A bike insurance policy is a legal contract between an insurance company and the bike owner. On the basis of this contract for which a premium is paid, the insurance company compensates the financial loss of the policyholder if the bike is stolen or damaged.
According to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, it is mandatory to have third-party liability insurance for your bike for claims that can be made on you by other people for their property damage, injury or death. It is advisable to have an Own-damage cover for paying for repairs or replacement of your vehicle. Together, these covers are called Comprehensive Policy.
