Insured Declared Value IDV is the sum assured value in the vehicle insurance policy. IDV in vehicle insurance gets calculated basis the manufacturer's listed price of a particular vehicle and adjusting current selling price of the vehicle with depreciation percentage as prescribed in the rate grid. It is the maximum sum insured compensated on theft, loss or complete damage to the vehicle by the insurer.

IDV is calculated depending on factors such as age, make and brand of the vehicle. IDV decreases for each year at the time of renewal of the vehicle insurance. Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority (IRDA) which regulates the insurance industry in India, has set the IDV of the vehicle as 95% of its ex-showroom price. With an increase in the age of the vehicle the depreciation also increases. IDV of the new vehicle will be high and as the vehicle gets older, IDV will go down.

NCB is abbreviation of No Claim Bonus. It is a reward given to the policy holder by the insurer for not making a claim in the preceding years. The reward is in the form of discount on premium payable which ranges from 20% to 50%.

NCB can be claimed on the first renewal of the policy on the condition that there was no claim made in the past year. On the first-year renewal, you can claim a discount on the premium payable by 20% which will gradually increase with every claim free year up to a maximum of 50% at the end of five claim free years.

NCB reward is attached to the policy holder and not the car. This means you get to retain your NCB if you sell your car and buy a new one or if you want to switch to another insurer at the time of renewal of the policy.

Zero depreciation or ‘zero dep’ policies are getting popular among vehicle owners. These policies offer full claim payment without any deduction for depreciation on the value of parts replaced. This also covers the repairing costs of fibre, glass, rubber parts and plastic. A standard rate of depreciation for a vehicle ranges from 0 to 50% depending on the age of vehicle and the type of material, thereby making you pay money from your pocket at the time of a claim in a standard policy. But in the case of a zero-depreciation policy, no depreciation is charged, thus a 100% reimbursement on replaced or depreciated parts can be availed leading to maximum benefit under the cover.

Some insurers which provide zero dep cover in India are Tata AIG General, Bharti AXA General, ICICI Lombard General, Reliance General and HDFC Ergo General.

Zero dep is useful for new cars or cars up to the age of 5 years. The premium for Zero dep policies is slightly dearer than a standard car insurance policy. There is also a cap on the number of claims that can be made without depreciation during the term of the policy. Normal wear and tear or mechanical breakdowns are not covered in a Zero dep insurance.
