FAQs

1. Which bike insurance policies are mandatory to acquire in India?

According to the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, all vehicle owners must have third-party bike insurance in India. You are required to get a 5-year two-wheeler insurance coverage if you are a new two-wheeler owner and decided to go along with basic third-party bike insurance.

2. Which are the top bike options in India for a budget of less than INR 1 Lakh?

India's most acclaimed and widely popular bike options under Rs. 1 Lakh include Bajaj Pulsar 125, TVS Sport, Hero Passion Pro, and Honda Shine. 

3. Is the bike reservation fee refundable?

You must contact the dealer and ask to rescind the reservation, providing the booking reference number and mobile number (that you used while booking). The dealer will return the total booking cost for any legitimate cancellation requests.

4. Are bikes cheaper in the winter?

Since they don't move as much stock when riding situations aren't as good, bike shops in areas with cooler off-seasons are likely to offer discounted bikes. But a common practice among bike stores is to reduce the price of bikes from previous model years to eliminate them and create space for new models. You can also avail discounts on bike insurance premiums whenever applicable. 

5. What is the GST rate for bikes and bike insurance?

Bikes with engines under 350cc pay a GST tax rate of 28% (base rate). However, a compensatory surcharge of 3% is applied to the base rate if the bike's engine capacity surpasses 350cc, raising the overall tax rate to 31%. The GST for two-wheeler insurance is 18%.
