On the expiry of each period of insurance the premium shall be calculated at the rate of …… (insert the Tariff rate) on the average sum insured namely, the total of the values declared or deemed to have been declared divided by the number of declarations due to have been made.

currency(whether stocks exist or not) the premium to be retained by the

provisional premium whichever is the greater; but if the policy is cancelled by the

insured after a loss has occurred the premium to be retained by the

Corporation/Company shall be the pro-rata proportion of premium calculated on

the average amount insured up to the date of cancelment plus the pro-rata

proportion of the premium from the date of loss to the expiry of the period of

insurance on the amount of the loss paid, or 50 per cent of the provisional

8. It is warranted that every policy covering the insured's stocks on a declaration basis shall

be identical in wording.

FIRE EXTINGUISHING APPLIANCES (FEA) DISCOUNT.

In an attempt to reducing or minimizing loss should a fire occur, insured’s are encouraged to install various fire fighting equipments at their premises and for this a substantial amount of premium discount is allowed. This section deals with various pros & cons for such installations and discounts therefor.

RULES FOR FEA DISCOUNT

The sanction of FEA discount on insurance premium must necessarily follow consideration, by the Central Rating Committee, of all details of the risk, manufacturing processes involved and the protective appliances installed in order to ensure that the standards have been fully observed. With this end in view, definite rules have been laid down as follows for FEA discount entitlement:

1. Application for discounts alongwith the requisite fee must be submitted by the insured through his insurer on specific forms provided for the purpose by the Authority (as per Forms prescribed in this section) and must contain the requisite particulars of the appliances installed.

2. Specification of Appliances:

CRITERIA FOR RATING OF COTTON MILLS

Note: - (1) The Criteria shall applicable only to those Mills which have been rated on or before 31st December 1962.

(2) Mills submitted for rating on or after 1st January, 1963 to be rated strictly as per Tariff.

(3) In the event the application of the revised Cotton Mills Tariff rated results in an increased premium for any particular Mill. then it may be submitted to the Committee for special rating and consideration

(4) Any Mills which get unusually large reductions in the premiums after implementation of the revised Tariff and Criteria will be specially rated so as to ensure that the final premium is not less than 75% of the old premium.

(1) For rating under this criteria, the basis of separation will be as follows:

Process Departments:-

Perfect, Substantial or Communicating.

Non-Process Departments:- Perfect or communicating.

Requirement for Perfect Separation:-

That the dividing wall(s) between the

two adjoining sections must be a perfect party wall (PPW), as defined in the Building Regulations. Further, any opening(s) provided in the wall, should be protected by approved Double Fireproof Doors.

Requirements for Substantial Separation:-

The following will be considered as providing substantial separation:-

(i) A solid wall of concrete or stone or burnt brick properly bonded in lime or mortar not less than 9" in thickness carried upto and flush with the roof. In the event any openings are provided, then these should be restricted to 3 in number, each having an area not more than 56 sq. ft. Further, the size of the openings should be limited to 9' in height and 8' in width and must be provided with close fitting doors on each side of the opening, preferably of the sliding type and of specifications not less than the following:—

(a) Doors of non- resinous timber not less than ½" in thickness; or

(b) Doors of galvanized corrugated iron not less than 18 guage on steel framework; or

(c) Iron or steel doors not less than in thickness; or

(d) Iron or steel doors of sheet metal not less thany thickness on a framework of iron or steel.

Where no openings are provided in the wall described above, then communication between 2 adjoining departments may be provided by means of an external corridor which may or may not be roofed and which should not be more than 6" wide and 9" high. The doors entering the passage must be at least 15" apart and both entrances must be protected by at least one door as specified in (a),(b),(c) or (d) above. No storage of any kind must be permitted in the corridor.

CRITERIA FOR RATING OF COTTON MILLS —(Contd.)

(2) Main Sections :

For the purpose of criteria,the following items will be considered as constituting "Main Sections" in a Cotton Mills:—

i) Waste Opening including Roving, Willowing and Thread Extracting.

ii) Blow Room.

iii) Hand Mixing.

iv) Carding.

v) Spinning,Drawing,Simplex and Combing.

vi) (a) Weaving preparatory, (b) Weaving and (c) Finishing.

(3) Perfect Separation Discount:

A discount of 10% will be allowed from Tariff rates where the following lower-rated sections are perfectly separated from an adjoining higher-rated section (s) as shown:—

(a) If Carding is perfectly separated form all higher-rated departments as shown under (i) to (iii) of the "Main sections" above.

(b) If Spinning is perfectly separated from all of the higher-rated departments as shown under (i) to (iv) of the "Main sections" above.

(c) If Weaving preparatory and/or Weaving and/or Finishing are perfectly separated from all of the higher-rated departments as shown under (i) to (v) of the "Main sections" above.

N.B.:—For the departments listed under item (vi) of the Main Sections, to qualify for a 10% perfect separation discount, any one of these departments need be perfectly separated from adjacent department.

Note:—Perfect separation from singeing and/or Raising Section, will not entitle the insured to the perfect separation discount, as these are not Main Sections.

(4) Substantial Separation:

Where perfect separation is not provided between different Main Sections, then for the purpose of rating differential rates as given in Tariff will be permissible to those Main Sections which are at least "substantially" separated.

(5) Communication:

Where separation between "Main Sections" falls below the criteria for "substantial) separation i.e. when two departments are said to be "communicating" then the rate to be applied for the Main Section with the lower book rate. will be the neat rate or book rate chargeable for the adjoining section, whichever is lower, subject to the following provision.

In the event if either of the first three Main Sections viz., Waste Opening, Blow Room or Mixing communicate with any of the Main Sections from (iv) to (vi),then the rates for the latter sections will be loaded by 100%.
