Magma HDI Car Insurance Sum Assured

Sum assured is the most important information that is needed while buying a car insurance. There is a simple calculation to get your sum assured value.

Sum assured depends upon the Insured’s declared value (IDV) i.e. the listed value of a car less depreciation charged according to the age of a car.

Magma HDI calculates the value of Sum assured as follows:

• Age of a car does not exceeds 6 months - depreciation charged @ 5%.
• Age of a car exceeds 6 months but doesn’t exceeds 1 year – depreciation charged @15%.
• Age of a car exceeds 1 year but doesn’t exceeds 2 years – depreciation charged @ 20%.
• Age of a car exceeds 2 years but doesn’t exceeds 3 years – depreciation charged @ 30%.
• Age of a car exceeds 3 years but doesn’t exceeds 4 years – depreciation charged @ 40%.
• Age of a car exceeds 4 years but doesn’t exceeds 5 years – depreciation charged @ 50%.

If in case the manufacturer doesn’t have any of your accessory’s listed price, then the actual value of that accessory after deducting depreciation would be added to the Sum assured amount.
