Quick answer: Accident ke baad repair aadha kaam hai — doosra aadha insurance claim hai, aur claim mein sabse bada sawal ye hai: aapki jeb se kitna jayega? Approved amount lagbhag kabhi poora bill nahi hota — compulsory deductible, depreciation aur consumables aapko dene padte hain.

Claim mein aapki jeb se kitna jayega — deductible, depreciation aur consumables
Ye woh hissa hai jo first-time claimants ko sabse zyada surprise karta hai: approved amount lagbhag kabhi poora bill nahi hota. Teen cheezein aapko deni padti hain:
- Compulsory deductible: har claim par ek fixed amount aap dete hain. Agar aapne premium kam karne ke liye voluntary deductible bhi chuna hai, to woh bhi add hota hai.
- Depreciation: standard policy ke under insurer rubber, plastic, glass aur kuch metal parts ka sirf ek percentage deta hai — percentage part aur gaadi ki umar par depend karta hai. Zero-depreciation add-on ho to depreciation nahi kat-ta — isliye nayi gaadi par ye add-on worth hai, par sirf tab jab accident se pehle kharida ho.
- Consumables: engine oil, coolant, nuts aur bolts jaise consumables aam taur par cover hi nahi hote — engine-protect ya consumables add-on ho to kuch cover hota hai, par phir bhi sirf tab jab accident se pehle kharida ho.
Estimate milte hi garage se kaho ki clearly mark kare ki kaunsi lines insurer approve karega aur kaunsi aapko khud deni padengi — taaki delivery ke waqt behes na ho. Garage paperwork mein madad kar sakta hai, par policy terms aapke aur insurer ke beech hain.
Cashless vs reimbursement — kaunsa kab sahi hai
Cashless claim mein garage aur insurer approved amount seedha settle karte hain, aur aap sirf woh parts dete hain jo policy cover nahi karti — deductible, depreciation aur consumables. Cashless ke liye garage ko insurer ke network mein hona chahiye, aur exact position aapke insurer aur policy par depend karti hai — isliye kisi bhi garage se pehla sawal ye poochho ki kya woh aapke insurer ke saath cashless kar sakta hai, na ki generally tie-up hai ya nahi.
Reimbursement claim mein aap pehle garage ko pay karte hain, aur insurer repair ke baad bills aur documents submit hone par aapko wapas deta hai. Ye kisi bhi garage par kaam karta hai, network ke bahar bhi — par isme har bill aur document carefully rakhna padta hai. Dono hi routes mein repair estimate ko surveyor se approve karwana padta hai, kaam shuru hone se pehle — approval ke bina kaam shuru hua to insurer us kaam ke paise dene se mana kar sakta hai, jise usne kabhi approve hi nahi kiya.

