Buying new car is going to become more expensive from September 1, 2021. After the decision of the Madras High Court of mandating own damage coverage for cars from the month of September, now you may have to pay Rs 10 to Rs 12,000 more as down payment for a four-wheeler.
While if you are buying a two-wheeler then you will have to pay up to Rs 1,000 more. With this, the cost of insurance on a new vehicle will increase significantly for 5 years because according to the rules, third party insurance on a new vehicle is necessary for three years for four-wheeler and 2 years for two wheelers.
As per the information, after the first year, every year the insurance cost will increase by 20 percent.
But after the decision of Madras High Court, bumper to bumper insurance will be mandatory for 5 years on the purchase of new car, meaning you will also have to take own damage insurance policy.
