The Karnataka government has also introduced two apps titled ‘mParivahan’ and ‘Digilocker’ for their citizens to eliminate the process of carrying a physical driving licence, registration certificate, etc. These apps are called secure document wallets. People can save virtual copies of their vehicle-related documents and use them accordingly.

 

In addition to vehicle registration, vehicle insurance is also a crucial thing that you must have. Under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, the Indian government has made it mandatory for anyone who owns or operates a vehicle in India to purchase auto insurance. A person who is caught breaching the law by a traffic official will be penalized significantly. Officials may even take legal action against the individual if necessary. To ensure a smooth experience and save time, acquire automobile insurance through the Bajaj Markets platform. Bajaj Markets does not provide insurance; nonetheless, some organizations on the platform provide automobile insurance online via the portal. You can purchase from any of them.

 

Below are the types of vehicle insurance.

Third-Party Insurance

A third-party insurance policy protects you against legal or unintentional liability, financial loss, or physical harm. The policy also covers you in the event that your car causes a third-party injury or death.

Comprehensive Insurance

Comprehensive insurance will cover your vehicle in the event of an accident, theft, or damage caused by man-made or natural disasters. All third-party liabilities are covered by the comprehensive insurance plan.
