It needs to be mentioned here that this is the first time that MoRTH has revised the rates in consultation with Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI). Earlier, the insurance regulator notified the third-party rates.
The third-party insurance cover is for any collateral damage caused to a third-party, because of a road accident. It is mandatory along with the own damage cover that a vehicle owner has to purchase.
