The first thought that comes to mind when thinking of the Textile industry is the risk of fire, naturally an important risk to cover against. However, the many other risks that must be covered include loss of goods in transit, theft of IP, accidents to workmen, public liability due to allegations of pollution, etc.

Odin shortlists here the insurance products that will cover all the risks faced by this sector.

Fire loss of profit / Business Interruption

Fire loss of profit / Business Interruption

A major fire, flood or similar disaster can bring a factory to a standstill for several months. During such periods, while sales and profits suffer, fixed costs like salaries and rent need to be serviced without default. It is at such times that a Business Interruption Policy (or Fire Loss of Profit Policy) helps. This policy covers loss of gross profit due to reduction in turnover/output because of the occurrence of any peril covered under the Fire and Allied perils policy.

The policy can be adapted to include precious personal belongings such as jewellery and works of art, as well as personal injury to you or your spouse.
Industrial All Risk Policy

Industrial All Risk Policy

The Industrial All Risk policy, or IAR as it is commonly referred to in the industry, is an all-encompassing policy that covers all risks that an industry may face, much more than a standard fire and special perils policy for instance. The IAR’s wider cover gives your industry protection against not just fire and allied perils, but also other possible losses such as burglary, accidental damage, and breakdown, besides the all-important ‘business interruption’ as well.
Burglary Policy

Burglary Policy

A Burglary Insurance Policy broadly covers the loss and/or damage through and due to burglary and housebreaking instances (theft following actual, forcible and violent entry of and/or exit from the premises). The policy could also include cover against hold-up risks and damages caused to your premises.
Money Policy

Money Policy

If while running your business, you are dealing in cash or cash equivalents, you will do well to buy yourself a Money Policy for the amount of cash you may have in hand at any point of time. This applies to both small round-the-corner mom-and-pop stores or larger cash handlers like jewellery showrooms and banks. Under the policy, all money in the form of currency notes and coins, cheques, money orders, postal orders, postage stamps, etc, can be covered against loss either from the premises or during transit.
Fidelity Policy

Fidelity Policy

One of the risks of running a business is possible fraud and underhand dealings involving employees. Such actions could result in embezzlement or even the redirection of company business to their own channels, leading to losses. A Fidelity Policy insures businesses against loss of income caused by such fraudulent actions, once proven. A police report is usually mandated to support such claims.
Sales Turnover Policy

Sales Turnover Policy

Any company in the business of manufacture, import, and/or export of material should insure its goods at all stages of its movement in a product’s cycle, for instance from a vendor to the factory, from the factory to the port, from port A to port B, and so on, under a ‘Sales Turnover Policy’ (or ‘STOP’, in insurance parlance). Just insure yourself for the expected annual turnover and you are done!
Open Marine Policy

Open Marine Policy

An Open Marine Policy is a policy that covers several shipments or despatches over a period of 12 months, based on the Estimated Sum Insured to be adjusted against the value of each shipment, using a reducing balance method. The policy provides automatic and continuous insurance cover to a regular exporter, importer, domestic trader, or manufacturer. The Insured party is bound to declare each and every shipment without any exceptions. Refund of premium on unadjusted Sum Insured is allowed to the insured after expiry of the policy.
Group Mediclaim Policy

Group Mediclaim Policy

A Mediclaim Policy helps individuals cover the costs of hospitalization. A Group Mediclaim Policy serves to provide a similar cover but for a group of employees of an organization. A godsend to companies in these days of high medical costs, the Group Mediclaim Policy offers financial support to its employees in case of sudden hospitalization, either due to an accident or illness, by paying most of the hospital’s bills. Premiums too can be lower based upon the number of employees covered. Dependents of employees can be covered too under this policy.
Group Term Life Policy

Group Term Life Policy

A Term Life Policy is taken by an individual to insure his or her life for a fixed amount based on which the premium is worked out, which will serve survivors well in case of loss of life during the term of the policy. A Group Term Life Policy is the same policy but taken out by a company for its employees as a group. Many companies use this policy as an incentive for their employees and cover those who are in a certain defined bracket within the company. Since it is a group policy, premiums are generally lower.
Group Gratuity Policy

Group Gratuity Policy

Gratuity is a lumpsum paid on closure of account of any employee who has resigned/retired after serving at least five continuous years at an organization, at the rate of roughly half the latest Basic salary multiplied by the number of years of service put in. Gratuity can therefore be a sizable cash outflow. However, resignations cannot always be anticipated. The Group Gratuity Policy helps cover gratuity payouts across the board, thus avoiding unexpected cashflow problems for the company.
Keyman Policy

Keyman Policy

An interesting policy that can help businesses survive sudden changes in key personnel is the Keyman Policy. This policy is a vital support tool for companies which tend to depend upon a handful of dedicated staff members to get their job done and can help compensate for their absence until a replacement is found. It is a very useful policy for companies that depend upon specific individuals within the organization for their strategy, designs, products or services.
Director & Officer Liability Policy

Director & Officer Liability Policy

Running an organization is filled with risks that go beyond the regular running of the business! Wrongful acts by staff, misleading advertising, fraud, sexual harassment, etc, result in lawsuits from employees, vendors, customers, and other stakeholders, that are usually targeted at the directors and senior executives of the company, who are personally held responsible for such wrongdoings, whether alleged or real. The Director & Officer Liability Policy provides defence costs and protects the assets of such sued individuals, thus shielding them from personal loss.
Commercial General Liability Policy

Commercial General Liability Policy

While running a business, owners come across instances where their products or services, or their employees in the course of delivering those products or services, cause some kind of property damage or even injury or fatality to a customer or onlooker. Such loss is directly recoverable from the owners of the business and may even result in legal proceedings. The Commercial General Liability Policy covers business owners from financial losses due to such litigation that may arise out of such events.
Employee Compensation Policy

Employee Compensation Policy

The Employee Compensation Act, 1923, provides for the payment of compensation by the employer to employees (or dependents in case of fatal accidents) if they are injured by accidents that occur during the course of their work. The Employee Compensation Policy is designed for companies to insure themselves against unexpected costs arising out of such sudden events that result in injuries or fatalities at the workplace. All companies, contractors and agencies that employ workmen exposed to possible hazards will benefit by this policy.
Corporate Overseas Travel Policy

Corporate Overseas Travel Policy

Most corporates have many of their executives traveling abroad on a regular basis. While most travel is event-free, there are many things that can go seriously wrong in foreign trips. Starting from simple issues such as lost baggage and missed flights, travelers can experience theft abroad of their cash and credit cards, have an accident that may require hospitalization, overstay their visa by accident and require legal assistance to return to India, etc. A Corporate Overseas Travel Policy covers such losses and ensures safe and secure travel.
