With the rapid transformation in lifestyle and technology, the sphere of crime has also widened. Hence, the need for Crime Insurance Policies has increased with time, specifically for companies who are widely exposed to different types of potential criminal incidents across single or multiple geographies.

The typical Crime Insurance policy covers losses that fall in the categories of a crime specified in the coverage policy. Under a commercial crime policy in the situation of ‘loss discovered’ form, coverage is provided for loss discovered during the policy period, while in the situation of ‘loss sustained’ form, coverage is provided when the loss is actually sustained. The Crime insurance cover for losses in cash, merchandises, assets, or any other property when a crime occurs.
