Financial coverage for unforeseen events is provided by general insurance. Our insurance policies offer financial security and peace of mind by covering your home, automobile, and travel as well as protecting your health and medical expenditures. Regular premium payment helps people and companies to protect their health, valuables, and property against possible losses, hence guaranteeing peace of mind and stability in times of need.
General insurance protects individuals and businesses from financial losses caused by unexpected events, excluding life coverage. It covers assets like homes, vehicles, health, and businesses against risks such as accidents, natural disasters, theft, fire, and legal issues. By paying regular premiums, policyholders can avoid large, sudden expenses.
This insurance works on the principle of risk-sharing, where losses are spread across many policyholders. It offers peace of mind by ensuring you don’t face financial burdens alone. Common types include motor insurance, health insurance, travel insurance, and home insurance, each designed to meet specific needs.

A general insurance policy is an agreement between you and the insurance company where you pay a premium to get financial protection against risks like accidents, health issues, vehicle damage, theft, or property loss. It helps you cover unexpected expenses.
General insurance is important because it protects you from sudden financial losses. Whether it’s a car accident, hospital bill, travel emergency, or home damage, general insurance helps you manage the cost so you don’t have to pay everything out of your pocket.
You should buy general insurance when you have something valuable to protect, like your health, vehicle, home, or when you start traveling. The earlier you get covered, the safer you are from unexpected problems.
There are many types of general insurance, such as health insurance, motor insurance (for cars and bikes), travel insurance, home insurance, fire insurance, and personal accident insurance. Each one is designed to protect you from specific risks.
If you face a loss covered by your policy, you need to inform the insurance company immediately. Submit the required documents and complete a claim form. The company will verify your details, and once approved, your claim
