Indemnity – Principle aims at bringing the insured bank the insured to the financial position he was before the loss occurred.

Utmost good faith – The insured is supposed to disclose all material facts about the life or property to be insured to the insurance company.

Subrogation – In the event of a risk occurring and full compensation, if there is any gain that can be made out of the loss, it is taken by the insurance company

Doctrine of proximate cause – For compensation to be effected, there must be a very close relationship between the cause of the loss and the risk insured

Contribution – where the risk is large, it can b covered by several insurance companies and each company contributes towards its compensation when the loss occurs.
