A working group committee appointed by the insurance regulator IRDAI has recommended introducing a new section in motor insurance premiums for reducing traffic violations. The committee recently submitted its draft report on the prospect of linking motor insurance premiums with traffic violations.
In a draft proposal, the committee has recommended inserting a new section to Motor Insurance called ‘Traffic Violation Premium’ or TVP in addition to the four sections — Own Damage insurance, the mandatory Basic Third-Party insurance, Additional Third-Party insurance and Compulsory Personal Accident Premium.
