                        Re: Endorsement  IMT - 16

                                 PA cover to unnamed passengers other than insured

                                 and the paid driver and cleaner.

                              (For vehicles rated as private cars and motorised two wheelers   (not for hire or reward) with or without side car)

 

Insurer’s attention is drawn to Circular No. IMT/09/05 dated 4th October, 2005 wherein the words “but not driving” had been deleted from the first para (9th line) of Endorsement No.16 (page no.196 of erstwhile India Motor Tariff).

 

The modified para  read as under:-

 

“In consideration of the payment of an additional premium it is hereby understood and agreed that the insurer undertakes to pay compensation on the scale provided below for bodily injuries hereinafter defined sustained by any passenger other than the insured and/or the paid driver attendant or cleaner and/or a person in the employ of the insured coming within the scope of the Workmen’s Compensation Act, 1923 and subsequent amendments of the said Act and engaged in and upon the service of the insured at the time such injury is sustained whilst mounting into, dismounting from or traveling in the insured motor car and caused by violent, accidental external and visible means which independently of any other cause shall within three calendar months of the occurance of such injury result in.”

 

The above said circular did not specify any effective date leading to difficulties in interpretation of the applicability of the circular during the intervening period from 1.7.2002 to 4.10.2005.

 

It has now been decided by the Competent Authority that the Circular No. IMT/09/05 dated 4.10.2005  would be effective from 1.7.2002, ie. the date of implementation of the revised India Motor Tariff.

 

Insurers are requested to inform their operating offices  suitably.
