Terror cloud & missing umbrellas

Insurance industry should necessarily come forward to introduce terror covers and that too on an urgent basis...


As terrorist attacks have become more of day-to-day events rather than standalone ones, Indian insurance industry now suddenly faces a major drawback. While the burden of bearing terrorism risk (also the inability to effectively transfer or insure terrorism risk) has begun to hound the business community, no real standalone terror cover is actually available (so far insurers in India sell coverage for terror attacks as an added provision to the general insurance) with the insurers at the moment. Thus the number of business houses covered for terrorist attacks is really low. And the fact became more obvious after the 26/11 incident. While Mumbai suffered a total loss of over Rs.40 billion, as per early industry estimates, the total insured losses amount to a meagre Rs.5 billion. That simply means pity on those people who lost the rest of the amount.

The ‘Terror Insurance Pool’ set (post 9/11) under the aegis of Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has mandated all general insurance companies be allied to a common pool for terrorism insurance, yet what needs to be understood is the fact that it covers only damage of property and not loss of lives.
