A viral claim on social media says that if the validity of a vehicle’s pollution under control (PUC) certificate is expired during the time of an accident, the insurance firms will not cover any damages. According to claims, the order was issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) and has later been approved by the Supreme Court. PIB has clarified that the viral claim is fake. IRDAI did not issue a circular saying insurance companies will not cover accident damages to a vehicle if the validity of the PUC certificate is expired at the time of the accident. Fact Check: WhatsApp Message Claiming Helmet No More Mandatory For Bikers Under Limits of Civic Bodies in Across India Goes Viral, Government Issues Clarification
