Scope
The policy covers all sums which the insured
professional becomes legally liable to pay as damages
to third party in respect of any error and/or omission on
his/her part committed whilst rendering professional
service. Legal cost and expenses incurred in defense
of the case, with the prior consent of the insurance
company, are also payable, subject to the overall limit
of indemnity selected.

arising out of any criminal act or act committed in
violation of any law or ordinance is not covered.

Premium Rates:
For Individual Members in Practice:
For SI of R10 lacs, the premium proposed is R1000/-
(1:1), R803/- (1:2), R 705/- (1:3) and R600/- (1:4).
Ratios indicate relationship between AOA and AOY
Additional: Per Capita for named professional
employee - R100
Excess: 1/2% of Any One Year Limit subject to
minimum R5,000/- and maximum of R 1 Lac. (as per
Market Agreement) For higher limits.
For Chartered Account Firm:
The premium of 0.10% shall be as per rates for
Individual Chartered Accountants and shall be applied
on the AOY limit chosen. All named professionals
shall be charged R100/- extra over and above the basic
premium.
For Example: If the CA firm chooses a Sum Insured
of 2 Crore the Premium rate of 0.10% is to be applied
on the AOY limit and each professional (including
partners) have to be charged R100/- each. For example
a CA firm with 20 professionals including 9 partners
will pay R20, 000/- plus 20X R100 totalling to R22,
000/-. This would be on 1:1 ratio. If the ratio is 1:2,
the Premium rate would be .08%, if the ratio is 1:3, the
Premium rate would be .07% and if the ratio is 1:4, the
ROL would be .06% on the indemnity limit chosen.
