Protection first, transparency always Last Updated: March 2026

Policy Details

By using Vimaan Desk services, you acknowledge and agree to the terms and conditions outlined in this policy. Coverage, liability and claims will always be governed by the latest version published on this page.

Vimaan Desk provides baggage pickup, handling and delivery services. Our service does not replace mandatory airline check-in or any regulatory process.

We follow strict operational protocols — including tamper-evident sealing, tracking, OTP verification and delivery proofs. However, transit risk may still exist, especially during:

  • Road transportation
  • Airline baggage handling and logistics partner operations
  • Security & compliance inspections by authorized bodies

By using the service, you agree that:

  • Operational delays may occur due to external factors beyond our control
  • Service timelines published are commitments, not guarantees under Force Majeure conditions
  • Liability is limited to the selected coverage tier (if purchased)

Protection covers physical loss or physical damage to baggage during custody by Vimaan Desk or authorized partners.

Coverage Plan Max Payout Per Bag Delay Compensation Included?
Basic ₹5,000 Yes
Plus ₹15,000 ₹500 Optional
Pro ₹20,000 ₹1,000 Optional

📝 Coverage applies only if:

  • The bag was sealed by our staff at pickup
  • OTP and scan handover logs verify continuous custody
  • Loss / damage occurred while under Vimaan Desk control

Depreciation, per-item caps and category-wise limits may apply based on product type and age.

Exclusions include (but are not limited to):

  • Cash, banknotes, bullion, precious metals / stones, jewelry
  • Watches above ₹10,000, collectible items, antiques, fine art
  • Electronic items unless declared and pre-approved
  • Perishables, liquids, food, medicines
  • Hazardous / dangerous goods, firearms, ammunition
  • Fraud, misrepresentation, or unauthorized access
  • Pre-existing damage, wear & tear, loose parts, scratches
  • Emotional / sentimental value and consequential or indirect losses

If prohibited items are found, the claim becomes void and legal action may be initiated as per law.

Report immediately:

  • Within 24 hours of delivery or expected delivery

📩 Send an email to: support@vimaandesk.com
Subject: “Insurance Claim – [Order ID]”

Required documents:

  • Order ID and identity proof
  • Photos of bag (before & after transit)
  • Seal ID & operational labels clearly visible
  • Proof of value (invoice / bills / declaration)
  • Tracking screenshots / proofs of delivery issue
  • Any additional documentation requested by our team

Assessment window: 7–10 business days.
Approved claims are settled to your bank / UPI within 3–7 business days after approval.

If you did not opt for any coverage tier, liability is limited to:

Maximum ₹2,000 per bag

(This is a goodwill & handling liability cap — not the market valuation of the contents.)

This goodwill liability does not apply if:

  • The bag was improperly packed
  • Prohibited / restricted items were included
  • The bag was locked in a manner preventing mandatory inspection when required

To comply with BCAS, customs and safety laws, Vimaan Desk and its partners may:

  • Open baggage in the presence of security officials if required
  • Repack items if the container is unsafe or risks damage during transit

Records such as photos, video or notes may be maintained in such cases for security and audit purposes.

Delay compensation (if included in your selected plan) applies only when delay is:

  • Within our control
  • Not due to weather, strikes, security hold, airport congestion, regulatory interventions or operational closure

Compensation may be issued as:

  • Refund adjustment, OR
  • Vimaan Desk promo credit

Where baggage moves through third-party carriers or airlines, liability may be governed under:

  • Applicable carrier acts and aviation regulations
  • International conventions and treaties
  • Airport, customs and security mandates

In such cases, payout will be limited to whichever policy terms (carrier or Vimaan Desk) provide the lower liability ceiling.

False reporting, tampering with seals or misrepresenting contents / value may lead to:

  • Immediate claim rejection
  • Blacklisting of the customer account
  • Legal proceedings under IPC, cyber and fraud-related laws

We may amend this policy periodically to align with:

  • Regulatory and legal changes
  • Airline / courier partner requirements
  • Updated internal service standards and risk guidelines

The latest version will always be published on this page with a “Last Updated” timestamp. Continued use of the service after updates will be treated as acceptance of the revised terms.
