Are you currently in the middle of selecting the perfect bike or scooter model? While doing so, you must also spare a thought about the insurance policy for this brand new vehicle.
As per the Motor Vehicle’s Act of 1988, all two-wheelers and cars plying on Indian roads must have valid insurance coverage at all times. Failure to comply with this rule can lead to hefty fines, ranging up to Rs.4000 for repeat offenders.
In most cases, two-wheeler dealerships bundle insurance policies when you purchase a vehicle from them. However, you are free to refuse such an offer and seek your insurance plan directly from the various companies in the market.
