What is Fire Insurance?
Fire insurance is a type of property insurance that individuals, or corporate entities can opt for, to cover losses or damages caused to insured property. This property can be office buildings, private property like houses, or any other place where you run your business.
In short, it is essentially a contract between the insured and the insurance provider, where the insurance provider agrees to cover the financial loss that the insured suffers due to a fire outbreak.
Since fire insurance policies are unique products, there are some key points to note when filing a claim. Firstly, the loss caused by the fire must satisfy two conditions:
- It Must be Due to an Actual Fire: The loss or damage to the insured property must be due to an actual fire.
- Fire Must be Accidental: No intentional or wilful fire damage to the insured property on your part will be covered.
Why Is Fire Insurance Important?
Protects Against Financial Losses
When operating a business of any kind, getting some form of property insurance is crucial to protect against financial losses. This is because unforeseen events like fire and natural disasters can cause massive and, in some cases, a total loss of goods.
Without insurance, you will have to bear these expenses out of pocket. Moreover, repair and reconstruction costs are not cheap, so it is better to get fire insurance to protect oneself from such damages at the earliest date.
Covers Property Damage
A fire insurance policy covers the repair and replacement costs of movable and immovable property in case of a fire explosion. Property types covered under a fire insurance plan include furniture, office buildings, plant and machinery, fixtures, fittings, and stock.
Stocks here can include:
- Finished goods, semi-finished goods, stock in process, stock invoiced and ready for dispatch.
- Raw materials and packing materials.
- Stocks held in trust for which the insured is responsible for.
- Stocks in Open at the Insured Premises.
Coverage for Other Perils
Fire insurance policies cover other perils like malicious damage, land subsidence, impact damages, natural disasters, and theft - within seven days from the occurrence of and proximately caused by an insured event.
This is because businesses operating in certain regions are often more prone to fire and natural disasters. A fire insurance policy is the best way to ensure these properties are financially secured.

Why Do You Need Burglary Insurance?
Property Cover
If someone breaks into your office premises and steals your merchandise in stock, fittings, and other assets, it could result in a huge loss. Opting for burglary insurance will offer more financial security and cover any subsequent losses.
It can be especially beneficial if you live in a theft-prone area, as it will cover damages caused to the premises resulting from any robberies, and the cost of the stolen goods will be compensated by your insurer.
Value for Money
As stated, property losses are a huge expense to bear. However, paying an additional premium for this extended coverage can help you save money in the long run. This is because any compensation expenses without insurance would need to be borne by you as opposed to your insurer covering the losses.

What is Burglary Insurance?
Burglary insurance is another type of property insurance that protects your business from loss or damage to assets like furniture and fixtures, machinery, equipment, etc., due to a burglary/theft.
Here, Burglary means unforeseen and unauthorised entry into the premises by forcible, violent and visible means with the intent to steal contents or property.
Whereas, Theft implies taking movable property dishonestly without your consent with the intention of permanently depriving you of the property. Theft is an additional cover that can be opted for under this bundle.
Remember, Theft and Burglary DO NOT mean the same thing under this policy.
Generally, this cover comes bundled with a fire insurance plan. It is often included as an add-on cover.
In short, burglary insurance offers additional security to your insured property by providing more coverage. This applies to independent houses, shops, or office spaces owned by you.
We provide burglary insurance as an add-on under our Tata AIG Business Guard Laghu and Sookshma plans.
