Insurance cover plays an important role in covering all the losses that a jeweller comes across in life. There are issues of robbery, stealing by the staff, shop burglary, earthquake, civil commotion, fire etc. The industry is known to work with Angadiya service, a door-to-door service to tackle the same. What are the various jeweller block policies available? Stock out of safe, outside business hours must be covered in an insurance policy. Cash on the premises should also be covered. Certification of diamonds is also covered in this particular insurance. Stock in the display window is another thing which must be covered. Basis of valuation in the stock The industry is moving from unorganised to organise. The market price and the labour charges must be covered too. Warranties CCTV cameras should be there. There should be a common watchman or a personal watchman. A standard safe should be there. Shoplifting claims are made using CCTV footage only. Therefore, it is more important to get CCTV warranty than to have a watchman. Jewellers block policy is the combination of fire insurance, burglary insurance and marine insurance. A single most policy for all the risks. Section 2A, also called transit covers incidents of thefts that occur when the jeweller is travelling.
