IndusInd Bharat Griha Raksha Policy
Bharat Griha Raskha Policy is a standardised policy designed for homeowners in India to ensure every home is protected against uncertain risks such as natural disasters, theft, fire and other serious risks. It covers both the structure of your home and your household contents, helping you manage repair or replacement costs without financial stress.
Think of it this way, your home is one of your biggest lifetime investments, built over years of savings and effort. A single fire, flood or natural disaster can cause damage that takes years to recover from. Griha Raksha acts as a safety net, ensuring that even in such situations, you’re not left starting from scratch.
With IndusInd Griha Raksha Policy (previously known as Reliance Griha Raksha Policy), you get confidence knowing your home is financially protected against major risks. While you focus on rebuilding and getting your life back on track, your insurance takes care of the financial support you need when it matters the most.

Benefits of Bharat Griha Raksha Insurance
In 2024–25, India saw a sharp rise in damage from extreme natural events such as floods, storms and landslides. These incidents resulted in over 364,000 houses affected all over India, which is up from about 140,000 the previous year. This highlights how weather-related risks are putting more homes at financial risk than before.
Similarly, fire-related damage risks have been increasing, with Delhi seeing a 14.8% increase in fire incidents, indicating the need to protect your home with a home insurance policy.

Your general household contents are automatically covered up to 20%* of the building sum insured, a maximum of ₹10 lakhs, with no separate declaration required for everyday items.
Auto Increase in Coverage
