5. IMPORTANCE OF MOTOR INSURANCE
Motor insurance (also known as vehicle / car / auto
insurance) is insurance purchased for cars, trucks, and
other road vehicles. Its primary objective is to provide
protection against physical damage resulting from
accidents, thefts & unforeseen circumstances.
Motor insurance in India covers for the loss or
damage caused to the automobile or its parts due to
natural and man-made calamities. It provides
accident cover for individual owners of the vehicle
while driving and also for passengers and third party
legal liability.
Motor Insurance(Third Party) is compulsory on
purchase of new vehicles whether acquired for
commercial or private usage as per Motor Vehicle Act
in India. One can be penalized for driving without a
valid cover.
Cars are an expensive investment for an individual. An
accident can turn this investment into a huge loss as
well. Hence it is important to have motor insurance.

It is compulsory for all the Private/ personal car
owners to have a motor insurance policy . It is
insurance for vehicles not used for commercial
purposes. The amount of premium depends on
the make and value of the car, state where the car
is registered and the year of manufacture.
Private Car Insurance Policy not only covers your
car against the mandatory third party liability but
also against the losses caused due to fire, theft,
explosion, burglary, riots, strikes, earthquakes,
flood, cyclones, accidents, malicious acts and
terrorist activities.

9. TWO WHEELER INSURANCE
India has one of the largest 2 wheeler production
market. Two-wheeler (motorcycle or scooter) is
perfect for quick mobility and convenience. But
steering it around in today’s times is also risky.

comprehensive insurance cover, which not only
covers you for the liability arising out of the Third
party but covers you against the loss or damage to
your own two-wheeler.

10. COMMERCIAL VEHICLE INSURANCE

cover for all vehicles which are not used for
personal purposes, rather for commercial purposes
like good carrying vehicles like the Trucks, Tempos
and HMVs.

11. THIRD PARTY MOTOR INSURANCE
This type of policy only covers the third person
who has been damaged or injured in an accident
where the owner is accountable. It covers the
insured person's liability to third parties' loss
caused by an accident involving the auto vehicle
of the insured. This refers to the minimum risks
that are to be covered under the Auto Vehicles
Act 1938 (Act Liability). It doesn't cover the
expenses, damage, theft or injuries of the owner.
This type of plan is made compulsory by the law
of India.

12. LIABILITY INSURANCE
Liability Insurance covers third party liability
for bodily injuries and/or death and property
damage. Personal accident cover for owner
driver is also included.
