The fire & Perils Policy covers material damage loss only.  A consequential loss policy however covers loss of revenue when such investment is rendered temporarily unproductive owing to damage by an insured peril.

Fire consequential loss must be taken up together with a Fire (material damage) policy.

Every consequential loss policy must contain a PROVISION that at the time of the happening of the damage there shall be in force an insurance covering the interest of the premises against such damage and that the payment shall have been made or liability admitted thereof under such insurance. 

The insured must prove insurable interest in the property for the consequential loss to be placed.

WHAT IS THE BASIC COVER?:-

Loss of Gross Profit following reduction in turnover

Increased Cost of Working (additional expenses incurred to prevent further reduction in turnover
