Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has issued an order which states that the mandatory third-party (TP) insurance for two-wheelers and cars have been increased and will come into effect from 16th June 2019.
According to the new rule, the TP insurance premium for two-wheelers of less than 75cc engine capacity has been increased to Rs 482 whereas those which are of 75-150cc engine capacity will need to pay Rs 752.
The existing premium of Rs 985 for the two-wheelers that fall in the 150-350cc engine capacity range has been increased to Rs 1,193, about 21%. There are no changes in the premium of two-wheelers with over 350cc engine capacity; so buy a motorcycle that falls in this category to avoid paying any extra TP insurance premium!
