Hike in mandatory third-party motor insurance premium: Check FADA's reaction, and what consumers should know - Top points
Normally, the mandatory motor TP insurance cover rates are revised from April 1. However, this time, the new rates for fiscal 2019-20 will be applicable from June 16.

With Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irdai) increasing the mandatory third party (TP) motor insurance premium by up to 21 per cent for certain categories, car and two-wheeler insurance will cost more from June 16. Normally, the mandatory motor TP insurance cover rates are revised from April 1. However, this time, the new rates for fiscal 2019-20 will be applicable from June 16.

Now, Manish Raj Singhania, Hony. Secretary of Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (FADA) has reacted to the IRDAI's decision on the announcement of hikes in third-party motor insurance. Here is what he said:-

“The Automobile Industry is already going through a difficult phase with low sales & subdued customer sentiments. This sudden change in price hike of 3rd party insurance will again dent the pace of sales, specially the 2W category which is already reeling under price hike for mandatory 5 yrs insurance and ABS/CBD implementation. We feel IRDAI should reconsider the price hike, as this increase would significantly impact the sales volume also affecting the insurance business. However, as the report says the proposed 15% discount on third party insurance on Electric Vehicles (private cars & two wheelers) is a welcome move through the sales of such vehicles are very minuscule. Going forward, we would require substantial support from all quarters and specially the insurance industry to help the automobile industry to recover from the slowing demand affected by the uncertainty around NBFC and the previous regulation passed for collecting three and five years of premium for new cars & two-wheelers respectively.”

What you as a consumer should know about what Irdai has said in order: TOP THINGS TO KNOW
