Insurance companies always verify RTO records to check whether your vehicle is registered, the jurisdictional RTO, registration location, etc. The RTO updates ownership information when a vehicle is sold or the owner changes, so the new owner receives the correct insurance policy.

RTOs also make sure that all vehicles comply with the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. Third-party insurance is compulsory. The RTO where your vehicle is registered can also affect your motor insurance premium. Usually, vehicles registered in urban areas are charged higher premiums due to the higher risk of accidents, whereas those registered in smaller towns are charged lower premiums.
