Surveyor's verdict / key conditions सर्वेयर की जाँच

Verdict

For every HGV claim: verify HGMV endorsement on the DL, badge, retention receipt. For hazardous-goods HGV (tanker, chemical carrier, LPG bowser), add the Hazardous-Goods endorsement + PESO training certificate — missing either, insurer may deny the OD and Pay-and-Recover TP. Also match class with permit (an HGMV cannot drive a HPMV even for a short joy-ride).

हर HGV claim में DL पर HGMV endorsement, badge, retention receipt verify करें। hazardous-goods HGV (tanker, chemical carrier, LPG bowser) पर Hazardous-Goods endorsement + PESO training certificate ज़रूरी — कोई भी गायब, insurer OD deny कर सकता है और TP में Pay-and-Recover। permit class से भी match (HGMV small joy-ride पर भी HPMV नहीं चला सकता)।
