covers physical loss or damage to buildings, plant and machinery, furniture, fixtures, and stock caused by insured perils such as fire, explosion, earthquake, flood, storm, riot, impact damage, and terrorism.
The ₹5 Crore limit refers to the total insurable value of all covered assets at one insured location. If the total asset value crosses ₹5 Crore, the business must opt for another applicable property policy.
If the declared Sum Insured is slightly lower than the actual reinstatement value, underinsurance up to 15% is ignored. This helps avoid proportional claim reduction for small valuation gaps.
Buildings, plant and machinery, and contents are settled on a reinstatement value basis. Stock is settled based on landed cost, input cost, or manufacturing cost, depending on its stage at the time of loss.
In case of loss, the insured must immediately inform the insurer, submit the claim form with supporting documents, and cooperate with the appointed surveyor. A standard excess of ₹5,000 applies per claim.
No. This is a standard IRDAI-defined product with uniform coverage terms across insurers. While the Sum Insured can be adjusted up to ₹5 Crore, the core structure and coverage conditions remain fixed.
