Having at least a valid third-party vehicle insurance is mandatory for each vehicle driving in India, and failing to have one attracts these penalties:

Fines

The penalty for driving without a valid car insurance policy is ₹2,000 and/or imprisonment for up to three months for the first consequence. For subsequent offences, the fine increases to ₹4,000.

Legal Repercussions

Driving without a bike insurance policy can also lead to legal complications as if you are involved in an accident, you may face lawsuits for damages.

Financial Consequences

If you have a fleet of commercial vehicles transporting goods on Gujarat highways that are not secured with commercial insurance policy, then you may face significant financial risks in the event of an accident, as you would have to bear all the expenses for damages and medical costs out of pocket.
