Long-term Third Party Cover for Five Years for New Bike Owners

The Supreme Court has made the five-year upfront cover compulsory on all new two wheeler insurance policies, as per the regulation passed in July 2018. This has been enforced since 1st September 2018 and is applicable for all comprehensive and third party two wheeler insurance policies purchased on and after 1st September 2018. With this regulation, owners of new two wheelers no longer have to renew their comprehensive or third party two wheeler insurance policies every year.

The objective behind this rule is to ensure that every two wheeler owner purchases at least a third party two wheeler insurance, if not a comprehensive cover. This initiative is especially directed towards two wheelers that have been on the roads for a few years, but are yet to purchase at least a third party two wheeler insurance. Two wheeler owners often tend to not renew their third party two wheeler insurance plans after a few years of purchasing them. Or else, they purchase an insurance plan that does not offer sufficient risk coverage. This new provision is designed to serve the dual purpose of ensuring that newly purchased two wheelers have robust risk coverage and also financially protects third parties against injuries and accidental demises caused by the new two wheelers.
