SC On Insurance Gap & Cross – Border Motor Travel Accidents
It appears that there is, as of today, no clear statute, or binding precedent, or regulatory clarification, in force which clarifies the extension of insurance policies for cross-border travel. This uncertainty causes hurdles in deciding motor accident claims timely and efficiently, thereby affecting the claimants the most.
(iii) IRDAI is advised to consider issuing a master circular standardising cross-border coverage clauses across all motor insurance policies.
