The requirement for a valid PUC certificate in order to claim accident insurance under a car insurance policy is making the rounds on social media.
News Claim: The requirement for a valid PUC certificate in order to claim accident insurance under a car insurance policy is making the rounds on social media. People have therefore feared that a pollution certificate is required in order to submit an accident insurance claim.
News Verification: This information is wholly false. This has been verified by PIB. It claimed that this information is entirely false. It is incorrectly stated that the accident will not be taken into account if the vehicle does not have a current Pollution Control Board certificate.
From its official Twitter account, PIB stated that a valid PUC certificate is not required in order to make a claim for accident insurance under a vehicle insurance policy. False information has been spread among the people.

The PUC certificate of vehicles is a topic that is frequently discussed these days because of the approaching winter season and rising pollution. Winter is also a time of increased pollution. Additionally, there are more accidents happening now.
Vehicles are being ticketed in the meanwhile for lacking a pollution certificate. However, another erroneous rumour that vehicles cannot obtain insurance if they do not have pollution certificates spread in the interim. By fact-checking it, PIB has shown that it is untrue.
News Verdict: Thus, based on the above fact check, it can be concluded that the viral post is false.
