TV Warranty Explained: Duration, Coverage and Start Date

Published on: 
Most TV warranties in India generally last 1 to 2 years, depending on the brand and model

Most TV warranties in India generally last 1 to 2 years, depending on the brand and model. The exact period is mentioned in the warranty terms or product documents. Always check the warranty details before buying a new TV.

The TV warranty usually starts from the date of purchase shown on the original invoice

The TV warranty usually starts from the date of purchase shown on the original invoice, not from the day the TV is unboxed or installed. Keep the original bill or invoice safely, as it may be required when requesting warranty service.

A standard manufacturer warranty mainly covers manufacturing defects

A standard manufacturer warranty mainly covers manufacturing defects and eligible hardware failures. Depending on the brand and terms, this can include internal components, the mainboard, power supply and certain panel or backlight issues. Parts and eligible labour are generally covered during the warranty period.

Warranty coverage does not mean every type of damage is free to repair

Warranty coverage does not mean every type of damage is free to repair. Cracked screens, dents, scratches, liquid damage, improper use and unauthorised repairs are commonly excluded. Some plans may also exclude damage linked to power surges or incorrect installation.

The type of service can also depend on the TV size and brand

The type of service can also depend on the TV size and brand. Larger televisions may qualify for technician visits at home, while smaller models may need to be taken to an authorised service centre. Service availability can vary by location and manufacturer policy.

An extended warranty or protection plan can increase coverage beyond the standard manufacturer period

An extended warranty or protection plan can increase coverage beyond the standard manufacturer period. Some plans add extra years, while protection programs may also cover accidental or liquid damage. For example, Xiaomi offers a TV protection plan with an extended warranty that begins after the manufacturer warranty ends.

Before buying a protection plan, check its start date, duration, exclusions, claim process

Before buying a protection plan, check its start date, duration, exclusions, claim process and deductibles. Third-party plans can have different rules from manufacturer warranties. OneAssist, for example, offers separate plans for functional breakdown and accidental damage, with coverage depending on the selected plan.