7 galtiyan jo claim ko slow ya reject karwa deti hain
- Spot par fault admit karna ya private settlement: likhit mein ya recorded statement mein fault admit mat karo, aur roadside private settlement soch-samajh kar karo — ek baar private settle kar liya to insurer usi damage ke paise baad mein nahi dega.
- Photos na lena: damage, number plates, road position, skid marks aur debris ki clear photos spot par lo — gaadi move ya clean karne se pehle. Ye photos baad mein surveyor aur insurer dekhte hain.
- Claim register karne mein deri: accident ke same day insurer helpline par claim register karo aur claim number lo. Surveyor ka visit aksar sabse slow step hota hai, khaas taur par weekend ya holiday ke baad — same-day registration se din bachte hain.
- Surveyor se pehle dismantling: garage ko surveyor ke aane se pehle gaadi dismantle mat karne do — surveyor ko damage jaisa hai waisa dekhna hota hai.
- Pichle repairs chhupana: agar wahi damage pehle repair hua tha aur aap dobara claim kar rahe hain, to insurer poochhega — pehle repairs ke baare mein honest raho.
- Bills khona: towing ya emergency repair ke original bills rakh lo — woh claim ka hissa ho sakte hain.
- Missing documents chhupana: koi document missing hai to garage aur insurer ko jaldi batao — survey stage par pata chalne se din waste hote hain.
Accident ke baad pehle ye karo: sab safe hain ye check karo, gaadi ko traffic se hatayo agar safe hai, kisi ko chot lagi ho to medical help aur police ko pehle call karo. Doosre driver ka naam, phone number, vehicle number aur insurance details note karo, aur time, jagah aur kya hua, ye fresh mind mein likh lo. Damage major hai to police ko call karo aur jahan required ho FIR ya police report lo — third-party claim ya theft ke liye FIR essential hai.
Documents checklist — surveyor kya maangega
Garage jaane se pehle ye ready rakho: policy copy ya policy number, gaadi ki registration certificate (RC), aapka driving licence, aur insurer helpline se mila claim number. Police report ya FIR ho to woh bhi. Third-party claim ke liye doosre party ki details aur, jahan insurer maange, unke insurance ki copy bhi.
Surveyor ka kaam hai verify karna ki kya hua, kaunse parts damaged hain, aur estimate approve karna — insurer surveyor ki report par pay karta hai, isliye ye visit decide karti hai ki bill ka kitna hissa cover hoga. Surveyor gaadi ki photo lega, damaged parts check karega, aur pooch sakta hai ki accident kaise hua. Seedha jawab do, jo jante ho wahi — guess ya exaggerate mat karo. Agar surveyor kuch disallow kare, to reason likhit mein maango — aapko ye janne ka haq hai, aur insurer se discuss karne ka bhi.
Denting, painting aur part replacement claim ke under
Zyada tar accident claims mein denting aur painting hoti hai, aur kabhi part replacement bhi. Dented panel ya to repair hota hai — pull, fill aur paint — ya replace, aur decision is baat par hai ki kitna bend hua hai aur panel ki strength affect hui hai ya nahi. Jo door abhi bhi theek se khulta-band hota hai, use aksar repair kiya ja sakta hai; jisme structure tak crease hai, use aam taur par replace kiya jata hai. Estimate mein panel-by-panel likha hona chahiye ki kaunsa repair hoga aur kaunsa replace.
Claim ke under paint work baaki gaadi se match hona chahiye — iske liye proper preparation chahiye: panel sand, prime, paint aur finish hota hai, sirf dent par spray nahi. Poochho ki paint aapki gaadi ke shade code se match hai ya nahi, aur jahan zaroorat ho blending next panel mein included hai ya nahi. Parts alag sawal hai — estimate mein likha hona chahiye ki har part genuine hai, OES hai ya aftermarket, aur insurer ki approval aam taur par policy terms ko follow karti hai. Denting aur painting ke repair-or-replace decision ke baare mein hamara denting painting guide padhein. Accident repair ke baare mein hamara accident repair guide bhi dekhein.
Timeline: din 1 se delivery tak kitna time lagta hai
Time damage par aur surveyor estimate ko kitni jaldi approve karta hai, is par depend karta hai. Quick survey ke saath chhota bumper ya fender job do se chaar din mein ho sakta hai; door ya bonnet replacement wala kaam zyada time leta hai, kyunki part order karna padta hai aur paint stages mein hota hai. Agar aapke model ka part readily available nahi hai, to aur din add hote hain — isliye estimate bante waqt part availability confirm karwao, gaadi dismantle karne ke baad nahi.
Approval ke baad repair usual order mein hota hai: dismantle, panels repair ya replace, paint, refit, aur delivery se pehle lights, alignment aur repaired panels ka final check. Delivery par purane replaced parts dikhane ko kaho.

FAQs
In an insurance claim, what do I have to pay from my own pocket?
Three things: the compulsory deductible (a fixed amount on every claim), depreciation on certain parts like rubber, plastic and glass under a standard policy, and consumables like engine oil, coolant and nuts and bolts, which are usually not covered at all. The approved amount is almost never the full bill.
What is the difference between a cashless claim and a reimbursement claim?
In a cashless claim the garage and the insurer settle the approved amount directly and you pay only what the policy does not cover — but the garage must be in your insurer's network. In a reimbursement claim you pay first and the insurer pays you back after the repair. Either way, the estimate must be approved by the surveyor before work starts.
Can the garage start repairs before the surveyor visits?
No. The surveyor needs to see the damage as it is, and the insurer can refuse to pay for work it never approved. Let the garage prepare the estimate first, then the surveyor inspects and approves it, and only then does the work start.
How many days does a claim repair usually take?
A small bumper or fender job with a quick survey can be done in two to four days. A job needing a door or bonnet replacement takes longer, because the part has to be ordered and the paint has to be done in stages. The surveyor's visit is often the slowest step, so register the claim on the same day as the accident.
Does a zero-depreciation add-on really save money on a claim?
Yes, that is what a zero-depreciation add-on is for — depreciation does not apply if you bought it. But only if you bought it before the accident. After an accident, you cannot add it for that claim.
What if my car cannot be driven after the accident?
Call or WhatsApp +91 72080 15250 first — do not drive a car with a damaged wheel, a leaking fluid, or a steering problem. The workshop is open 24x7, so a late-night accident does not have to wait until morning to be reported and the claim started.
Which documents should I carry for a claim repair?
The policy copy or number, the RC, your driving licence, and the claim number from the insurer's helpline. Police report ya FIR bani ho to use bhi saath le aao. Photos and videos of the damage taken at the spot are as important as the papers.
