Your vehicle registration number is the unique vehicle identification number issued by Regional Transport Office (RTO) and mentioned in your vehicle RC book. The vehicle registration number is printed on license plate and affixed to your vehicle.
Kindly note: While entering your vehicle registration number, please be careful about similar looking characters and number, like alphabet ‘O’ being used in place of number 0 or vice-versa.
You buy a new car and pay the full price. Then, not long after, it gets stolen or damaged beyond any possibility of repair. The claim gets approved, and then comes the part nobody warns you about. The payout is lower than what you originally paid. Why? Because a standard policy settles the claim based on the car's depreciated value, not the invoice price you paid on day one. The gap between the two can be significant, and without the right cover, that difference comes out of your own pocket.
The Return to Invoice (RTI) cover is built to bridge that gap. In major situations like theft or total loss, RTI cover helps bring the settlement closer to what you actually paid for the car, so you are not left absorbing a loss you never anticipated.
RTI insurance works in a straightforward way. You add RTI to your existing car insurance policy. If your car is stolen and not recovered, or if the damage is severe enough to be treated as a total loss, the add-on comes into effect. Instead of settling only on the car's current insured declared value, the claim amount reflects the price on your original invoice, depending on the terms of your policy. That difference is where RTI cover earns its place.
If your car is new, RTI is one of those add-ons that can genuinely feel worth having. But remember that RTI is not an all-situations add-on. It does not apply to small accidents, scratches, dents, or repairs where the car can still be fixed. It also does not generally cover additional accessories unless they have been specifically declared and included in the policy.
Think of RTI cover as protection for the bigger setbacks, not the everyday ones. It steps in when things go seriously wrong: damage beyond repair and theft of your vehicle.
Some potential benefits of RTI cover in car insurance are:
With this add-on, you get the full amount you paid for the car (as per the invoice) if it's stolen or totally damaged.
RTI in car insurance financially safeguards you. It helps prevent big financial losses, especially if your car gets stolen or damaged.
This cover offers you peace of mind, as you know you won't have to bear out-of-pocket expenses in case your car is damaged or lost.
The RTI cover in car insurance is applicable when your car is declared a total loss or is stolen and cannot be recovered. A total loss usually means the car is damaged beyond repair due to natural or man-made calamities such as fire, explosion, earthquake, typhoon, etc. Please go through the policy wordings to learn about various aspects of the cover in detail.
To calculate RTI cover:
Find out your car’s original value when you purchased it, including its registration and ex-showroom prices.
Know your car’s insured declared value (IDV). IDV is the car’s current market value, not its original price. Depreciation reduces IDV every year.
Subtract the invoice from the original invoice value. This is the amount the RTI cover will pay over your regular plan. Check with the insurer regarding the sum insured offered under this add-on.

No. Additional accessories might get covered only if they have been specifically declared and included in the policy at the time of purchase. If they are not listed, they fall outside the scope of the RTI cover.
If you are a new car owner, you can opt for buying a return to invoice cover.
The amount depends on your car’s model and the insurer’s pricing. Check with your insurer regarding its pricing.
Generally, you can’t buy this cover for obsolete car models. However, if permissible by your insurer, you can do so. In such a scenario, the last selling price of the vehicle will be considered to pay the sum insured.
RTI is an add-on cover while IDV is the current market price of the vehicle.
