Documents You'll Need To Ride A Two-Wheeler In India
Key Highlights
  • Certain crucial documentation must be carried with you at all times
  • Bike paperwork is not only useful but also required
  • Two-wheeler drivers must be cautious of a number of factors

The following documents are required to ride a two-wheeler in India:

1. Registration Certificate

2. Driving License

3. Bike Insurance Policy

4. Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate

5. Fitness Certificate

6. Medical Certificate

So, you've just bought a new bike and can't wait to ride it, right? But, do you have all of the necessary paperwork to get on the road? Let's have a discussion about it.

If you're going for a bike ride, be sure you have all of the paperwork required by the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988. You could get stuck in Nakabandi if you don't have this paperwork, and you'll be fined according to the newly implemented traffic penalty.

As a result, don't take any chances!

When riding your bike in India, you should always carry the following documentation with you:

1. Registration Certificate

It is the most important bike document that you must carry with you at all times, and it is commonly referred to as the RC. The RC verifies the bike's legitimacy and serves as proof that it has been registered with the Regional Transport Office (RTO). The registration number, make and model of the bike, as well as the vehicle's owner information, are all included on the document.

2. Driving License

It is also required that you have a valid driver's licence with you, as this is what allows you to legally ride a two-wheeler on public roadways. The RTO issues it after the applicant passes the mandatory driving test. In addition, the law specifies whether two-wheelers with or without gears are permitted to be ridden. It is critical that you ride a bike that is compliant with your driver's licence. According to the Motor Vehicles Act of 1988, you must have your driver's licence with you at all times when riding a bike.

3. Bike Insurance Policy

When riding a bike on public roads, you must have a two-wheeler insurance policy. The document proves that the bike is insured with both Third-Party Liability and Own Damage coverage, which is required (if opted for). The registration number of the vehicle, the insurance company, the type of coverage, the policy's duration, and the coverage limit are all listed on the insurance policy. The MV Act 1988 requires you to carry the bike's insurance policy document with you at all times.

4. Pollution Under Control (PUC) Certificate

The PUC Certificate verifies the amount of pollution your bike produces. It will also contain the registration number of the bike. It will determine whether the amount of carbon monoxide generated by your vehicle is below legal limits. When riding a motorcycle on Indian roads, you must have it with you at all times.

5. Fitness Certificate

If your bike is more than 15 years old, you must carry a bike fitness certificate with you on the road at all times. This will need to be renewed every two years.

6. Medical Certificate

Those over the age of 50 must present a medical certificate if the authorities want it. The Medical Certificate certifies that you are medically fit to ride a motorcycle. The certificate must be signed by a doctor who certifies that the applicant is medically fit to possess a two-wheeler driver's licence.

Keep this list handy and remember to carry the above-mentioned documents with you at all times to stay in compliance with the law.
