Surveyor's verdict / key conditions सर्वेयर की जाँच

Verdict

If the modification is linked to the proximate cause of the loss (e.g. non-endorsed CNG kit = fire, non-endorsed roof-carrier = overturning), the claim is strongly repudiable. If unrelated to cause, the modification cost is not payable and depreciation applies to the standard factory-fit equivalent. ALWAYS photograph the modification + check RC and policy endorsement — if missing, record in compliance remarks and declare to the insurer up front.

अगर modification नुकसान के proximate cause से जुड़ा है (जैसे non-endorsed CNG kit = आग, non-endorsed roof-carrier = palat जाना) — claim strongly repudiable। अगर cause से असंबद्ध — modification की cost देय नहीं और factory-fit equivalent पर depreciation। हमेशा modification की photo + RC और policy endorsement check करें — endorsement गायब तो compliance remarks में record करें और शुरुआत में ही बीमा कंपनी को declare करें।

Reference material — verify figures against the current IRDAI master circular and quote the actual policy wording in the report.
