Misc D vehicle insurance is a specialised commercial vehicle policy designed to protect vehicles that are used for business or commercial purposes and are exposed to higher risk than ordinary vehicles. These vehicles require a dedicated insurance plan to secure them against unexpected losses and damages. SBMFA Insurance offers this insurance to ensure your commercial assets remain protected.

Misc D vehicles include a variety of commercial machines and transport vehicles such as tractors, cranes, excavators, harvesters, goods carriers, and other specialised vehicles used either by the owner or by their employees for business tasks. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, it’s mandatory to insure commercial vehicles, making Misc D insurance essential for legal compliance and financial protection.
This policy protects your vehicle against loss or damage caused by:
Fire, explosion, and lightning
Theft or burglary
Riot or strike
Earthquake, flood, and other natural disasters
Terrorist acts and malicious damage
Accidents and external forces
Depreciation rates on various vehicle parts are applied as per policy terms when settling claims.
The policy safeguards you from financial liability if your vehicle causes injury, death, or property damage to a third party. It provides cover for:
Bodily injury or death resulting from the use of the vehicle
Damage to third-party property arising out of use of the insured vehicle
If your Misc D vehicle becomes disabled and needs towing, the policy covers damage occurring during towing—as long as it’s not for commercial reward.
In case of an accident, the policy provides personal accident benefits to the owner-driver, including medical expenses, income loss support, and compensation for disability or death.
Misc D insurance will not cover:
Loss or damage outside the geographical region stated in the policy
Claims arising from contractual obligations
Damage due to nuclear risks
Loss from war, civil unrest, rebellion, etc.
Accidents caused by a driver not mentioned in the policy’s driver clause
To keep your policy valid:

Provide all necessary information and support for claim processing.
Do not admit liability or offer any settlements without written authorization.
The insurer may choose to repair, replace, or pay for the loss.
The vehicle must be maintained in good condition and protected against loss.
If there is other insurance covering the same risk, SBMFA Insurance will only pay its share.
In case of the insured’s death, the policy remains valid for 3 months to allow transfer to legal heirs.
To transfer or obtain a new policy, the legal heir(s) must submit:
Death certificate of the insured
Proof of vehicle ownership
Original policy documents
