Hi,
What u can do is take a third party for your old car and then transfer the comprehensive to the new car you are planning to buy.
I was going thru the thread and I think now we have a maximum NCB of 50%. It doesnt go beyond 50%. 65% NCB is for old insurance policy which was taken probably 10 or 15 yrs back. Correct me if I am wrong.
I had used my NCB of my old car when I bought my new Viva in 2004. At that time I had a UNO which I had used for 4 years and had 50% NCB. At that time I had checked with my insurance agent and he told that 50% is the maximum you can get.
Cheers!!!
Most probably, you would be claiming NCB from the second year onward. Unless you can convince your insurance company to give you a refund once the NCB certificate is forwarded to them.
Is there any way i can get the NCB for the car i have sold recently and transfer it to my new car? of course if the buyer agrees!!!

Every vehicle must be insured at the time of registration.Hence you will need to insure the new vehicle
What you could do is, take 3rd party insurance till you sell the old vehicle then transfer the NCB - (though I'm not sure if you are allowed 3rd party ins on a new vehicle).
FYI - once you sell a vehicle the NCB can be transfered within 3 years to the new vehicle.

What do you mean by "buyer agrees" - The Insurance is in YOUR name - you need to decide if you want to sell the vehicle with the insurance or not!
Here too I have the view that you cannot sell/ transfer the insurance to the new owner.
Regarding the 65% no NCB, I was speaking to somebody from HDFC chubb who confirmed the rules were changed some time back. ( think its less then 3 years back but cant be certain ) the maximum NCB possible now is 50%.

What does GIC stand for? does this include the private insurance companies? And any idea where I can get a list of all the insurance companies in this organization?

Correct. But it could be only for new policies / NCB buildup. My insurance policies, dated before this rule came into place, still read (and give the benefits of) 65% NCB.

That means I have 50% NCB for my indica, I can not transfer it if I am buying Safari.

What they mean by class is "Private vehicle to Private vehicle". Hence you can transfer you Indica NCB to Safari.

Quick question here...
I am trying to sell my old indica to third party dealer and going to buy a new Getz...
The third party dealer insists that the insurance also be sold along with the car.. I dont want to do that because insurace has 50% NCB which i can use for my new car
The dealer insists that it is standard practise that they get back cars included with the insurance....
Just wanted to check with the knowledgeble folks here
Thomas,
What I would suggest is get a third party insurance for the old car and hand over the same to the dealer to whom u r selling the car.
That is the best bargain u can have.
Cheers!

Practice is different from rule. You can price the car without insurance (or get a 3rd party as carlover98 says). You will save quite a lot on your Getz premium.
The bonus is attached with the driver, so the new buyer anyways cannot use that for renewal.
hi thomas,
dont give away the NCB policy .it is actually a valued 'treasure' .keep it ,because you are going to reap increased benefits as you upgrade from one car to another
Another question.
Let us say I bought a car and during the first year no claims were made. This makes me eligible for the NCB in the second year. Now in the second year, if I make a claim, I cannot have NCB in the third year. If in the third year, no claims were made, then can I get the benefit of NCB in the fourth year?
I have got my answer. It is a reward for No claim in the previous year. So it takes longer to build up the 50% benefit.
