What Documents to Keep in Your Car in India

Missing documents can lead to avoidable fines.

Keep these ready

  • Driving Licence
  • RC
  • Valid insurance

Physical vs digital

DigiLocker and mParivahan documents are generally accepted. Keep your phone charged and app login accessible.

Good practice

Store a soft copy folder and set expiry reminders for insurance and PUC.
