Car Insurance Premium
The Union Road Transport Ministry has proposed to increase the premium of third-party motor insurance for various categories of vehicles. Because of this, the insurance cost of cars and two-wheelers will likely increase from April 1.
Car owners’ pockets will be so loose

Earlier IRDAI used to notify the rate
Earlier the insurance regulator IRDAI used to notify the rates of third-party insurance. For the first time, the Ministry of Transport will notify the rates of third-party insurance after consultation with the insurance regulator.
Electric car owners benefit
According to the draft notification, a discount of 15 percent is proposed on electric private cars, electric two-wheelers, electric commercial vehicles for carrying goods and electric passenger vehicles.
A discount of 7.5 per cent is offered on the rate of third party insurance premium for Hybrid Electric Vehicles. This is a proposal to promote the use of environmentally friendly vehicles.
Third party insurance cover is essential
Along with an insurance cover that covers your damages, a third party insurance cover is also a must. This insurance cover covers any collateral damage in a road accident. The ministry has sought suggestions on the draft notification by the end of March
