Tata Punch is a safe car with 5-Star Global NCAP crash test rating. Punch has shown his skills in keeping the passengers safe even in some scary accidents. Thus, it seems that it becomes difficult for the owners to get an insurance claim. Why are we saying this? Well, a Tata Punch owner was caught for intentionally ramming his car into a wall and board and is claiming repairs from the insurance company. Lastly, with zero depreciation policies coming into effect, it has become very easy for owners to claim repairs on insurance policies. However, this owner was caught damaging the car.
The video has been shared by Prateek Singh on YouTube. In the video, the host reveals that the car was damaged as the insurance company officials asked the man to first damage the car to a great extent and only then a claim can be filed. Officials were trying to avoid the cost of repairs as the damage was apparently very minor. The owner of Punch, on the other hand, took the statement seriously and rammed the car into the wall to damage it. Not practice, we entertain or promote.
