RIP(Reinstatement premium)-The purpose of reinsurance is to provide coverage to the direct insurer for losses that it may incur from the policies it underwrites.However like anything else this 'coverage' too can be exhausted.In Non Proportional Reinsurance for example,the cover provided decrease by the amount of loss that the direct insurer recovers from its reinsurers.What happens then if the original limit of cover is used up? the reinsurers will allow the reinsured to have the original limit reinstated once it's fully or partially used up by a loss.
Reinstatement can either be limited or unlimited and can also be free or come at cost.When the reinstatement is at a cost, the additional premium paid is known as reinstatement premium.
