How many times have you passed on an opportunity to travel because your home would be left unguarded? After all, it is your most valuable possession and deserves optimum care. Any loss of property can be distressing, but with a home protection plan, you can carry on with your vacation plans with peace of mind. You may have insurance to protect your home from calamities, but how about going a step further and securing it in the event that you are away on a trip? As an add-on to our Home Insurance, which covers the structure of your house as well as the articles in it, Bajaj Markets now presents the Home Protection Insurance cover to protect you from burglaries while you're away.
At a small premium of only Rs. 199 per annum, the plan offers coverage of up to Rs. 5 Lakhs in case your home gets broken into.
For damages and losses to items in your home incurred while you were away, the Home Protection Insurance offers comprehensive coverage.
Note:
The coverage will start when you leave your house and end when whichever one of these events occurs first - time of your return to your house after the trip or expiration of the policy. The coverage will not commence more than 24 hours before you depart, and will cease 24 hours after your return.

We have made claiming insurance benefits extremely easy so that you can promptly report your losses and initiate the process hassle-free. Either write an email on general.claims@tata-aig.com or call the toll free number 1800119966.
Documents that will be required for you to claim benefits under the Home Protection cover are:
● Filled and signed claims form
● Copy of your police report
● Voucher confirming loss or damage to your possessions and the value, quantity and nature of such loss
● Bank statement if you have lost money or cheques
● Other documents required by the claims examiner
All documents must be returned to us within three days of making the original claim. The police report must be filed within six hours of you discovering such a loss.
When someone forcefully enters a house with the intention to rob it, it is called burglary. Robbery without any forceful entry is theft and when some known person steals, it qualifies as larceny.
You must file an FIR and submit a copy of the report in order to claim the benefits.
Your Home Protection Insurance cover will commence when you leave your place of residence to go on your trip.
