First you must know whether you need to transfer car insurance at all while selling your car and if so, why?
You need a car insurance to protect your car from any unforeseen events and damages. So, when you sell your car, there is no point in having an insurance for that car. Thus, it is important to transfer the car insurance in the name of the new owner. If you are the buyer, just ensure to get the car insurance in your name.
Below are two other important reasons to transfer car insurance policy:
To transfer car insurance from one person to another, you need to submit the below mentioned documents to your insurer:
NCB is an important aspect of the car insurance transfer process. While transferring the car insurance, you must remember to retain your no claim bonus.

If the car insurance transfer process remains incomplete, you will not be able to make any claims for third-party damages if any such damage is caused due to an accident or collision.
In the event that uninsured automobile causes third-party damage, you will be legally responsible the losses from your own money.
The Motor Insurance Act makes it clear that it is the responsibility of the seller of the car to ensure that the current car insurance policy is transferred to the new owner. And the process should be done within 2 weeks of selling the vehicle.
Further, you must know that for the first 2 weeks of selling the vehicle, it automatically transfers the third-party insurance cover to the new owner and stays active too. However, this facility is not allowed for own damage coverage. So, to get Own Car Damage coverage, you have to wait for the transfer car ownership to be completely done. Additionally, if the transfer is not completed within the first two weeks, even the third-party policy gets dissolved.
