Two-wheelers have become the preferred mode of transportation for people due to their convenience and safety features. However, we all need to be responsible drivers and follow the law. As per Indian Motors Act 1988 and recently enacted Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019 it is mandatory that all drivers have their two-wheelers insured, failing which they would be fined Rs 2,000 and /or imprisonment up to 3 months and on subsequent offence, fine goes up to Rs 4,000 and/or imprisonment up to 3 months.

Two-wheeler insurance falls into three categories.

• Third-Party Policy: It protects the insured from the liability arising out of any 3^rd party injury or death, also damage caused to the 3^rd party property is covered. Further your may also opt for personal accident cover for owner driver for a sum insured of Rs 15 lakhs.
