How does commercial vehicle insurance premium financing work?

A Commercial Vehicle Insurance Premium Loan is a short-term working capital loan offered by Shriram Finance that helps existing customers fund their vehicle insurance premium. Instead of paying the full premium upfront, the amount is disbursed on your behalf and repaid by you in easy EMIs over a chosen tenure.

Who can apply for the insurance premium loan?

Shriram Vehicle Insurance Premium Loan is exclusively available to existing Shriram Finance customers with an active loan account and a satisfactory loan repayment history. New customers are not eligible to apply for this loan at the moment.

How can I pay my commercial vehicle insurance premium in EMIs?

Apply for vehicle insurance on EMI — we pay the insurer directly; you repay via EMI-based premium payment over repayment tenure up to 12 months.

What types of vehicles are eligible under this facility?

The facility covers a wide range of commercial vehicles including trucks, heavy commercial vehicles, buses, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and fleet vehicles financed under Shriram Finance.

Will my insurance policy be issued immediately?

Yes, once your loan is approved and confirmed, your insurance policy is issued immediately. This ensures that there is no gap in coverage for your vehicle.

Is this facility available for insurance renewal?

Yes. The primary purpose of the insurance premium loan is to support timely insurance renewal, so that you can avoid a policy lapse and any associated penalties or legal complications.

Are there any hidden charges?

No. Shriram Finance follows a policy of transparent charges. All applicable interest rates, processing fees, and other charges are communicated clearly before you confirm the loan.

Can fleet owners avail this facility for multiple vehicles?

Yes. Fleet owners with multiple commercial vehicles financed under Shriram Finance may be eligible to avail the insurance premium loan for their fleet. Please speak to your branch representative or call customer care for details on fleet insurance premium funding.

What happens if I do not renew my commercial vehicle insurance on time?

Allowing your insurance to lapse can result in legal penalties, as third-party insurance is mandatory for all commercial vehicles in India. Additionally, an uninsured vehicle cannot operate legally, which directly impacts your business and income. Vehicle insurance renewal financing prevents insurance policy lapse before the insurance premium due date, ensuring uninterrupted vehicle operations.

Are add-on covers included in the insurance policy?

You may choose from optional add-on covers such as Zero Depreciation, Engine Protect, Roadside Assistance, and Consumables cover to enhance your protection. These are subject to availability and the terms and conditions of the insurer.
