A.Dear client,
Under the scheme, in case of death due to accident or complete disability, the beneficiary's nominee gets ₹ Two Lakh, while in case of partial disability an amount ₹ One Lakh is given to the nominee.
Although the same is not compulsory however, having a car insurance is mandatory driving document in India.

Hope it helps.
