Documents to carry while DRIVING.

          The Indian law mandates that you must have four documents with you when you drive: Your original Driving license, Original valid pollution under control (PUC) certificate and photocopies of vehicle Registration Certificate and vehicle Insurance Certificate. 

           Besides the mandatory documents, the drivers of vehicles should also carry health related documents such as medical insurance papers, blood group, latest update about any disease and drugs (like diabetes, seizure medicines).


          Just as the Motor Vehicle Act allows drivers to also carry the required documents electronically, all medical documents can also be carried in an electronic format. These can also be stored in your phone in any app.  

RTI: That digital format papers is the only requirement
