class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NCD after making a claim in Malaysia insurance is something every driver should understand before filing. Your No Claim Discount (NCD) can save you hundreds or even thousands of ringgit each year. However, a single claim can wipe it out entirely. The moment you file an own damage claim, your NCD drops back to 0% \u2014 no matter how many years you spent building it up. This guide explains exactly what happens to your NCD after a claim. It also covers which types of claims affect it and how to calculate whether claiming is actually worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding this can save you from a costly mistake. In many cases, the premium increase from losing your NCD costs more than paying for the repair out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_NCD_Works_in_Malaysia_%E2%80%94_A_Quick_Refresher\"><\/span>How NCD Works in Malaysia \u2014 A Quick Refresher<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before diving into what happens after a claim, here&#8217;s how NCD works in Malaysia. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.piam.org.my\">PIAM (Persatuan Insurans Am Malaysia)<\/a> sets the NCD scale, and it applies the same way across all insurers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2nd year (no claims):<\/strong> 25% discount<br><strong>3rd year (no claims):<\/strong> 30% discount<br><strong>4th year (no claims):<\/strong> 38.33% discount<br><strong>5th year (no claims):<\/strong> 45% discount<br><strong>6th+ year (no claims):<\/strong> 55% discount<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means a driver with 55% NCD pays less than half the base premium. For example, on a car with a base premium of RM2,000, the NCD saves RM1,100 per year. As a result, losing this discount hits your wallet hard for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-attachment-id=\"60159\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/car-insurance\/ncd-after-making-a-claim-what-actually-happens-to-your-discount\/attachment\/ncd-after-making-a-claim-what-actually-happens-to-your-discount-2-2\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?fit=1600%2C1012&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1012\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"NCD After Making a Claim \u2014 What Actually Happens to Your Discount (2)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?fit=300%2C190&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?fit=1080%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1080\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?resize=1080%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Illustration of a Malaysian car with No\u2011Claim Discount falling from 55% to 0% and premiums rising after an own\u2011damage claim.\u201d\" class=\"wp-image-60159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?resize=1080%2C683&amp;ssl=1 1080w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?resize=300%2C190&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?resize=768%2C486&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?resize=1536%2C971&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/bjak.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/NCD-After-Making-a-Claim-\u2014-What-Actually-Happens-to-Your-Discount-2.jpg?w=1600&amp;ssl=1 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_to_Your_NCD_After_Making_a_Claim\"><\/span>What Happens to Your NCD After Making a Claim<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you make an own damage claim \u2014 meaning you claim for damage to your own vehicle \u2014 your NCD resets to 0% at your next renewal. Every insurer in Malaysia follows this standard rule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what the reset looks like in practice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before claim:<\/strong> 55% NCD, annual premium RM900 (after discount)<br><strong>After claim (next renewal):<\/strong> 0% NCD, annual premium RM2,000 (full base premium)<br><strong>2nd year after claim:<\/strong> 25% NCD (if no further claims)<br><strong>3rd year after claim:<\/strong> 30% NCD<br><strong>4th year after claim:<\/strong> 38.33% NCD<br><strong>5th year after claim:<\/strong> 45% NCD<br><strong>6th year after claim:<\/strong> 55% NCD (fully rebuilt)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes five consecutive claim-free years to rebuild your NCD from 0% back to 55%. During those five years, you pay substantially more in premiums than you would&#8217;ve if you&#8217;d kept your NCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Claims_Affect_Your_NCD_%E2%80%94_and_Which_Don%E2%80%99t\"><\/span>Which Claims Affect Your NCD \u2014 and Which Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all claims affect your NCD the same way. This is one of the most important things to understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Claims that reset your NCD to 0%:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Own damage claims \u2014 when you claim for damage to your own vehicle, whether from an accident, vandalism, or any other covered event. This is the main trigger for NCD loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Claims that DON&#8217;T affect your NCD:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Windscreen claims \u2014 if you have the windscreen coverage add-on and claim for windscreen replacement or repair, your NCD stays intact. Insurers designed this carve-out to encourage drivers to fix damaged windscreens quickly. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/car-insurance\/windscreen-coverage-eligibility\">windscreen coverage eligibility<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third-party claims against you \u2014 if another driver claims against your policy for damage you caused to their vehicle, this doesn&#8217;t always affect your NCD. However, the rules vary by insurer. So, it&#8217;s worth checking your policy terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Theft claims \u2014 if someone steals your car and you claim under comprehensive coverage, the NCD impact depends on the insurer. Some reset NCD for theft claims. Others don&#8217;t. Always confirm with your insurer first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s the key takeaway: windscreen claims are generally safe. Own damage claims are not. Everything else falls into a grey area that depends on your specific insurer and policy terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Maths_%E2%80%94_When_Claiming_Isn%E2%80%99t_Worth_It\"><\/span>The Maths \u2014 When Claiming Isn&#8217;t Worth It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where most drivers make a costly mistake. They file a claim for minor damage without calculating the long-term cost of losing their NCD. Here&#8217;s a simple example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scenario:<\/strong> Your car has a minor dent and scratch from a parking lot incident. The repair costs RM800.