Understanding insured declared value (IDV)

The Insured’s declared value (IDV) is the maximum amount your insurer will pay you in the event of total loss or theft of your car. The value is based on the manufacturer’s listed selling price and is arrived at by deducting the depreciation of the vehicle. 

How it’s calculated:

IDV = Manufacturer’s listed selling price – Depreciation

( + Accessories Cost of Accessories – Depreciation on accessories, if applicable)

Right IDV will serve you good at the time of claim 

What Affects IDV in Car Insurance?

Car Type

For example, SUVs usually have higher IDV than hatchbacks or sedans.

Age & depreciation

As the car gets older, its value depreciates. Older cars = higher depreciation = lower IDV. 

Accessories

Fitted accessories, especially those added after purchase are added to the IDV after applying depreciation 

Make & model

Premium will vary based on how expensive the car is. Premium or luxury car models typically have higher IDVs. 

Registration Location

Ex-showroom prices differ across cities, which slightly impacts the IDV.

How Does Depreciation Affect Your Car Insurance?

Depreciation reduces your car’s market value over time and directly impacts your IDV, which is the maximum claim amount you can receive from your insurer in case of total loss or theft. 

Car Age vs. Depreciation Rate: 

Rate of depreciation for all other parts including wooden parts will be as per the following schedule.

Age Of The Vehicle  % Of Depreciation 
< 6 months  Nil
6 months – 1 year  5%
1 – 2 years  10%
2 – 3 years  15%
3 – 4 years  25%
4 – 5 years  30%
5 – 10 years  40%
> 10 years  50%
Depreciation on Specific Parts: 
Component Depreciation
Glass parts  Nil
Fibreglass Component 30%
Rubber/Plastic/Nylon parts, tyres and tubes, batteries and air bags  50%
Painting  50%*
For Example

If you bought a car in 2022 for ₹15 lakhs → After 1 year @ 10% depreciation → IDV = ₹13.5 lakhs , If total loss occurs, max claim = ₹13.5 lakhs → You bear the rest unless you have Zero Depreciation Cover
