Imagine the joy of finally purchasing your dream house—a place where you can create many memories you will cherish forever. The journey of homeownership is an exciting chapter in one’s life, but it also comes with a set of responsibilities and risks. Among these considerations arises: should you buy insurance in order to safeguard your house and unforeseen losses?
Buying insurance right after you buy your house is important since it will cover your property against damages. To promote the same, IRDAI issued guidelines for the issuance of a standard house insurance policy called Bharat Griha Raksha (BGR), meant to cover residential properties at affordable premiums.
The Bharat Griha Raksha Insurance Policy covers your home building and its contents. If unexpected events result in physical loss, damage, or destruction of your home or its contents, the insurer agrees to compensate you for the losses you incur.
