Yes. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, all motor vehicle owners must have third party insurance cover.

The law in the country makes it compulsory for you to insure your motor vehicle. The compulsory nature of the law protects you against third party liability. While insuring against third party liability is important, it also makes good sense to buy a comprehensive cover to give you all round protection.

The basic insurance covers offered are as under:

• Liability Only Policy: covering the liabilities towards third parties only, as per Motor Vehicles Act. This insurance is mandatory for a vehicle plying in public roads, as per Motor Vehicles Act.
• Package Policy: In addition to the above, the loss or damage to the vehicle insured, by specified perils, is also covered subject to the value declared and other terms and conditions in the policy.
• Bundled Policies for new vehicle i.e. 1 Year own damage + 3 years third Party for private cars, 1 Year own damage + 5 Years third Party for two wheelers.
• Long Term Package Policies for new vehicle i.e. 3 years package for private Car, 5 years package for two wheelers.
• Standalone own damage policy for private cars & two wheelers.
• Long Term Liability only policies for new vehicles i.e. For 3 years policy for private car, 5 years policy for two wheelers
