April 11, 2025<\/strong> – Zurich Kotak General Insurance is a trusted name for insurance solutions, ensuring policyholders experience hassle-free claim settlements. The transfer of car insurance policy has been an integral part of any buying or selling of four-wheelers. Be it in the case of resale, inheritance, or even company vehicle reassignment, the transfer is crucial. However, many vehicle owners focus only on transferring ownership through the Regional Transport Office (RTO) medium. They often overlook the importance of updating the insurance policy that reflects the new owner’s details. Failure to do so can lead to claim rejections, legal complications or even financial liabilities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Many policyholders have little clarity on transferring the ongoing <\/span><\/span>car insurance policy<\/u><\/span><\/span><\/a>. While many assume that car insurance automatically follows the vehicle, this is not the case. In fact, Section 157 of the Motor Vehicles Act stipulates that both the buyer and the seller must ensure that the car insurance transfer is completed within 14 days of the vehicle’s purchase. Zurich Kotak General Insurance has outlined a detailed guide on how to transfer the car insurance policy. While the focus is on general procedures, we’ll also touch upon how we facilitate this process to ensure a seamless experience for the policyholders. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The insurance transfer process begins with updating the Registration Certificate (RC) in the name of the new owner at the Regional Transport Office (RTO). This step is mandatory, as insurance cannot be transferred unless the legal ownership is changed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
