- The Rs 15 lakh owner-driver cover is mandatory; this prescribed rate is what most insurers charge for the annual form.
- FASTag
- Tag cost only. Issuers add a deposit and minimum balance; dealer bundles commonly total Rs 500-600.
- Comprehensive own-damage cover
- Not in this total. Lenders require it and most buyers take it, but it has been market-priced since 2007 and varies widely with insurer, cover value and no-claim bonus, so an honest single figure does not exist. Budget for it from real quotes on top of this total.
Confirm the final figure with your dealer before paying.
