Here are the steps you should take:
Driving a car without valid insurance is a legal offence under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Every vehicle on Indian roads must have at least a valid third-party insurance policy. If you are caught driving without insurance, you may face a fine of up to ₹2,000 and/or imprisonment for up to 3 months for the first offence. Besides penalties, you will have to bear all repair costs and third-party liabilities arising from an accident on your own.
