Re.: Revision of Survey Fee I Investigation Fees I Expenses


Dear Sir,
The Indian Institute of Insurance Surveyors and Loss Assessors, Hyderabad, vide its proposal
dated 27.4.2011, had made a representation for revision of Survey Fee I Expenses which had
been last revised in the year 2007.
The matter was referred to GIPSA by United India Insurance Co. Ltd. vide its communication
dated 14.12.2011 and was placed before the Governing Board (GB) Meeting held on
28.12.2011. The Governing Board directed GIPSA for the issue to be taken up and discussed
by GMs (Tech) of the Member Companies. Accordingly, the matter was debated in the meeting
of GMs (Tech) of Member Companies held on 03.02.2012. Representations had also been
made and inputs provided by others including Mr. A.K. Govil of MIs MACK Surveyors Pvt.
Ltd. which were shared with the GMs (Tech).
After detailed discussion, the GMs (Tech.) agreed on the necessity of some amendments in the
existing Survey I Investigation Fee and Expenses Schedule. Requisite suggestions were
submitted by the Member Companies to GIPSA and the same were collated and consolidated at
GIPSA. The proposed amendments were placed before the Governing Board of GIPSA and
were deliberated upon in its meetings held on 14.12.2012 and 31.01.2013. The proposal for
revision was finally discussed and approved in the GB Meeting held on 26.02.2013.
A copy of the Revised Survey / Investigation Fee / Expenses Schedule as approved by the
Governing Board is enclosed. For the sake of uniformity, it is advised by the Board that the
st
same shall be made effective in the Member Companies w.e.f 1 April, 2013 for the losses
