Prepare an incident report for an insurance disaster claim
A plain-language Nepal guide for policyholders documenting insured loss from fire, flood, accident or disaster who need to prepare a consistent claim evidence file, with evidence, submission, safety, and official-source checks.
Independent guide, not an official website
Nepal Docs Guide is not affiliated with the Government of Nepal. This guide helps you prepare, but official portals and offices control final rules, fees, forms, and timelines.
Quick answer
To prepare a consistent claim evidence file, prepare insurance policy and insured asset, police, fire, ward or disaster report, photos and loss inventory, repair, medical or ownership records, confirm the current process with the responsible ward, municipality, district administration, police or disaster authority, complete the official application, and keep the receipt or reference for follow-up.
Eligibility
- Policyholders documenting insured loss from fire, flood, accident or disaster
- Applicants who need to prepare a consistent claim evidence file using matching and genuine records
- An authorized representative only when the responsible authority accepts representation
Required documents checklist
- □ Citizenship, household identity or authorized organization document
- □ insurance policy and insured asset
- □ police, fire, ward or disaster report
- □ photos and loss inventory
- □ repair, medical or ownership records
- □ Official incident, ward, police, relief or disaster-registration reference
- □ Official relief, insurance, bank or service receipt when applicable
- □ Any correction, consent, authorization, or supporting record required for your specific case
Step-by-step process
- Confirm that the responsible ward, municipality, district administration, police or disaster authority is the correct authority for this request.
- Compare names, dates, addresses, registration numbers, account numbers, and other identifiers across insurance policy and insured asset, police, fire, ward or disaster report, photos and loss inventory, repair, medical or ownership records.
- Notify the insurer within the policy process, preserve the scene and damaged property safely, cooperate with survey, and keep all correspondence.
- Submit through the official portal or office and pay only through the approved channel.
- Save the application number, receipt, uploaded-file copies, and any written instruction for follow-up.
Fees and timelines
- Do not rely on an old fee screenshot or an agent's estimate. Check the latest official notice, citizen charter, portal, or responsible office before paying.
- Processing time depends on document matching, office workload, inspection, examination, technical review, or approval level. Keep the receipt and follow-up reference.
Common mistakes
- Using an old form, notice, fee, or unofficial link
- Submitting incomplete or mismatched insurance policy and insured asset, police, fire, ward or disaster report, photos and loss inventory, repair, medical or ownership records
- Paying an unofficial person or personal account without an official receipt
- Ignoring the difference between a new application, renewal, correction, duplicate, verification, or transfer
- Repairing, disposing or changing the damaged asset before documentation can reduce available evidence.

Confirm whether the loss is covered, excluded, underinsured, third-party, business interruption, medical or property damage.
After submitting
- Check the spelling and reference number on the acknowledgement or receipt.
- Track the application only through the official portal, SMS, email, or office contact.
- Respond to a deficiency notice with the requested evidence rather than creating a duplicate application.
- Keep the final certificate, licence, approval, account update, or rejection reason with the supporting records.
Avoid document and payment shortcuts
Do not alter certificates, hide mismatches, upload another person's records, share passwords or OTPs, pay an unofficial personal account, or accept a promise of guaranteed approval. Use the official portal and keep payment and submission evidence.
