If you already have a motorbike or are planning to purchase one, you should know that getting bike insurance is mandated by law. According to the Motor Vehicles Act, possessing a valid bike insurance is mandatory if you wish to ride your motorbike on public roads. Failure to adhere to this rule can get you into trouble with the authorities and can even lead to a penalty of Rs. 2,000. That’s why it is important to possess valid bike insurance at all times.

But then, fear of legal consequences shouldn’t just be the only reason for you to purchase or renew your motorbike insurance. In fact, insurance offers several other benefits too. For instance, in the event of an accident involving you and your vehicle, bike insurance can help protect you financially from third party damage claims. You can use the insurance to help repair your damaged motorbike as well. 

Since bike insurance plays such a huge role, it is crucial to ensure that you renew it on time every year. A lapsed insurance policy will not provide any benefits and you will end up losing the financial safety net. 

That said, if you’re worried about the renewal process being too lengthy and time consuming, you’re in for a surprise. With the Finserv MARKETS app, all it takes is just 10 steps to get your bike insurance renewed. Finding it hard to believe? See for yourself.
