How to get Vehicle Insurance in Punjab?

Like vehicle registration, vehicle insurance is mandatory in India. One can get his/her prized possession insured either online or offline. When the mandatory vehicle insurance i.e. Third Party vehicle insurance covers the insured for legal liabilities arising from a third party, the Comprehensive insurance offers optimum coverage by insuring the own damage as well. As there is no dearth of insurance providers in Punjab, one can easily buy insurance. However, one must be sure of one thing that he is buying only after analysing his requirements and comparing the plans online.
