Property & Casualty Insurance
Property protects physical assets; casualty/liability addresses claims from others — teach the risk concept, not a universal policy.
Property insurance focuses on damage to buildings, contents, stock and equipment. Casualty / liability covers focus on claims brought by others — customers, the public, employees or shareholders — alleging injury, damage or financial loss.
Businesses often need both lenses: a fire may damage stock (property) and interrupt revenue (interruption extensions), while a slip-and-fall or product defect claim sits on the liability side. Wording, sums insured, deductibles and exclusions decide outcomes.
For founder-dependent firms, also review Business insurance and keyman concepts.

About Property & Casualty Insurance
India’s financial protection hub — Protection Check, gap tools, personal and business covers, climate risk and government schemes. Educational only — not an insurance solicitation.
Where to start
Run Protection Check or the Gap Calculator, then explore Personal or Business sections by need. Use may/can/subject-to-policy-terms wording; never treat illustrative figures as quotes.
Personal vs business
Households usually prioritise term life and health before niche riders. Businesses separately consider keyman, property and interruption covers. Government schemes have official enrolment channels only.
Claims mindset
Read the claims guide before an emergency so you know documents and timelines. Policy wording and exclusions decide outcomes — not marketing brochures.
