This householders' insurance section provides cover against accident or misfortune anywhere in India for valuable items, such as jewelry, gold, silver, and other precious metal items, watches, clocks, photographic equipment, video cameras, telescopes, microscopes, music instruments, and sports equipment.
Usually, a valuation certificate is required for jewelry and valuables if:

- The sum insured in your policy is Rs. 5 lakh or more
- The value of an individual item exceeds Rs. 5,000
Exclusions

- Cracked, scratched or broken lenses, glass, gramophone records or any other fragile item
- Valuables stolen from a car, except from a fully enclosed saloon car having all doors, windows and other openings securely locked and fastened.
