    In insurance, a bonus-malus system (BMS) is a system that adjusts the premium paid by a customer according to their individual claim history.

    Bonus usually is a discount in the premium which is given on the renewal of the policy if no claim is made in the previous year. Malus is an increase in the premium if there is a claim in the previous year. Bonus-malus systems are very common in vehicle insurance. This system is also called a no-claim discount (NCD) or no-claims bonus in Britain and Australia.


    I did not know that it has a name of bonus malus system however it is extremely common from the name no-claim discount. To add, it also gets transferred from one company to another if ahe hasnot claimed anything in an year and wants to change the company.

    It can be transferred too!!💯
