The procedure of general insurance is also different from the Life Insurance as of issuing policies. Because it provides coverage for the stocks, automobiles, buildings, cash, import & export of goods and agriculture sector etc. Also the General Insurance policy provides coverage for the period, from 10 days to one year only. The process for taking General Insurance Policy (classified as Fire, marine, Motor and Miscellaneous) that is practiced in askari involved the following steps as follows.

Submission of Form

Any individual person or any organization (form industrial sector, banking sector, agriculture sector etc.) who want to take the General Insurance Policy for the coverage of its stock, cash, automobile, plant, building, machinery, ship, construction, production, crops etc. has to submit a proposal form to agents / brokers of the particular branches of the SSICL in the country. The proposal form must contain the complete information of the particular product and especially about the amount the particular product. Like it must have (the types of policy is required, sum insured, types of coverage, period of Insurance agreement, location of the product etc). Submission of Agents Report

Then agent prepares report that contains the facts on the basis of proposal form, the enquiry made by the agent and Cover Notes (known as temporary form which is used for issuing insurance policy that contains information about the client, the sum insured, information of particular item, the amount of the premium, types of coverage and duration of agreement). Then one copy of cover note is sent to the head office of the Company and other one is sent to the clients but in case of bank or any financial institutions, two copies of cover notes are sent to the banks or any other financial institutions. The contract of insurance largely depends upon agents report.Acceptance of the Proposal

Then the Underwriting Department of the askari makes risk analysis of the given proposals and checks the warrantees and clauses. It also verifies the given information. If the Company satisfies with the given information, the Company informs the clients to pay the amount of premium. If the proposal is rejected then a letter of rejection is sent to the clients.Payment of the Premium

The clients have to pay the amount of premium with in a month, but in mostly cases the date can be extend. When the clients pay the amount of premium to any particular branches of the SSICL, the branch deposits the amount of the premium in the bank account of the SSICL and then sends the bank slip with a letter and premium voucher to the head office. The insurance contract is completed on the receipt of premium. Then Company sends the insurance policy to its clients with particular warrantees.

Procedure of General Insurance Claims As general insurance is very vast field.

If the loss is minor, insurance company would probably not appoint a loss adjuster. Instead, clients will be asked to submit the relevant quotation for repair or receipts of goods damaged to the insurance company to assessment within 15 days. In that case, clients should also send original photos showing the extent of loss to the insurer.

If there is damage to building:

Clients should obtain a quotation from the builder on the cost of restoring the building to its state immediately before the fire. Clients must make sure that Companys interest is notified.
