Impact of GST Reforms on Car Insurance Premiums

Posted on 2025-12-24 08:32:48

People purchasing cars from September 2025 onwards will benefit from the newly introduced GST rate cuts and the removal of cess on automobiles. Besides enjoying lower car prices, they will benefit from reduced GST on car insurance in the form of reduced premiums. Whenever tax reductions are announced for vehicles, automakers pass the benefit down to buyers by lowering car prices. As the car’s value decreases, so does the Insured Declared Value (IDV), which is the value used for the insurance calculation. This reduced IDV (the vehicle’s current market value) lowers the premium for the ‘own damage’ component of comprehensive car insurance policies, as it’s a proportion of the IDV. Since some insurers set premiums partly as a percentage of ex-showroom/IDV, the tax change flows through. In this blog, we’ve covered the impact of GST reforms on vehicle prices and insurance premiums in great depth.
