Need for Motor Insurance
Driving a vehicle without valid motor insurance is a criminal offence under the Motor Vehicles Act 1988. Just like the rest of the country, Wadala RTO also implements this rule for better road safety. Your first offence can lead to a fine of ₹2000 with possible imprisonment. Any subsequent offence is punishable with a fine of ₹4000 and possible imprisonment. The RTO office also doesn’t allow any vehicle registration without a valid insurance document.
However, the core purpose of any motor insurance is to protect you from unexpected financial expenses during times of need. Suppose you are navigating your way through the congested Wadala traffic and end up clashing with another vehicle.
