If the person has not gotten into an accident and or has not broken any traffic laws in the last five years, the RTO will tell the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority, to charge a low Insurance premium amount.
If the person has a bad record of multiple traffic law violations and many accidents, the RTO will recommend a high insurance premium amount. State transport commissioner Shekhar Channe said that the RTO will have access to all the vehicle Insurance details.
