Public Liability Insurance Under PLI Act, 1991

Every business is carefully nurtured for growth and profit. But inevitably, as in life, accidents occur. For instance, a customer slips and twists her ankle because of a wet floor in your business premises, resulting in hospitalization.

Public exposures and liabilities Affected by law can bring an abrupt end to a promising business future. With HDFC ERGO’s Public Liability Insurance Policy, you are covered against such legal liabilities, giving your business the best of protection.

Sum Insured

This depends on the exposure you specify. You are required to fix two limits of indemnity as under (for both premises and transportation):

  • Any One Accident (AOA)
  • Any One Year (AOY)

AOA and AOY must be in the ratio of 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 or 1:4. It is not permissible to issue a policy with unlimited liability.
