What is the period for which a Motor policy is issued?

All motor policies are annual policies issued for a period of twelve months. However, extension to a further period less than 12 months can be allowed with the approval of the competent authority, for arriving the renewals of the customer on a common date or for any other reason convenient to the customer. Additional premium needs to be collected for such extensions. Period less than 12 months can be given on a Short Period basis only with the approval of the competent authority.
