Third party insurance premium chart for every vehicle class
This third party insurance premium chart lists the premiums notified by the Government of India for compulsory motor third-party (TP) cover, and works out the amount for your vehicle. Choose the class, enter the engine size in cc, the motor power in kW or the gross vehicle weight, and it shows the base premium, GST and total — plus the full chart with your row highlighted.
The third party insurance premium for car and the third party insurance premium for two wheeler are the same at every insurer, because the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) fixes them by notification in consultation with IRDAI. What differs between quotes is the own-damage part, add-ons and discounts such as NCB.
How to use the third-party premium chart
- Pick the vehicle class — private car, two-wheeler, electric, long-term new-vehicle cover, taxi, auto-rickshaw, bus or goods carrier.
- Enter the engine capacity (cc), motor power (kW) or gross vehicle weight (kg) from the registration certificate.
- For taxis, auto-rickshaws and buses, enter the licensed passengers excluding the driver.
- Leave GST on Standard (18%, or 5% for goods carriers) or change it, and tick vintage or hybrid if they apply.
- Read the total, then scan the chart below for any other class.

Third party insurance premium for car and two-wheeler
Annual rates from Table I of the 2022 rules, and the single premium for the compulsory long-term cover on new vehicles (Table IV). Electric vehicles use separate kW-based tables (Tables V and VI), about 15% cheaper.
| Vehicle | Annual TP premium | New vehicle, long-term |
|---|---|---|
| Car up to 1,000 cc | ₹2,094 | ₹6,521 (3 years) |
| Car 1,001–1,500 cc | ₹3,416 | ₹10,640 (3 years) |
| Car above 1,500 cc | ₹7,897 | ₹24,596 (3 years) |

| Two-wheeler 76–150 cc | ₹714 | ₹3,851 (5 years) |
| Two-wheeler 151–350 cc | ₹1,366 | ₹7,365 (5 years) |

Which year is this chart from?
The rates come from the Motor Vehicles (Third Party Insurance Base Premium and Liability) Rules, 2022 — notification G.S.R. 394(E) of 25 May 2022, in force from 1 June 2022. A January 2024 amendment (G.S.R. 32(E)) changed only the three-wheeler passenger and e-rickshaw rows. When this page was checked on 19 October 2026 no newer notification had been published, although an increase was proposed during 2025–26. If one is notified, the new figures replace these from its effective date.
A worked example: a 1,197 cc hatchback falls in the 1,001–1,500 cc band, so the TP premium is ₹3,416, GST at 18% adds ₹615 and the total is ₹4,031 for a year. Compare running costs with the fuel cost calculator or loan costs with the car loan calculator.
What third-party cover includes
- Unlimited liability for death or injury of other people, and cover for damage to third-party property, as the Motor Vehicles Act requires.
- It does not cover damage to your own vehicle — that needs own-damage cover, where your no claim bonus applies.
- Compulsory personal accident cover for the owner-driver is priced separately by insurers.
- Driving without valid third-party insurance is an offence under the Motor Vehicles Act.
