Indemnity clause is inserted in an agreement when the opposite party geeting loss due to some contigents then the loss suffered by hime should be reimbersed by other party.

Dear Prashant,
Indemnity clause is basically kept in a contract to protect a party from any indirect loss/damages that a party may suffer due to the other contracting party(ies)
However as far as breach is concerned, contract act provides that damages for a breach can be given only for direct loss/damages and not for incidental and ancilliary loss/ damages
Also, indemnity can be invoked or claimed for third party losses/damages/claims but damages for breach can be claimed only interse parties to the contract
I hope that gives some clarity
