What is lesser: Paying the fine or paying the premium? Find out!
There has been a lot of buzz around the new Motor Vehicle Amendment Act 2019. Starting September 1st 2019, the fines have been increased, ensuring that the people do not violate the rules and stay safe. This new amendment has come into play to check the accident rates and make sure of road safety.
It is mandatory to have a
two wheeler insurance policy to ride the vehicle on road. If you do not have insurance, you are liable to pay a fine of Rs. 2000 and/or face imprisonment for up to 3 months. For the second offence, the fine will increase to Rs. 4000 and/or 3 months imprisonment. It is hence better to go for an insurance rather than pay the penalties. The subsequent fines have resulted in renewal and buying of insurance policies.
The process of
two wheeler insurance renewal is very easy and quick. It is completely digitized and you can get this done from your smart phone itself. It is always better to update or buy the two wheeler insurance rather than pay the fine.
For Ravi Mathur staying in Mumbai, he thanked his stars that he renewed his two wheeler insurance just one day before 1st September. The traffic police caught him and he had all the papers with him and the renewed two wheeler insurance too. Had he not got it renewed for a minimum amount, he would have paid the fine of Rs. 2000 and/ or faced 3 months imprisonment.
