Necessary that the declared values should approximate to this figure at some time during the policy year. The insured will declare periodically, say daily, weekly or monthly the average of values at risk during the said period. If declarations are not received within the specified period, the full sum insured under the policy shall be deemed to have been declared. Reduction in sum insured not to be allowed under any circumstances. Refund of premium on adjustment based on the declarations/cancellations shall not exceed 50% of the total premium.

Subject to Average Clause as applicable.

Declaration-linked basis

1. Property insurance. Policies covering stock that allow the insured to maintain a full insurance on fluctuating stock values without over-insuring. The insured selects an amount at risk and pays a deposit figure based on 75 per cent of that figure. Following a series of stock declarations the premium is adjusted up or down by up to 33% per cent at the end of the year. 2. Business interruption. The insured identifies an estimated gross profit and the policy automatically allows an increase in this figure. The premium is adjusted up or down by up to 33% per cent at the end of the year when the actual gross profit is known.
