Surveyor's verdict / key conditions सर्वेयर की जाँच

Verdict

Payable under OD. For engine / gearbox internal damage, the surveyor MUST check whether Engine Protection add-on is in force — plain OD does not pay for internal hydro-static damage. CRITICAL: if the vehicle was re-started after water ingress, the consequential damage is NOT payable (standard exclusion). Collect — Met Dept rainfall data for the date, local civic circular / FIR / panchayat note for inundation level, waterline marks on the dashboard / seat / door-trim as photos, and the odometer reading at tow.

OD में देय। engine/gearbox की अंदरूनी खराबी के लिए surveyor को यह ज़रूर देखना है कि Engine Protection add-on है या नहीं — plain OD hydrostatic internal damage नहीं देता। महत्वपूर्ण: पानी घुसने के बाद गाड़ी दोबारा स्टार्ट की गई तो उससे हुआ consequential damage देय नहीं (मानक exclusion)। माँगें — उस तारीख़ की Met Dept की rainfall data, स्थानीय circular / FIR / panchayat note, dashboard/seat/door-trim पर waterline mark की photos, और टोइंग के समय का odometer reading।
