submitting a request to the insurer along with a copy of the FIR lodged in case of theft or loss of the policy document. The insurer will then issue a duplicate policy without any delay.The assured does not need to approach a court of law for the issue of a duplicate policy as it is a routine matter that is handled by the insurer.