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your current NCD:<\/strong> 55%<br><strong>Base annual premium:<\/strong> RM2,000<br><strong>Current premium (with 55% NCD):<\/strong> RM900<br><strong>Premium after claim (0% NCD):<\/strong> RM2,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost of claiming:<\/strong><br>RM800 repair covered by insurer<br>Minus: Excess of RM400 (you pay this out of pocket anyway)<br>Net insurance benefit: RM400<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost of losing NCD:<\/strong><br>1st year after claim: RM2,000 \u2013 RM900 = RM1,100 extra<br>2nd year: RM1,500 \u2013 RM900 = RM600 extra (25% NCD)<br>3rd year: RM1,400 \u2013 RM900 = RM500 extra (30% NCD)<br>Total extra premium over 3 years: approximately RM2,200<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this scenario, you get RM400 from the insurer but pay an extra RM2,200 in premiums over the following years. As a result, the claim costs you RM1,800 more than paying for the repair yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here&#8217;s the rule of thumb:<\/strong> If the repair cost minus your excess is less than two years&#8217; worth of NCD savings, don&#8217;t claim. Pay for the repair out of pocket and protect your NCD. For more on how excess works, see this guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/car-insurance\/differences-between-excess-deductibles-in-car-insurance\">excess vs deductible in car insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_Does_It_Take_to_Rebuild_NCD_After_a_Claim\"><\/span>How Long Does It Take to Rebuild NCD After a Claim?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rebuilding NCD takes time. There are no shortcuts, no fast-track programmes, and no way to buy your way back to a higher NCD level. It&#8217;s purely time-based:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2<\/strong>nd<strong> year without claims:<\/strong> 25% NCD<br><strong>3<\/strong>rd<strong> year without claims:<\/strong> 30% NCD<br><strong>4<\/strong>th<strong> year without claims:<\/strong> 38.33% NCD<br><strong>5<\/strong>th<strong> year without claims:<\/strong> 45% NCD<br><strong>6th year without claims:<\/strong> 55% NCD<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year requires a full 12-month claim-free period. If you make another claim at any point during the rebuilding phase, your NCD resets to 0% again. Then the clock restarts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of this, protecting your NCD is one of the most important financial decisions in car ownership. A 55% NCD represents five years of discipline. Losing it over a minor claim can cost thousands of ringgit in extra premiums over the rebuild period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NCD_After_Making_a_Claim_%E2%80%94_Smart_Strategies_for_Malaysian_Drivers\"><\/span>NCD After Making a Claim \u2014 Smart Strategies for Malaysian Drivers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are practical tips to protect your NCD and make smarter claiming decisions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Always calculate before claiming.<\/strong> Compare the repair cost (minus excess) against the premium increase from losing your NCD. If the maths don&#8217;t favour claiming, pay out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Get a repair quote first.<\/strong> Before deciding whether to claim, get a quote from a trusted workshop. Many minor repairs cost less than drivers expect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Use windscreen claims wisely.<\/strong> Windscreen claims don&#8217;t affect your NCD. So, always claim for windscreen damage rather than paying out of pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Report accidents even if you don&#8217;t claim.<\/strong> You&#8217;re legally required to report accidents to your insurer within a specified period. However, reporting isn&#8217;t the same as claiming. You can report an incident and choose not to file a claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Increase your voluntary excess.<\/strong> A higher voluntary excess lowers your premium. It also sets a higher threshold for when claiming makes financial sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Check your NCD status regularly.<\/strong> Verify your NCD through the ISM portal to make sure it&#8217;s recorded correctly. Errors can happen, especially after switching insurers. Learn <a href=\"https:\/\/bjak.my\/blog\/car-insurance\/method-on-checking-ncd-in-2026\">how to check your NCD in 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Does my NCD reset to 0% after every claim in Malaysia?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, for own damage claims. Your NCD resets to 0% at your next renewal after you make an own damage claim. However, windscreen claims under the windscreen add-on don&#8217;t affect your NCD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. How long does it take to rebuild NCD after a claim?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need five consecutive claim-free years to rebuild from 0% back to the maximum 55% NCD. Each year without a claim moves you up one level on the NCD scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Should I claim for small damage to my car?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, no. If the repair cost minus your excess is less than the premium increase you&#8217;ll face from losing your NCD, it&#8217;s cheaper to pay for the repair out of pocket and keep your discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Does a windscreen claim affect my NCD?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. Windscreen claims under the windscreen coverage add-on don&#8217;t count in NCD calculations. Your discount stays intact after a windscreen claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Can I buy back my NCD after a claim?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No. There&#8217;s no way to purchase or restore NCD in Malaysia. You can only rebuild it by maintaining consecutive claim-free years. Some insurers offer NCD protector add-ons that prevent your NCD from resetting after a first claim. However, you must buy these before the claim happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your NCD is one of the most valuable parts of your car insurance profile in Malaysia. A single claim can reset it from 55% to 0%. That costs you thousands of ringgit in higher premiums over the following five years. Before filing any claim, calculate whether the payout is worth the NCD loss. In many cases, paying for minor repairs out of pocket is the smarter move.
