My daughter's wedding is being held at a resort in Goa next month. I am paying for the guests' travel to and fro from Goa. Will the event insurance for the wedding also cover any travel-related problems like flights getting cancelled, etc? 
– P Yashvant

The wedding insurance policy pays for the expenses incurred in the event of a cancellation or postponement of the wedding due to various perils. Non-appearance of the guests due to flight cancellation is not part of the coverage under such a policy. However, in case of a cancellation of the wedding, travel expenses incurred by the insured and family members including their guests' travel expenses can be allowed to be covered as part of expenses which are specifically declared in the policy.

Can I take only the third-party insurance for my car insurance? 
– Swati Verma

It is the choice of the customer to cover the car only for third-party liability insurance, which is a statutory requirement under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, or a comprehensive cover for the car and third party insurance. Third-party insurance covers the financial loss only against any legal liability that the owner may incur due to death or bodily injury to a third party or damage to the property of a third party while using the vehicle. People may normally opt for third party coverage only considering financial aspects, age of the vehicle, limited use of vehicles, etc. They also have the option for a restricted cover for liability only and fire and/or theft risks in case they wish to have improved coverage at lower premiums. For new and costly vehicles, it is always advisable to take a comprehensive cover, which insures the owner against damage to the owned vehicle as well as third party liability.
