The process of insurance transactions is often dependent on third-party service providers. For this reason, the possibility of getting caught in the clutches of any fraudster and their network increases. There is a lack of awareness in the field of motor insurance, so they fall prey to such traitors. Now according to the new rules, while two-wheeler owners also have to buy a third-party policy for five years, private car owners have been required to buy the policy for three years. In such a situation, the premium for auto insurance has increased considerably. This new situation has given the fraudsters a golden opportunity to cheat the insurance holders and they lure them into their trap by offering at least a lure of premiums and tell the customers that this is the right policy. Whereas in reality, it does not happen.

Premium payment receipt

Insurance customers should demand a real receipt of all paid premiums. Not only this, but they should also keep a receipt for every premium paid. If there is a problem in the policy, the receipt of this premium payment is very useful.
